    That is freakin' cool! My only complaint is that the deck-building thought-process seems a little obvious: you're gonna run Artificer Xy'mox, and you're gonna run Jace Darkweaver. That leaves just one minion as a flex.

    The Spell DH suddenly looks like a real deck with this! The only real downside when pairing with the Relic package from Nathria is that you can't discount the minions with Dimensions.

    One of the most interesting cards to have come out of this expansion. The deck doesn't even need to be good, people will play this purely because of this card alone.

    Because what this does is essentially give you three copies of a minion, plus some flex options against other archetypes like aggro. Imagine multiple copies of Jace Darkweaver in an all spell deck, that's just insane.

    Of course, to do so you'll have to play an all spell deck + 3 minions that'll be gone at the start of the game. Which will account for why there's so many more spells for dhunter this time round. Probably try it myself day 1.

     

    Edit: Seems like multiple copies of the same minion is actually not possible, as confirmed by cestetalon via tweet. And there goes all my interest in this deck.

    Okay, so I see we have to draw the 1-manas, then they are added to hand.

    If there were any interesting DH minions for hand, this would be cool.

    Again with the irrational wording. What souls? People who don't watch the videos surely getting confused with all the new wording.

    Why not just use common words easier to understand? SMH

    I really want to make a Lady S'theno OTK viable and this weapon looks quite fun to try that. It may end up being too inconsistent though as you'd need to draw the Bound Soul spells. If that doesn't work then well, it's back to Jace fel shenanigans then and that's boring. 

    Also this spells only DH actually negatively dissuaded you from running Renathal.

    10/10 design.

    Whether it's good enough to see play is a different story.

    Right now one of the most powerful things Relic DH can do is discount Xy'Mox, Brann or JAce with relic of Dimensions. You can never do this in a Spell DH, meaning you have to rely on your Spell-only payoff cards to carry you, which might be enough, but I can't say for sure.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Hands down the coolest new design from this expansion, and as I still have a couple hundreds ranked win to grind with DH (for portrait purposes), a see this new addition to its arsenal as a great news! 

    Would you like those souls for here or to-go?

    I'm guessing the second soul discovers two minions that you didn't pick from the first soul, and the third just gives you the remaining minion. If that is the case, I hope the discover costs 0, though perhaps being able to pick what you want is worth a little extra. The wording makes me think the souls are added to your hand at the start of the game, but what actually happens? Either way, this could be quite a powerful card.

    Must-include in any Spell DH deck. Without this card the Spell DH deck is just horrible. Thanks to Souleater's Scythe you can run cards like Sire Denathrius, Jace Darkweaver and Artificer Xy'mox. And honestly those 3 seems really good, but Lady S'theno and maybe disruption like Theotar, the Mad Duke also seem interesting. Honestly it's going to be quite interesting to see which card will make the cut in the "optimal" Spell DH deck, or if there will be multiple succesful versions of Spell DH.

    Oh and in Wild, obviously Yogg-Saron, Hope's End and Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate are *obvious* must-includes in Wild Spell DH. :)

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    Unless there is going to be a hard counter to the summons outside of Counterspell or Blademaster Okani, this is going to be wonderful
