Recruit

With this expansion a new mechanic called Recruit was introduced. This keyword will summon a random minion from your deck, often with particular criteria you might build a deck around.

Spellstones

These are a new sort of spell. When you satisfy a spellstone's requirements while holding it, it will upgrade to a more powerful version. This can happen a total of two times. One was released for each class:

Unidentified Items

Cards that are Unidentified say so in their name, and all have a base effect. When drawn, they randomly gain one of multiple bonuses. Only three such cards were released:

Legendary Weapons

This is the first expansion to grace us with Legendary weapons. Each has a unique effect and stat distribution. One weapon for each class, even those that have never had one!

Dungeon Run
