Honestly, I am less likely to pick up a box just because "it's a hero I dig" than I am to pick up a box because there's a cool mini, amazing art, and most importantly - unique card interactions.
"Pick up" is more or less literal in this context (hence "you first have to get someone to pick up a box before they'll buy it") -- what gets a typical buyer to bother looking at a game and decide whether it's something they'd consider playing it. In most cases that's a graphic design/art/marketing challenge; stuff like card interactions won't play into it at all.
That said, I'm definitely in favor of more obscure (or rather, more diverse and unpredictable) picks and think Yennenga is a step in the right direction. (I'm also going to keep banging on the "ladies' night sets" drum for, I assume, the duration of the series.)
