New Set Information
Card Reveal Schedule (Week 2)
New Mechanic - Recruit: Cards with the Recruit keyword immediately summon minions from your deck and put them into play. Some cards recruit minions that match certain conditions; others recruit randomly chosen minions.
New Game Mode - Dungeon Run: Completely free single-player game mode that simulates the experience of dungeon crawling. When your Dungeon Run starts, you’ll choose a Hero and receive a starting deck consisting of 10 cards. You’ll use it to overcome eight encounters of increasing difficulty (chosen randomly from a huge pool of 48 possible encounters!) to clear the run. Each time you defeat a Dungeon Run encounter, you’ll be given an opportunity to “level up” your Dungeon Run deck with themed sets of three cards appropriate to your class. Occasionally, you’ll also be able to pick from a selection of three incredibly powerful Treasure cards —non-collectible cards and abilities made just for this mode that are too blatantly overpowered to see normal play. When you lose, your Dungeon Run is finished, you're deck is thrown out and you restart all the way from the beginning. Complete a full Dungeon Run with each of the nine Classes to obtain the Candle King card back.
9 New Legendary Weapons; One for each class (even classes that have never had a weapon before!). EVERYONE is getting one random Legendary weapon for FREE as part of the set release.
New Spellstones; One for each class. Every Spellstone card has a specific trigger condition; each time you fulfill that condition while a Spellstone is in your hand, the Spellstone becomes more powerful. Spellstones can be upgraded twice for a total of 3 different variations. For an example and more details on the exact mechanics, check out Mike's comment here!
