Big Announcement Teased for July 22nd

Well, the hype train for new Hearthstone content is officially running as we now have a teaser of a teaser that we’ll get on July 22nd.
PCGamer has received a little announcement in the mail along with some fanfare that played as they opened it. From the fanfare to the scroll announcement, it reminds me quite a bit of the Argent Tournament we saw in Wrath of the Lich King.
The announcement states:
Champions are gathering from around the world to witness the next exciting thing Hearthstone has in store. News travels far and wide in search of brave new faces ready to answer the call to arms — Are you one of them? Muster for battle and mark July 22 on your calendar. The next bit of news won’t come by carrier pigeon — thankfully, we have much better ways of communication now. Victory awaits.”
This is very similar to the Goblins vs. Gnomes teaser that we received back before BlizzCon where we got blueprints of various mechs. Since the Hearthstone team really doesn’t mess around with their announcements and releases, I would expect to see a major card expansion for Hearthstone coming in August.
There’s a small chance this could lead to the much requested in game tournament mode, but I think the card expansion is much more likely with this kind of announcement/teaser.
I would also like to point out it once again mentions ” new faces” so I am wondering if there will be new heroes AS WELL for some of the classes that don’t have them yet
It adds “are you one of them”. This leads me to think that this isn’t necessarily new cards.
New hero skins might get revealed with it, but there is absolutely no way that is the only announcement. It will be some sort of card expansion.
