This thread informed me of Innkeeper, thank you!  It also drug me out of my epic fly on the wall status.  I can't match you, but here is mine.

This reminds me of the community going ape-nuts over Rebuke

Almost 40% meta-defining, Ha!  Oh, and Rebuke is a better card than this one.

Cards that are only good when very specific situations come up aren't good, unless they have a huge swing effect when triggered.  This card requires a very *very* specific situation.  People always think "Wow, if I played this card in X situation, it'd be awesome", and then never think about how often X situation ever occurs.

TL:DR - Give people a reason to keep coming back to Dungeon Run by hiding packs in various in-game places, one of which would be Dungeon Run mode.

Ok, so first off this is NOT intended to be another thread about how we all want more free stuff...

However, I think that with just a tiny bit of extra giveaway content, Blizzard could simultaneously fix the problem of replayability on Dungeon Runs and people wanting a little more generosity from them. So my thought was... Introduce a weekly Treasure Hunt!

Here's what I was thinking:

• Each week, a treasure chest is hidden somewhere within the game client (randomly, different for each player and different each week)
• There would be a fixed set of different locations it could be hidden, for example:
  • Standard ranked
  • Standard casual
  • Wild ranked
  • Wild casual
  • Dungeon Run
• In order to find the treasure, you would have to win a game (or complete a run) in the mode in question.
• You might happen to find it in the first mode you play that week, or you might have to check all of them before finding it in the last one you try. So with the example list above, on average you'd have to win 2.5 games/runs to find your treasure each week.
• They could help you keep track of where you've looked by adding a small 'treasure map' to the home screen, which when clicked shows you a map of all the different possible hiding places, with the checked ones crossed off.
• Once you find the chest, pop it open (I'm thinking similar to when you open your end of season ranked play chest) to claim your loot!
• Loot could be 1 Kobolds & Catacombs pack, plus a random 1-2 other small prizes at random (15 gold/5 dust/1 common card).

And here's why I think it could genuinely work:

1. It's thematic! Fits in well with the flavour of Kobolds and Catacombs.
2. Time limited - if Blizzard is worried about giving away too much free stuff, they could just run this for the duration of KaC (for thematic consistency), and bin it when the next expansion hits.
3. By making Dungeon Run one of the potential hiding places, people will have a reason to keep going back to it.
4. Encourages people to use the different game modes.
5. At a little over 1 pack a week, hopefully not such a big reward that people would feel they had to go searching for it if they didn't want to.

They could even get more creative with the hiding places - maybe some weeks you'd have to build a new deck to get the treasure, or win a game against the innkeeper (snore), or even browse the store (<<nudge >> spend some money while you're here?<<nudge>>).

Of course I don't think there's any chance of this happening, but I had fun thinking it up - and I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts!
