It's unknown exactly how the holiday will develop on this side, now that Sylvanas has abandoned the Horde and appears to be trying to force everyone into hell. We'll just have to see in Shadowlands, I guess.
I think Calia Menethil will be the Forsaken's new leader. They've been building her up as the moral version of Sylvanas since Legion. It would also be a nice bookend to have the throne of Lordaeron be claimed by a Menethil.
At least I hope they do that, and not something stupid like stick Lillian Voss in that role because she's popular. She also apparently is acting as the interim leader of the Forsaken right now, which is already too much.
I'm hoping for a race-focused expansion, because it's been quite a while since we've had one. I tend to prefer location ones, but we've had four of those in a row. Also, that opens up fun Demon Hunter cards like I said.
Also, I'd like it if the next expansion was not named X of Y. Four of the last five card sets were named X of Y, and Galakrond's Awakening barely counts as an expansion.
I would go with the Shimmering Flats/Mirage Raceway in the Thousand Needles. You can have fun goblin and gnome karts (and other races), plus general Thousand Needle stuff like tauren and centaur that haven't been explored too much in Hearthstone yet.
Azshara Raceway has the problem of being too similar to GvG (there's not much distinguishing Azshara from other zones other than 'goblins live there') and Darkmoon Faire is probably going to be the third expansion this year.
The Pandaria one works too, but... I just like the Thousand Needles more.
I don't think the Cost or Twinspell are the problems I think the reason the card feels so busted right now is because of the ridiculously small pool of cards in Giants' mana slot... Add just 1 good battlecry minion that has really shitty stats (like 3/3 or 4/4) at 10 and 12 mana and the card won't feel nearly as broken as before...
You can dilute the pool, but that's not going to fix how big of a problem it is in Arena. If you stick this on an 8 or 9 cost minion, that's like GG. Not to mention how common it is to get Khadgar from Messenger Raven.
Really, I wouldn't mind nuking this card from orbit. It would still see plenty of play in Constructed at 5 mana, but would make it a little bit more balanced in Arena. If you combine that with some bad 12 and 10 drops, I think Conjurer's Calling would be fair.

Void Elves. They could be cool. That opens up opportunity for Void Elf demon hunters, and void demons in general.
