Some ideas that came from the community prior to the announcement, and which the developer has not completely ruled out, include:

  • Pirates vs Ninjas
  • Tauren vs Worgen
  • Lich King vs Battle Pets

But none of those are currently planned.

The expansion will also include a new map, shown below. As new cards are revealed, we'll add them to this story!
