Another card that works well in all spells deck, but not pushing any envelopes.
Its as though as team5 were well aware that Souleater's Scythe is the only reason for running an all spell deck at all, and so designed these other spell cards to be so mild. I mean, draw one deal 3 to a minion? That's worth 2 mana but it would be played only because you're running an all spell deck and there's really not many good spells around to replace this card.
The 1 mana is a downside, sure, but I think a Bound Soul is a less appealing target for Theotar, et alia, and this increases the chance you actually get to play that minion.
However, I assume the Infuse minions, like Xymox and the Sire (both mentioned above) won't infuse while they are bound souls.
Probably wont see play outside of all spells. Its actually strange design, because you'd argue that even in an all spell deck its just a decent card that does what needs to be done and nothing more. Its flanking maneuver, but strangely can only ever exist in one deck.
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.
As a stand alone card, this probably would be a 3 star, only barely better than Flanking Maneuver. But combined with Kurtrus, Demon-Render, this basically turns into a Pyroblast swing.
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.
That being said, what're you gonna run? It specifies "different minions", so it sounds like they can't be two of the same; meaning, realistically, that they'll be Legendaries. So....Artificer Xy'mox, Jace Darkweaver, and maybe Felerin, the Forgotten? Kind of bummed that the first two are so obvious that they undermine the deck-building a little.
They are really interested in promoting the new class, all the legendaries are horrible!! I don't think I'll buy anything!! If I don't pre-order anything, the game will give me 2/3 of the new class cards for free!! This Blizzard management to promote the new class is a shot in the foot! TNSC!!
How does it allow you to run 3 copies? It was explained that once a minion is selected, its soul is freed and can no longer be discovered from future bound soul spells?
I was concerned at first about no minion dhunter, but seems like team5 have opted to do it in one of the most unusual manners, and this might actually work out to be tier 2.
So you create a deck with three good minions, and you're good with the no minion deck. The problem here being only that the payoff for having no minions seemed incredibly weak, but honestly I think the real reason why'd you be doing it is because Souleater's Scythe gives you three copies of a minion.
Have to say that Im interested enough that I'll give the deck a chance regardless of whether it sucks or not.
Edit: Apparently you can only get one copy of the minions eaten, confirmed by celestalon. Oh well, the makes the card very much less interesting. Even worse still you play 1 mana to get them back to your hand.
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.
To be fair, (nearly) no-minion deck building is pretty linear no matter what you do with it simply due to the very limited card pool. It would be kind hard to avoid using lots of fel and Relic spells. What else could you really do with DH spells?
Well that's a safe craft if ever I saw one. There's just no way it doesn't see play, on pure flexibility alone.
So many things, from draw to damage, the design may be lazy as hell but if you can get a third copy of any spell in the game you'd put it in your deck.
Paying mana to discover minions you would normally have drawn for free is a downside, and a 4 mana 4/2 weapon is fine but not something you'd choose to put in a deck normally.
Deal with a Devil looked like hopeless garbage, even with the tease that no-minion support would be on its way. How could the DH ever function without any included minions, in this day and age? But that Scythe might really be all it takes, and I'm here for it!
That being said, what're you gonna run? It specifies "different minions", so it sounds like they can't be two of the same; meaning, realistically, that they'll be Legendaries. So....Artificer Xy'mox, Jace Darkweaver, and maybe Felerin, the Forgotten? Kind of bummed that the first two are so obvious that they undermine the deck-building a little.
The Scythe is certainly a very neat way to make no-minion deck construction significantly more interesting. Being able to choose which order to draw the 3 minions in is also generally useful, even when you won't know which 3 minions get scythed, so I wonder if it finds a place in normal decks too. That will depend on how much the 3 mana tax to release the minions matters, and whether a plain 4 mana 4/2 weapon is good enough when you draw it.
What detriment? You basically either increase by 50% or triple the consistency of the first card you Discover with your soul. and 4/2 for 4 is basic for a weapon. That thing has no downsides.
Edit: Right, you need to pay 1 mana to get the cards back. Small downside, but it’s there.

Outside of all spells, this card is useless.

It’s not exactly 3 copies you can play, but in terms of finding the card, it’s like running 3. Not sure if I’m making myself clear.
Basically, it improves the consistency of finding the cards without increasing the number you can play.

You have to pay 1-mana to get the card you want and you can't discount them with Relic of Dimensions anymore
