I've been having a rough time with M:tG for various reasons lately (moving to a new, less competitive EDH area, being too pigheaded to change my decklists to play weaker cards, not getting along well with a (small, but annoying) handful of people who are "That Guy" in EDH, not being too great at any other format but EDH, I could go on) and I've been starting to get my CCG fix from Hearthstone of all places.
I would like to join a forum for Hearthstone other than the official forums (Which while helpful, does get a bit old with the "Nerf Card X" threads every day), I also don't really want to leave the MTGSalvation community behind even though I'm not really playing Magic all that much anymore. I'm not going to brown nose anyone, but I'm also not going to lie when I say that this has been one of the best, actually FIGURE-CRAP-OUT-about-the-game communities I've been in for a hobby.
I suppose I'll cut to the chase, what are the odds of MTGS branching out and having a small forum section devoted to Hearthstone? It wouldn't need much; a main forum and then two subsections, one for Standard and one for Wild (Legacy, though currently it plays more like Modern). I know it's technically a video game with no real life variant, but it's probably the second biggest CCG out there, even if it is in Video Game format.
Not going to lie, I know it's a selfish request ("Hey, one poster is playing a different game, and he wants us to do a ton of work to support that game"), but I'd be lying if I didn't think it would bring in a ton of extra traffic to the site as well. Though I suppose if there's no YuGiOh forums the chances are pretty slim

Oath of the Gatewatch; the set that caused the competitive community to freak out over Basic Lands.

HearthPwn is a sister site for us that is all about Hearthstone. It's got a huge community base, very active, and it's forums are much like ours. I don't play myself, but I know there's a small base that come here and there. In fact, if you click in, you'll see your account even ports over automatically.
We don't have enough interest to try and double dip and have a subforum here for it too.
The Hearthstone thread we have is active, but not nearly enough to justify expansion.
So basically, my advice is just to go get your pwn on.
