Speculation: the Kabal is returning?
Well, here's some speculation i find spicy enough (hopefully it hasn't been already discussed).
Do you remember the Red Mana, the mysterious and corrupting source of the Kabal, led by
And also, look at
who makes corrupting tatooes for new Kabal members.
Now, look at our new beloved Genie:
Notice anything strange for an (air) Elemental, yet familiar? The red lights and signs on his skin? As well as the Highlander mechanic?
Finally, do you remember all the speculations, fueled by the very Gadgetzan teasers and concept artworks, of Kazakus being a Dragon? Well, this is Year of the Dragon (which is itself built upon revamped characters and themes)!
And as if all this was not enough, there we go with another Dragon-character with suspicious Red lightnings/mana:

Nice catch!
Nice catch OP, my inner nerd loves such details. Would be nice to see Kazakus in dragon form and as a Highlander card. (maybe something like "hatch a dragon?"). Having said all that, I think there is like 0% chance of this happening, but let the nerd dream.

Great theory, but it’s most likely just left over art from other expansions
Twitch for those of you who care.
My theory is actually card-art-based.
The Dragon part is an extra, but more Dragon characters fulfill the red-light criterion:
Also, the whole Year of the Dragon is built upon revamped leftovers and old themes.
Sure, all this is no final proof ofc, but it's pretty solid per se.
I find it funny that the year of the dragon has been woefully lacking in Dragons. The only one of notable importance has been Brightwing, and that was just a Classic addition re-fill for old Hall of Famed cards.

Man, we really do need another dragon expansion though

The first time I've seen Zephyr gave me first thought was why does he have red color scheme around him? Like his orbs and his eyes color... After I saw your post, it started to make real sense now. It could be a coincidence, but it makes sense that Blizzard would choose it as a color theme of highlanders (Even Reno wasn't part of Kazakus).
Now I won't be confused forever when I see Zephyr with the awful color choice again, thanks a lot OP!
