Archivist and Twilight Druid. With all the psionics stuff going around rn i still have hopes that they're just still working on the Archivist to release it together with the others but Twilight Druid is definitely dead. Which is a shame bc they only had to fix one tiny thing to make it playable but chose not to.
Giant soul sorcerer some good flavour and interesting potential. Just needed some of the late game abilities pulling back a bit as they were kind of defining features (getting huge) that most players wouldn't get chance to use.
I was really disappointed when Raven Queen Warlock didn't make it into XGtE. I had a lot of fun in one of my first campaigns returning back to DnD and it was certainly flavourful. I'm a big sucker for familiars and that one was so loaded up with stuff, it just felt awesome.
Pact of Raven Queen and the Raven Queen's Blessing Invocation from the same UA. I DM for a party where the players all independently chose Shadow Sorcerer, Gloomstalker, Way of Shadow Monk, Inquisitive Rogue and this UA. It's such a thematic concept, she players like the keeper of fate or death dealer as a pirate background. I want an official Pact of Raven so bad for her. I'd maybe only change the Soul of the Raven feature to something else... of which I'm not sure.

You could always steal from another subclass, like take the undying one where you recover health on makin . Successful death saving throw once per long rest. Maybe tack on necrotic resistance as well, since many of the level 6 abilities have a resistance thrown in.

You fear it more than the strike of a viper, the ravages of disease, the ire of a lover. The answer is always death. But death is a gentle mistress with a sweet embrace, and you owe her a debt of restitution. Life is not a gift, it is a loan."

Their spell list is actually pretty good, Cone of Cold and Spiritual Weapon. Spiritual Weapon is a great warlock spell.
Well even more to the point, the spell list is very thematic for the god of Winter and the passage of death and fate. I may be bias, because I LOVE her lore, but Im VERY disappointed this patron or their invocations were never followed through. However, I do understand why it didn't.

It might have been the confusion between Hexblade and Raven Queen patrons.

I do really like the subclass.
They have a blanket rule where if a UA does the same stuff as or better than a pre-existing subclass, then it is cast aside (hence Fighter: Brute's exit vs Champion). As much as I love this subclass, all it really did was give you a familiar and a specific wildshape and for the intention, I guess The Undying does it better. :'(

Mostly the Brute Fighter. It did a much better job of being the "dumb fighter" than the Champion.
Also the Lore Wizard. The only wizard Subclass to do things with the spellbook in combat.
All of the Sorcerers that they've ABANDONED!
What happened to Phoenix sorcerer? Or Sea sorcerer? Stone Sorcerer? Where are they? Why hast thou forsaken them Wizards?

Pour one out for Brute fighter. I just want to play a generic dude whose only talent is hitting things harder than most.
