Nice for popping annoying Divine Shields. But still think that each Relic is pretty weak on it's first use. Least it downgrades the value of random card generation. I'd say this spell only really gets good after you've cast 2 Relics to boost Relic of Extinction to 3 damage.
I'm assuming it'll be the same effect as Ghastly Gravedigger where you have a choice of 3 cards from your hand. It'll definitely suck if you're not given the option you want, but it's still 2 mana for 4/4 stats so it'll probably be worth it in a hyper aggressive DH. Most times, you're likely to have 4 or less cards in hand if you're playing aggro anyway.
If this summoned multiple 1/1s with each Relic use, that would be pretty great for any Infuse dependent deck. If the stats change and it will always summon 2 bodies, then not so much. At 3 mana, this is also the worst Relic out of the 3. Wouldn't want to play this spell as my first Relic in a game.
Am I the only one that not find where those Husk belongs to?? I see that they are tokens but generated by who?? I checked last articles of this expansion but unable to find it :(
So the best relic without a doubt is Relic of Dimensions but would you really want to wait till turn 5 to use a charge of Relic Vault? If yes and it's actually playable, then this Relic DH archetype looks quite slow, which is nice for a change. But I guess it would be 5 mana to draw 4 cards and probably with a 2 or higher mana discount.
In short: Relic Vault will see play if the whole Relic archetype sees play.
So this is Skull of Gul'dan 2.0? Except instead of drawing 3 cards for a discount of 3 mana, we draw 2 cards for an ever increasing mana reduction. I'm quite glad this draw engine is restricted within a specific package, so randomly generating this card will be weaker in other classes.
Well... this is one way to bring Deathrattle DH back into the meta. Even if you don't manage to summon this guy off Razorfen Beastmaster or Death Speaker Blackthorn, most times you're only discarding 2 or 3 cards coz the deck does play quite fast and aggressive.
This could be good considering all the Relics have improved effects after each use. By 8 mana, you've probably already used 2 Relic Vaults on different Relics already.
Very similar to Jace Darkweaver where you've probably won the game if you managed to infuse Xymox and have already cast a bunch of Relics.
Edit: Also, DH will probably be the easier class to Infuse due to all the 1/1 rush Illidari... in wild seeing as Standard only has Coordinated Strike
Well , most druid spells aren't that bad even with random targets. The worst outcome could be that the opponent minions get buffed with certain cards - but most spells should be decent enough that this could see play. Not sure drud will need it tough.
There is a decent chance we get more small rush minions released for Hunter. So it's possible we'll be able to achieve the Infuse(8) reliably. Also possible there's a neutral "Draw an Infuse minion" minion that can help us draw these cards to be even more reliable.
I love the Totem Support even tough this one seems kinda weak. Sure you can play the Flood the Board Plan and this helps you with that but that's kinda it. Maybe if you buffed it up with the New Legendary for Totems etc ...
Sureley will mess around with Totem Shaman because i always thought it is kinda fun :)
Not quite. There are beings native to the Shadowlands that didn't get there after a mortal life. Denathrius was created along with the other Covenant leaders, and he himself created the venthyr like Renathal, so some, if not all the vampires are natives. There are natives from other zones too, such as Stewart the Steward.
That said, lots of the characters will have died at some point, yes, and I presume that includes Murloc Holmes. If he was himself murdered, I hope he at least managed to work out the killer.
This seems a little underwhelming .... i do not see the Infuse happen that often in Priest and therefor i do not see this beeing played in standard. Maybe if the Meta becomes hyper aggro you could pay this for early removal but thats the only way i see this working.
We're all in the Shadowlands here, so they're not Undead from this point of view. They're dead, but they're not UNdead, because they're not alive again.
So we can assume every character/minion released in this expansion died. Even Murloc Holmes! HTF did he die?!
And the whole expansion is based around the murder of an already dead vampire, well...
New Demon Hunter Spell - Relic of Extinction

New Demon Hunter Minion - Bibliomite
I'm assuming it'll be the same effect as Ghastly Gravedigger where you have a choice of 3 cards from your hand. It'll definitely suck if you're not given the option you want, but it's still 2 mana for 4/4 stats so it'll probably be worth it in a hyper aggressive DH. Most times, you're likely to have 4 or less cards in hand if you're playing aggro anyway.
New Demon Hunter Weapon - Magnifying Glaive
Guess this pairs nicely with Bibliomite for your standard hyper aggressive DH that we all know and hate.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Relic of Phantasms
If this summoned multiple 1/1s with each Relic use, that would be pretty great for any Infuse dependent deck. If the stats change and it will always summon 2 bodies, then not so much. At 3 mana, this is also the worst Relic out of the 3. Wouldn't want to play this spell as my first Relic in a game.

New Neutral Minion - Ashen Elemental
Well 3 Mana 2/4 deal 2 is pretty neat but it could deal more damage so good card overall!
New Druid Minion - Topior the Shrubbagazzor
Nice one! I like this!
Could get annoying fast with lots of cheap Nature Spells!
New Druid Spell - Plot of Sin
Nice support for Token Druid.

And don't forget about Dredge.
New Druid Minion - Sesselie of the Fae Court
Well my plan for a Deathrattle Druid slowly takes it's form :)
Nice Card for the new location - good thing it has taunt otherwise it would not be as good as it is now :)
New Shaman Minion - Party Favor Totem
I love the Totem Support even tough this one seems kinda weak. Sure you can play the Flood the Board Plan and this helps you with that but that's kinda it. Maybe if you buffed it up with the New Legendary for Totems etc ...
Sureley will mess around with Totem Shaman because i always thought it is kinda fun :)
New Druid Spell - Planted Evidence
Very good on it's own but there was also another new Druid Card that interacts with Nature Spells so i guess this will be even better :)
New Warlock Minion - Lady Darkvein
Looks very good. Right now i only see this fitting into Curse-Lock but maybe we will get a now Shadow Spell for this.

This has potential to become very dangerous - right now im not so sure but i still think it is decent!
New Priest Spell - Clean the Scene
This seems a little underwhelming .... i do not see the Infuse happen that often in Priest and therefor i do not see this beeing played in standard. Maybe if the Meta becomes hyper aggro you could pay this for early removal but thats the only way i see this working.
New Neutral Minion - Theotar, the Mad Duke
Very interesting and very good. Cheap disruptive tool that almost every deck will play. This will be very annoying :)

Though there is Rats of Extraordinary Size and Rodent Nest so maybe hunter just plays those cards in that deck.
Hearthstone Designers Gallon and Songbird Share Insights on Huntsman Altimor - Callbacks, Tavish & More
Hard agree on this.
Unless infusing is much easier than I think, this card will eventually be buffed to only require 6 friendly minions to die.
