Moar cardsssssssssss
http://wowwiki.wikia.com/Argent_Tournament
This is what I was thinking. Theme has to do with the Argent Tournament, which led up to the ICC raid to fight Arthas.

Time to think of argent tourney mechanics for a card game. Annnnd GO.
It matches up nicely with the "frost accents" on the Taiwan Hearthstone facebook page that went up a few days ago.

Sorry if this is obvious and I'm just dumb but, are they teasing news/announcement on the 22nd or are they teasing an actual release on the 22nd?
Edit: Nevermind. PC Gamer updated their article to say it's likely an announcement on the 22nd.

An announcement. No way the expansion comes out July 22nd. They are going to slow drip feed us the cards first.
More deathrattles would be too obvious, but I could see a new undead/scourge tribe be introduced. Maybe they could introduce a new mechanic involving the "light" to be the antithesis to the undead. Maybe a minion gets a certain extra ability or buff when it is undamaged.
I could see there being a better deathrattle counter card in this set. Something like 3cc 2/3 silence all deathrattle minions and draw a card if you hit any.
Jesus Christ no more Deathrattle cards please. Only Deathrattle I want to see are ones that counter other Deathrattles.
So tired of Eggs, Shredders, Dr Balanced, Sylvanas, Tirion, Mad Scientists, Highmanes, Leper Gnomes, Haunted Creepers, Belchers, Void Callers etc.
At least they learned their lesson with BRM which was good (I guess you can count Imp Gang Boss as one).

Yeah please no more annoying deathrattle creatures until they add more silence/anti-deathrattle cards

Basing an expansion off the Argent Tournament is a little weird to me. It's an area with not a lot of content technically. It was mostly dailies you did for reputation and silly items. The actual raid itself only had six bosses too. They could do an Undead tribe thing but that seems weird too since they just did Naxx.
However, thinking about it, maybe they'll have cards based off of the different factions within the major factions. That would be pretty sweet since I think we could use more diversity in card people.
For example, we have Stormwind Knight and Champion, but what about the rest of their corps? I'm personally a fan of the Forsaken, so I hope we get some cards for them.

Yeah sounds like an Argent Tourney expansion. The raid and dungeon for that sucked tho and they already used Jaraxxus which was the best thing about them.
Argent Tourney is in Icecrown which would fit that Ice tease. More then likely it's part of something bigger. They could use Twin Val'kyr, Anub'arak etc for the first wing of ICC, although they would prob use Halls of Reflection, Furnace of Souls and that slave digsite dungeons instead since they are actually in ICC.

I'd like to see a Spell Taunt creature, a Hero Power Block Creature, creatures that buff minions to have spell or attack taunt so long as they are alive (sort of like that mage card that makes adjacent minions immune to spells), discard effects onto opponent, things like that.
I don't expect any artifact or graveyard mechanics, or things you can activate during your opponent's turn to ever get introduced, but the base game needs to up its complexity somehow.

Yeah. It could mirror the wow progression lead up to ICC. This next content would be the Tournament with fighters etc from all races and then the next adventure in the fall/winter would be ICC and introduce the DK.

Hearthstone has a graveyard mechanic. Kind of. Resurrect is similar and there's one other card that does some weird shit, Kel'thuzad maybe
This sort of thing is the main reason I'm okay with short seasons. You always see fresh and fun stuff at least a few days a month at the start.

"We've heard your complaints about weak cards and have decided to give +2/+2 for every Argent card in the game. Rediscover these Argent minions by opening new Argent vs. Argent card packs."
We did it!
We did it!
It really was a low point that dragged on forever. I think that patch caused my first real drought since I started playing in Vanilla. Dailies seemed like a good idea in BC, but I quickly realized they killed the game for me in subsequent expansions. Duck Failies.

They should put in an actual argent squire complete with flag, not this apprentice off-brand thing. Use the horde equivalent to avoid name issues, Argent Gruntling.

What should I pick?
Leaning towards TBK, but HearthArena wants me to take Chromaggus.
Chromaggus.
Nefarian for fun.
Chrom is better I think. Black Knight will be a 4/5 for 6 most of the time except when you live the dream against a Paladin that drops Tirion.
Chrommagus is likely game winning if they don't have on-the-spot removal.

Personally I'd take Nefarian because he's fun and is guaranteed to do something when you play him, but since taunts are important in arena TBK will always be value.

I asked about whether they were releasing or announcing on the 22nd and it looks like PCgamer updated their article for clarification (they are announcing):

I hope something will go wrong at Blizzard and Druid will finally receive constructed viable class card in a new expansion.
Best brawl so far. Enjoyed it so much I pretty much did all my 3 60g backed up quests on it.
We'll probably get more beasts and crap removal, lol =(

May contain jokes =>
Game needs another large infusion of new cards, I certainly hope it's not another adventure.
GvG was "only" 30 days between announcement and release. I suppose they've changed their approach afterwards (cards teases on twitter/facebook).
Blizzard is too afraid to give Druids good stuff because cards like Innervate/Wild Growth exists for them.

Oh people didn't like his commentary.
I don't know man I enjoyed it for all the real talk. So many shots fired.
Anyway here's a thread where people said he was the best commentator a while back.
Edit: I see that the main problem is that he said the word "rape". Yeah that's definitely not cool.

In what context exactly?
"Swipe rapes you" or something like that.
Reynad's stream right now:
"Keeper is bad. Wrath is so bad. Swipe is OK I guess"
And he's playing 2 Souls of the forest.

Warlock's hero power also gets better over time, but they still received at least something. They could add viable spells, cards that encourage new archetype like grim patron did, at this point I would even be down with beast synergy. Tree of life and recycle is straight up trolling, unless they seriously wanted mill druid to became a thing.
Tree of Life is amazing in Mill/Fatigue Druid though. That card is pretty cool as well.
Yeah I am all for Druid getting some new cards that would allow a new archetype. There's only one Druid and that's Combo Druid. There aren't enough good control options for a Druid to play a proper control Druid.
Yup I love druid. Hopefully Blizzard gives some tools to make token druid viable. I really liked that deck when it was nearly competitive.
