I’ll be curious to read the full fluff on it. It Hex and Blade seems odd for the patron; it almost feels like a stealth fix for the Blade pact boon. A Hexer as a type of warlock, one who curses, I can see, and tying it to shadows I can see. I think I’d rather they just patched Blade, because every warlock player I’ve had at my table wanted Blade until they realized that EB+agonizing blast was better than Blade+Extra attack+Cha to Damage.

I've felt this way ever since they posted the original UA article on the Hexblade.
