Update: 12:06 PM EDT June 9: Added new art to the end of the post - tavern brawl art.
Update 1:36 PM EDT: According to the German Facebook page, there are no plans for co-op
New Main Button Being Added to Hearthstone
Thanks to a post on the Hearthstone facebook page, it looks like a new button is being added to the main screen in Hearthstone.
We are not yet sure what it will be for, although it is worth pointing out that the current buttons we have are all for various play modes.
We have confirmed that the new Heroes will be chosen via the collection manager, which means Zhang Dong's statement that there was still more to come appears to be accurate. We are indeed getting another large piece of content! What are you hoping for?
Clarifications
Quote from BlizzardThere are currently no plans for a co-op mode. (Hearthstone.de Facebook)
Will new hero portraits be usable in arena?
How does this selection process work? In the settings or when you click 'play ranked'
It'll be a part of the collection manager. - Zeriyah (Source)
Tavern Brawl Art
Some new art has been posted on the @PlayHearthstone Twitter account. We aren't sure if it has any relation to the new button, but it is worth mentioning.
Man, I wish this could be a FFA mode. Just because you'll have that one game where you're playing priest and you que into 3 hunters.
What if it's free for all multiplayer, thats not Co-op.
Maybe these characters on art are new heroes we'll see? More Taurens, Pandarens n Gnomes!
GUYS, what do we see in the art? A lot of people in a somewhat small space, fighting. Now you think, is that a place where you'd want to spend time? Of course not. So why don't they leave? Because there is still no Exit Button. Exit button HYPE!!!
Hahaha, if that's really it I'll laugh my ass off :D Such troll, much epic, wow
Tournament mode! Where you choose a total of players and the numbers of matches you need to win 2/3 3/5 4/7 and you can pick that number of decks with any cards (not only the ones you have collected). Dream cost nothing right? Kappa
On the 18 of Mai, Blizz CMs change the cover for this one.
May be it have something to do with it?
I think this will be the next expansion that gets revealed at E3, while the hero portraits and new mode are features on the side to build up hype.
I like the fact that in the picture everyone is on a ship. Maybe its a new type of adventure mode That u can play with friends?
brawl mode ? random cards? win the most with random deck untill you deafeted. seems it can be after all HS after Gvg = RNG :P (the last part of rng was a joke-bad one?)
Time to make better decks. If you complain about positive RNG, make an RNG deck. Stop blaming random outcomes.
While it's likely to be a tournament system, I think it'd be cool if it were some multiplayer mode. Hm... although as I type this I suppose that would wind up being under the "Play" button. Either way, I'm pumped!

Literally at the top of the post.
ffs I hope you're right mate, I can't wait anymore for my new Warrior art and cardback, I main Garrosh and even have him golden.
A FIGHT? COUNT ME IN!
It's the Give Blizzard Money button.
It's quite obviously some sort of Tournament mode. Those of you who think it's achievements are smoking crack. If they added achievements, they'd be in a little token by the store and quests. From a UI standpoint it makes no sense to have all your play modes in the middle and then a random button that has nothing to do with play modes. On top of that, the "Tavern Brawl" artwork all but confirms that it is a tournament style game mode.
I say its the tournament mode
Ok so the usual announcement on e3 is on the 16 ( if i`m not mistaken )
I feel if they planned to do it there , they started the teasing way too early . Must emerge before it and e3 will hear about a card expansion maybe >?
