We need a dark themed expansion this time

It's exactly 5 expansions after Witch Wood, when we have last seen darker themed expansion and personally for me, I would really welcome something like Knights of the Frozen Throne/Naxx with dark background/context as a new expansion, maybe also something refreshing like adding a new tribe - Undead, etc in that expansion would be awesome. (Just like in Un'Goro)

What are your thoughts guys?

    It’s a little disappointing that the devs see the potential for dual tribes and think “whatever idea would cause this simply can’t happen then, because dual tribes are not a part of hearthstone”, rather than “this idea would result in dual tribes - this is not currently a part of hearthstone but we will enjoy coming up with a fun, balanced and creative way of implementing this new mechanic and then appraising whether or not we think it’s correct to go ahead and implement it”.

    The latter approach is exactly how we would approach designing dual-tribe minions. I'm not sure where the narrative for the former approach comes from. There are a bunch of unanswered questions when it comes to having minions with more than one tribe/type, but it sounds like an interesting design challenge. If there was ever a set that made sense thematically for it, it sounds like something we would investigate.
