Thanks to RDU snooping around on the Descent of Dragons client, we've got some crazy news!
Sylvanas Windrunner appears to be a new Hunter hero coming to Hearthstone in the future. We don't know exactly when she will arrive, though we do know that we're getting some information on the return of Tyrande today, December 5. Could they be related in some way? Either way, Sylvanas is looking something fierce and it should be nice to see her permanent return to play outside of Wild, even if it will only be to mock your opponents.
Would you make Sylvanas your favourite Hunter hero? What kind of themed decks would you play with her?

I hope they do it right this time around and actually give special voice lines
My disappointment with Arthas will never be forgotten
For the Dark Lady
Glory to the Forsaken
Until this moment I thought there was no way any other hunters hero portrait could replace rexxar. I have been proven wrong.
I just want Sylvanas to have a neat opening one liner between her and Alleria.
but hey, I doubt we'll get it.
Come on Undead Tribe! I’d even settle for just an undead Forsaken Tribe, so they can pick and choose which Undead get the tribe, make it easier to balance.
I have never understood the desire for an undead tribe, especially when there is already an implicit association between undead and deathrattle (this has been diluted over time but certainly in Naxx people would have linked the two).
So, as a completely sincere question, what exactly do you want the tribe for and how would you want it to work?
Great question, I’m honestly just a big fan of the tribes mechanic and what it adds to deck building for the game. When the Elemental tribe became a thing, I thought it really rejuvenated a deck building style that had long been dead. Now they’ve buffed the mech pool again, and finally, they’re adding to the pirates and dragon pools. But there’s so many cards that could be undead, or Foresaken Tribe that it only further lends to how big of an effect it could have on deck building. With Elementals this change was huge because they went back and added it to older cards like Ragnaros as well
I see, and certainly appreciate how adding mech and elemental opened up more possibilities for underused existing cards.
The tricky part is finding a mechanic that distinguishes it from other tribes. I guess for forsaken you could play off their ability to replace body parts and have a passive effect where friendly forsaken minions dying heals damaged friendly forsaken minions. That would open up an archetype that plays very differently to anything else.
I already own Alleria but I would 100% buy Sylvanas too.
I've never bought a hero portrait but I will 100% buy a Sylvanas portrait
After we got that creepy-ass tree, we needed this.
Yes!!!
Found the rotating héroes post
Deathrattle Hunter, as "I have no time for games"!
Here's a suggestion: Everyone gets Tyrande for free.
And everyone who already got Tyrande gets Silvanas as sort of compensation.
:D
We can only dream, friend. We can only dream. Or they're just going to switch it up and make Sylvanas the pack special and put Lady Tree as a free hero, since nobody seems to like her lo
Since some email from Blizz mentioned the hero shop rotating after the sale I expect to see her there. Although as some others say she might come from shadowlands instead of a card back like they've done before
Not that I'm complaining but if she turns out to be hunter, in what way does a banshee queen represent a hunter?
Should a banshee queen be rather paladin
A bow?
