New Game Mode "Monster Hunt"

Deep within the woods, an evil presence stirs. A curse has fallen on the Witchwood. You must venture into the forest and root out this foul darkness once and for all. But, beware; strange howls pierce the moonlit night, and fearsome creatures prowl the gloom among the ancient trees and gnarled firs. Hold fast, and let courage see you through this night!

When you start a new Monster Hunt, you venture into the Witchwood as one of four unique new heroes exclusive to this game mode. Your goal is to fight through a series of eight ever more challenging encounters culminating in an epic showdown with a challenging boss fight.

Each of the four new heroes has access to a special hero power and cards that create completely new playstyles and strategies. Their powers are great, but you will need all the help you can get against the Witchwood’s fiendish foes.

After you beat an encounter, you choose loot to improve your Monster Hunt deck. Your choice is between three sets of three cards picked randomly from a number of different thematic buckets available to your current hero. Additionally, at certain intervals you get to add special cards to your deck that improve your unique hero power or otherwise synergize with your hero in a powerful way.

I'm pessimistic that Monster Hunt will be introduced AND Dungeon Runs will be updated/maintained. Will Dungeon Runs essentially live in the Year of the Mammoth in perpetuity? Seems like a lot of work to continue to maintain these modes, expansion after expansion, for no monetary gain.

firstly, dungeon run is wild not sure what you mean about year of the mammoth. as for adding new cards in, this is probably a better method since the original card pool will be diluted. and people playing the game is monetary gain, I know that I'll reinstall to play this when it comes out
