Possible Expansion Teaser! A Red Parrot Has Appeared
In a tweet from @PlayHearthstone today, it looks like we might have an expansion teaser on our hands! The tweet makes a reference to pirates and there's a nice red birb flying over Gurubashi Arena in Stranglethorn Vale. It's a long-shot, but we may also have seen the new set icon on the cloth the bird is holding.
The next Hearthstone expansion will be announced tomorrow, November 2, at BlizzCon. Stay tuned to our front page for all our coverage of this year's big event and all the new information on the latest Hearthstone will have to offer.
1/1 draw a pirate?
So what the bloody hell was this parrot all about then? :)
It is holding rogues shark spirit flag, so it has something to do with rogues maybe :)
I guess - plus there are some pirate (and pirate themed) cards so I guess that's why :)
It is probably going to be a proper pirate parrot unlike Captain's Parrot
Could just be a reference to all of the pirates in Stranglethorn Vale, where the arena is located.
i was right all along, its a troll theme and stranglethorn vale
I told ya!

Pirates, pirates....
rogue is getting a new hero card, yay!
Am I the only one that remembered the pirate card back (from last month)? To go along with the parrot, ocean, island theme that could possibly be going on, unless we are getting baited by Blizzard.
From a Blizzard Forum on Feb 27, from a guy named "Warsong". This was based on the images given to us for Year of the Raven.
1. Corrupted Time Bronze Dragon
2. Tempest Keep in Outland (Kael'thas)
3. Probably Zandalari or Armani.
Guy was off on one, close on two, and appears to have gotten 3 dead on.
Original Post
He beat me by a few days but this one's from March 5th predictions.
1. Emerald Dream
2. Ethereal Portal
3. Darkspear Trolls

Troll Naga Pirate Hybrid Expansion with mutant murlocs? Why not, Bliz!
Obviously an oceanic themed expansion with a heavy emphasis on Pirates and likely beasts.
Legendary Hero Patches anyone?
I'm in Charge!! With variable hero powers like Dr. Boom.
This is what i don’t understand. HS is based on WoW which has one of the richest, most intriguing lore of all time, and this is coming from a guy who hasn’t played a second of WoW, but felt compelled to read about it because of HS. So instead of focusing more on the pivotal, epic characters and events from the story like Sargeras, Kil’Jaeden, Archimonde, the Titans, The Keepers etc, we get Pirates, Mechs (twice), drunken parties in Karazhan, Gangs in fucking Gadgetzan. I know the team wants to be original, and do their own thing, but i think that they’re missing out on a HUGE potential here to reinvigorate HS and pull back the playerbase. I truly hope we get more expansions like Knights of the Frozen throne that are themed around big events and characters from the story.
"richest, most intriguing lore of all time"
That's a niche opinion. I actually think the story stuff in Warcraft is very silly, though I think the characters from Warcraft 3 are fun, Hearthstone does not take Warcraft seriously, and it never should.
What I think about when I see the piece of cloth the bird is holding.
Looks like Dr. Boom has been busy.
Pirates?
No, just a new beast for druid with taunt, card draw and amor gain. :D
