We've had a chat with Talan, the Bartender, and we've got some cool images to share!

Or perhaps the new card mechanic will be a bunch of cards that have ridiculously high casting costs, however you will be able to play the card without the required mana. Here's the catch -the difference between the card cost and the amount of mana that you actually paid will added to your opponents mana crystals.
Example - you are on turn one and you have one mana crystal - you have a new "loan" card that costs 5 mana that gives you a decent minion. You can play it on turn one since you are short 4 mana - your opponent gets 4 mana crystals.
If this card is played in the late game when your opponent is already maxed out at 10 crystals perhaps they get a coin or that draw a card spell that you get when you play Wild Growth at 10 mana
Given that they mention the term "loan" twice in the gazette I am guessing that will be the new card mechanic. You will loan your opponent something of yours in return for some OP minion, weapon or spell. Kinda like overload but it will benefit your opponent who is giving you the "loan"
Perhaps you loan your opponent your mana crystals for a turn or two or maybe cards from your hand or deck in return for the benefit
"The revolving doors at the entrance feature a kodoproof cage and an unHexable glass"
Glass is a minion in the new expansion confirmed!
Dora R = New legendary
Talan = New legendary that adds cocktails to your hand.
The kodo will be a shaman or hunter beast.
but, Blizz i just needed IceCrown citadelexpansion :(
I think the expansion will contain buildings. Similar to the unattackable things we had in a few brawls and the Karazan Adventure. Evidence?
Unkodoable, is situational at best, and Hexproof, well it can just have untargetable by spells or heropower. But it fits in very well with the theme of what we can see so far, and what the article is talking about. Best of all, we will get the spoiler next week!!
I am fairly sure of this due to the last paragraph which states:
"Citizens can see the new building for themselves when the First ... opens to the public ... next week."
That door looks like a cardback!
Honestly, in the current state of the game, I'm done with the blizzard hype and hints.
Just tell me plainly about the content.
I really like this theme. I love how blizz do this kind of work to build up the hype! Well done :)
edit: i saw that on the top of the coins (in the first tease picture "Greeting from Gadgezan", letter "Z") there is the ogre face i think guys! Did you see it?
(sorry for the poor english)
Well I'm guessing because the game it was released early 2014, they may have had the idea back in 2013. So it could be a inside joke, the game was 'established' in 2013.
Tbh it's the silliest main article in newspaper ever if a bank publishes that his vault is unbreakable it invites thieves to try and break it xd silly bank.
Btw I am sure the art of the packs will be exactly that picture on the newspaper!
I really hope this is not another damn Goblin expansion...
sounds really more like an adventure instead of a regular expansion but that's not possible....weird
No the reveal of the expansion will be during Blizzcon (november 4th) i think but don't expect it will be releasead soon... It's generally released 4 to 6 weeks after the announcement so they can build hype and reveal cards little by little through voting system on their website.
You'd have a valid point if they didn't do the exact thing he suggested last year. They announced League during Blizzcon and it released the following Thursday.
League of Explorers is an Adventure so it has fewer card than an expansion so that's why they released it in the following week... This was done way before they started to reveal the way the game will be evolving each year with one Adventure and 2 Expansions on a year.
TBH i wouldn't mind seeing something new out of the blue right away but i don't think it will happen.
Asking the right question
If the next release would be an adventure it would kind of fit but as it is I think it is probably teasing at the heroic brawl. Besides they never teased an expantion this hard before the actual announcement.
New sexy Dora R. legendary elf (nightelf?) minion incoming? Elise Starseeker is already jealous :)
