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.
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
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.
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...
Interesting disruption card, where the likes of Prestor druid will severely suffer. You'd ideally want to wait to play Theotar when you know your opponent has a key card in hard. Giving your opponent the least impactful card from your hand seems like a nasty upside as well. Imagine you taking your opponent's Guff while you give them a useless card like a weapon buff.
Very interesting effect, one that I wish was added to the game earlier in HS's life, like many ppl are saying. It's definitely a tech card against combo/control decks and the different combinations of archetypes that can use this card in wild is...a lot. Kinda like a Rustrot Viper where it'll see play if certain classes are reigning supreme.
Someone will figure out a broken combo with this new Kaelthas during the theory crafting steam, then it'll rage rampant on day 1 launch, with maybe a speedy nerf a week later.
In recent times, Druid appreciates big minions so Sesselie of the Fae Court will fit right in. This is also the type of deathrattle you want to trigger using Hedge Maze so I'm fairly certain we'll see a new type of Ramp Deathrattle Druid popping up next expansion.
Guess this pairs nicely with Bibliomite for your standard hyper aggressive DH that we all know and hate.

And don't forget about Dredge.

Yea... If this was 2 mana, I'd be sold that totem Shaman would be a thing again. At 3 mana, not so much
Another good minion for curse warlock. I have a bad feeling about this...
Guess this is more support for curse warlock. Fun...
Guess you have to give 3 stars to a 3 mana 3/3 that reduces the cost of a shadow spell by 3. Gotta keep that consistency

Calling it now. History will repeat itself...

Hedge Maze is looking better and better now
Instantly most favorite card of the set. I'm totally NOT biased 😏
The name is hilarious, the art is magnificent and the effect is just... magic! What is there not to love about this legendary dragon?
The Whelpagazzor tokens are just adorable too!
Great Wronchi video as usual. As for Topior the Shrubbagazzor... I love it... I need it...GOLDEN!
Oh how I do enjoy these Brawl Block deckbuilding restrictions. Brawl Block mode when Blizzard?
