No Dragons In Saviors of Uldum!?

This is supposedly the second expansion of The Year of the Dragon.  So what the heck!?  No dragons!

I keep hearing people say this. So what ? How many mammoths did we have in the year of the mammoth ? And how many ravens in year of the raven ? When will you guys understand the name of the year is not related to the theme of its expansions...... It is literally only the zodiac sign of this years hearthstone rotation. It could be anything man. Year of the dragon just sounds a lot cooler than idk, year of the worm ? 

As a hater of a dragon archetype and its synergies (If you have a dragon in your hand, do something bonkers). I appreciate that it's not going to be a year full of dragons, or I'll go nuts.

Well, mammoths and ravens aren't Hearthstone tribes; but dragons are.

Dragons had their time to shine. Let's make room for a new tribe! 

Maybe next expansion will be a Deathwing centered one and then we'll have plenty of dragons I reckon. All speculation obviously.

Year of the Mammoth was actually spot-on. It was full of huge things (dinosaurs for example), it was mostly a control meta and there was a mammoth card in it.

lol, we already argued it in Hearthpwn in Rise of Shadows reveals.

It is not about other years. They said that all the Year of the Dragon has the same theme. So People expect to see some dragons.

Also in Year of the Kraken - Kraken word was a reference to Old Gods and it was only for 1 expansion. They didn't say it will be the theme of the whole year.

Year of the Mammoth - Mammoth was a reference to Primordial Beasts/creatures, We saw a lot and they also didn't say it will be the theme of the whole year.

Year of the Raven - Raven was a reference to Witches, That expansion's theme is all about Witches and even Hagatha was enough to theme around; They also didn't say it will be the theme of the whole year.


When you say "the theme will be the same in all expansions this year", People expect to see related things to the name of the year. They didn't expect to see E.V.I.L in all expansions. They chose between E.V.I.L. and Dragons and they chose E.V.I.L. part. It appeared that "All year's theme" is E.V.I.L.

In my opinion, They should have named this year after Arch-Villain Rafaam, not Dragons but I know that I will end up wrong after we saw last expansion because it probably will be related to Deathwing and we all will say "OH, RIGHT! This is really year of the Dragons."

Look those good guys, Hunter(Alexstrasza), Druid(Ysera), Mage(Malygos), Paladin(Nozdormu). We might see Deathwing coming and Dragon Aspects fighting with them, maybe !?

The name of the year has nothing to do with the expansions in it.. it was like this since the rotation started, if there's a relation it's quite vague it was the most connected on the year of the kraken (WOTOG-> tentacles, MSOG-> pirates-> sea-> kraken stories) , so.. this doesn't mean anything this is just a name.

no it will mean, You will see. Because Team 5 said that it will mean. Because they said that the whole year is around same theme. The theme seems E.V.I.L. and its plans but it will change at last expansion in my opinion with Deathwing's come.

And I think they will design years like this year in future. one theme for 3 expansions. Like how MTG does and succeed. This also binds people to theme. It is nice for players and the company both.

Yes, the year is about same theme. And that theme is Villains and Heroes. Which is during the Year incidentally called Dragon Year
