Upcoming Twitch Promotions - Twitch Prime?

There are two card backs flagged for special promotions. Their names are Twitch1 and Twitch2. We've previously seen Twitch promotions with Hearthstone via Tyrande which was obtained from Twitch Prime. Back in June, Twitch did state their would be more rewards for Hearthstone players from the service.

Quote from HearthPwn Call of the Void Card_Back_Twitch1

A card back unleashed from the realm of infinite darkness. Looks wicked rad under a blacklight. Call of the Light Card_Back_Twitch2

A card back called forth from the realm of undying light. Gives hope to all mankind (except your opponent.)

Pirates Day Event

Strings indicate that we're getting a new in-game event for Pirates Day. Likely to be held on International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
