Mine Cart Rush is a boss encounter found in the League of Explorers adventure. It is the second boss of the adventure's second wing, Uldaman.

Like  Temple Escape, Mine Cart Rush is an escape encounter. The opposing hero is Immune and does not have a Health count. Rather than defeating the hero, to win this match you must survive until the "turns to escape" count reaches 0. The boss has a deck, but does not play cards or draw cards at the start of the turn. The boss uses its Hero Power  Flee the Mine! at the start of every turn to summon minions. The "turns to escape" count goes down at the end of the boss' turn.

Additionally, the player does not choose a deck or control one of the usual heroes. Instead, the player's hero is the Mine Cart, their Hero Power is  Throw Rocks, they are locked at two Mana Crystals, and they use a pre-made deck of 1-mana cards.
