Reimagining the evil school of necromancy founded by the Cult of the Damned (and based on an existing real-world legend) as a more classic American college, just with, you know, a secretly evil necromancer as the headmaster (which I'm pretty sure conflicts with the lore, but it's Hearthstone, which is canonically non-canon) the new expansion looks to be adding some exciting new mechanics.
Probably the most interesting of these is dual-class cards - I suspect these work like the three gangs from Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, but there's an emphasis on giving classes access to mechanics of the other class - for example, there's a creature with a Combo effect that grants you a random Mage card.
I don't think we're going to see anything as revolutionary as a whole new class like we got in Ashes of Outland, but as usual, the aesthetic and vibe looks fun (and also as usual, the Hearthstone team did a great job of showing the expansion off in a new video, even when they have to do so via video chat.)
