Six new heroes have been datamined in today's Hearthstone patch.
- Hunter - Warsong Rexxar
- Mage - Scholar Jaina
- Paladin - Second War Uther
- Paladin - Horseman Uther
- Warrior - Nagrand Garrosh
- Warrior - Annhylde
They cannot be rendered but they have data that supports their inclusion as collectible heroes in the future. Will this be like Celeste and we won't see anything? Time will tell!
Who is Annhylde?
Annhylde is an Undead Val'kyr in World of Warcraft that is a part of the Utgarde Keep dungeon. This dungeon is found in Northrend.

Possibly sounds like specific tavern brawl portraits.
I really doubt these are going to be buyable heroes, apart from Annhylde. Those names are similar to those 1000 portrait heroes.. Maybe new achievements? One can hope.. Annhylde sounds more like a new hero to me. But still no rogue? Weird..
Regarding the long anticipated rogue hero, my current best guess at the Scholomance solo content is that we will follow Lilian Voss infiltrating the school and revealing its dark secrets, and that there will be a Lilian hero portrait to go along with it like there was for Aranna. My flimsy evidence:
I have no doubt that in 2 months I'll be proven completely wrong, but this narrative makes so much sense to me.
I'm really down for this, hopefully this theory becomes true. Premise-wise, it makes good sense. Plus, her armor does look pretty sick.
Which armour are you referring to? Her scarlet crusade clothes in Infiltrator Lilian, or her more usual, darker armour in the Forsaken Lilian token and the old Lilian Voss card? Or both?
If we do get her as a hero, I'd expect to see her in her standard forsaken appearance. I wouldn't put it past Team 5 to use a living version of her, but it would be a misuse of the character that is synonymous with the personal and emotional struggles of being brought back into undeath.
Kinda realized I should've clarified that a while later after I had logged off but yeah, I am referring to her forsaken appearance.
I definitely expect the hero portrait to be her undead self too, it sure feels more flavorful rather than her living self which is rather quite plain.
Sounds convincing enough to me, but as you said, Team 5's thought process can be completely unpredictable at times so speculation can only go so far.
Most of these Names seem like they're something like the 1000 Win Portaits. Could they be connected to the Level-Revamp the Devs are planning?
Because we need more mage and Paladin skins. Seriously, do they just not bother with other class skins anymore? Rogue has two skins. Mage has what 4-5? Paladin has 4 I think? Come on blizz.
dont get me wrong more skins are good but the classes with the most skins don’t need to get more before others
Lol I know right? I don't even use the 1000 win portrait because it seemed too goofy to me
This is good. Honestly, I was hoping that any new Hero Skins relate more to the races that are "neglected". I'm completely ecstatic that I have Kel'thuzad as a Mage Hero Skin. He's been my favorite character for a long time and I am looking forward to having Fire Mage Jaina added to my Hero Skins.
With that being said, I'd like to see more Forsaken in the mix. Pandas, Worgen, and especially Goblins have been a part of WoW for a long time and are on a ton of cards... so why can we not also have a Forsaken Warlock or a Panda Warrior? Just my two cents is all.
About time we get a female Warrior skin.
BUt what do those Hero alternates mean? Doesn't really sound like paid skins
I hope it is about achievement system and we get achievements someday soon.
I believe achievements in the game was something they mentioned as a feature coming this year, but can't remember if it was 2nd or 3rd expansion cycle. Might make sense to add it along with the new game mode, which is supposed to debut this expansion cycle.
