Notes
- Souleater's Scythe's effect functions as follows:[1]
- When the game starts, it removes 3 different random minions from the player's deck. It then shuffles 3 Bound Souls into the player's deck.
- These Bound Souls can Discover one of the three removed minions.
- When one minion is selected to be Discovered, it is removed from future Bound Souls, meaning the same minion cannot be generated multiple times.
- If more copies of Bound Soul are played after all minions have been Discovered, it will not have any effect.
- If a player copies or steals a Bound Soul from their opponent, it will use their pool of minions rather than the original owner's. Unless that player is also playing Souleater's Scythe, this pool will be empty and the Bound Soul will be functionless.
- Souleater's Scythe always triggers after
C'Thun, the Shattered.[2] However, it will interact in a random order with other Start of Game effects and 
Prince Renathal, and will make the effect fail to trigger if a minion with a Start of Game effect is removed by Souleater's Scythe. - Souleater's Scythe chooses the three minion it will destroy before the game begins, and prevents them from being drawn during the Mulligan.
- When the game starts, it removes 3 different random minions from the player's deck. It then shuffles 3 Bound Souls into the player's deck.

Lore
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.The Scythe of Souls is a powerful weapon wielded by the demon hunter Allari the Souleater. She calls it an artifact, like the ones wielded by adventurers. It is implied to be sentient to some extent and can communicate with her. The scythe can trap the souls of demons within it. In addition, its power can inflict burning pain on demons, which Allari frequently uses as a torture method while interrogating demons. During the Illidari's confrontation with Akama in the Black Temple, if the demon hunter adventurer picked 
Kayn Sunfury as their second-in-command, Allari uses the Scythe of Souls to recreate the Shade of Akama by ripping it out of Akama's body.
