    I don't mean just not meta-viable but probably runnable in the right deck, I mean flat out bad.

    I'll start with lava trap.


    List:

    Lava Trap
    Greater Pimpmeister
    Blood for Mortar
    Captive Lorekeeper

    nefari soul torch isn't that great I guess?

    I would second Nerafi Soul Torch.

    Might add Captive Lorekeeper.

    Tragically the big lad is not useful either, by which I mean Greater Pitspawn.

    Yes. The master pimp looks so cool, has a lovely special attack, and gets killed by range every time. A large tempo hit in every sense.

    I like his moves though. Da-Dhum!

    really, a ton of equips/relics/spells could use a modern update to do a little more to be on par with some things. But every faction has these kinds of runes so it's really w/e.

    animosity, epitaph, nefari mind tomb, tome of faded souls, stuff like all that. But even still, these runes can be used in ways to be good but never meta worthy or even considered in most bgs

    summon spider is actually decent, an iirc real champion summon anywhere in your spell zone stealthed.

    I believe that it is summoned not real. Still a reasonable spell in some circumstances.

    I like animosity, it is cheap and bypasses the IS bonus.

    Summon trap spider is also decent.

    blood for mortar makes the list.

    It's bad, but not sure it is bad enough.

    dark pact frankly is really out of date as far as spell blocks go now. requires you to target a specific champion needs the blocked spell to also be single target and target the same champion you did. there's just a lot of factors that need to go right for it to work properly.

    I find Dark Pact quite runnable. It has won me many games with a judicious cast. Then again, I do often cats it on a champ who then gets wiped out! ST's SHIELD is SO MUCH BETTER.

    Night blade is awful. I'm half tempted to see what evil aura was, but deep down I know it's crap.

    I can't think of a worse 2x2 then bok raider.

    Grimlic's Treachery
    sounds cool until you realize that you are always better off using superiority.

    Shadow Rake is a wee bit to expensive and slow for a squish class champion that poops out one squish summon.

    Hekation Voidraker kind of seems cool and tries so hard. There's no deck that it will fit in unless you really hate incorporeal.

    Has anyone got much use out of Hekatian Blood Draught? Or Hekatian fleshgrinder?

    These seem like they were meant to support the bleed theme but are pretty bad.

    Evil Aura=life drain aura with a visual effect.
    Grimlics treachery is actually pretty great
    Shadowrake is amazing
    Voidrakers got some crazy stuff


    I used to run fleshgrinder and blood draught back in the days where bleed was OP. but i dont feel like they were great
