I'm hoping to watch Togwaggle being destroyed by a massive bass once again.
Don't talk about my homie Togwaggle like that.
yo you looking to get stomped out by the kobold crew spaghetti man
Mage-centric expansion? Finally! I wonder how many Mage cards will be RNG based.
Probably around the usual amount - between 99.5% and 100% :D
A CHINESE LINK WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE!
New expansion is about [Scholomance]:
something about new hero portrait, but is cut off
prepurhase: kel'thuzad card back
Naxx Card Back will be back for purchase with 500 gold or 18RMB
2 free epic cards: transferred student(?)

Yeah image looks pretty legit. While name transferred student looks strange Scholomance does roughly translate to psychic academy and even the English version of the dungeon has units called Scholomance Students. So Looks pretty good.
Just copy and pasting the hero information for battlegrounds from the reddit.
Battleground:
new hero: Tess Greymane
- hero power: ? mana, refresh tavern, minions will be the minions of your last opponent
return hero: Brann Bronzebeard
<code class="_34q3PgLsx9zIU5BiSOjFoM"> - hero power: 1 mana, refresh tavern and all minions will be minions with battlecry </code>
return hero: Mukla
<code class="_34q3PgLsx9zIU5BiSOjFoM"> - hero power: 1 mana, get 2 bananas, everyone else will get 1 banana at the end of your turn. </code>
new minion: Mega Amalgam(?) Tier 6
<code class="_34q3PgLsx9zIU5BiSOjFoM"> - Adapt for each different type minion you own</code>
Tess sounds insane.
Bout damn time.
Don't you see "Anduin" wrotten on the table?
wrotten
that hurts

I just thought of something. Magic + Purple + what looks like proper stonemasonry on the card back in the tweet: Mage Quarter in Stormwind.
Add the Gnome mage type character in the leaked image from China and suddenly an Alliance inspired magic expansion seems a real possibility.
If you are not familiar with World of Warcraft, this is a pic of the Mage Quarter in the Alliance main city of Stormwind:
OMG
I was poking around in the Mage Quarter looking for things that might tie into this and, well look at this shit:
That's a bunch of kids with Magic hats on that look EXACTLY like the one the Gnome has on + the hats are purple and gold.
I wonder if we are getting some kind of Junior Mage type thing in this expansion/game mode...
You win.
I think there's also a chance that scholomance could be involved. Like you play an exchange student from the mage quarter visiting scholomance.
Scholomance is a school for Necromancy though, not just regular magic. I think the message today would have been different, darker, if it was necromancy and Scholo.
But, we'll find out tomorrow. More than happy to be proven wrong.
how do cats fit in this?
Funny you should mention that. I was just feeding my cats and thinking about the expansion, and the ONE thing that does point to Scholomance and Kel'thuzad is that "cat" reference that the devs made, cause Kel'Thuzad is famous for having a cat and deeply loving it. Mr. Bigglesworth
They'd have to have given Scholomance one hell of a make over though to make it not just be drab and evil all over with skeletons and undead (something I assume would not play well in China).
I love the idea that you found :) However I think the expansion is called Scholomance Academy
