El efecto pasivo de la Reliquia no es un reemplazo de efecto (no dice en lugar de), por lo que técnicamente la Reliquia primero deja el juego y después regresa a la mano. Es en ese momento cuando se resuelve el efecto pasivo de la Reliquia y la carta se baraja de nuevo en la baraja de su propietario.
Así es como funciona Snow Graves, que impide que una reliquia destruida o sacrificada regrese al mazo, ya que antes de hacerle ha de pasar por la pila de descartes y aquí es donde se aplica el efecto del Snow Graves.

Rule Question:
just a quickie this time. if for example Constricting Elder Thing chooses a relic as the card to return to hand, which takes precedence ? the return to hand OR the when relic leaves play shuffle into deck ?? thanks.
Answer:
Very intriguing question. The passive is not a replacement effect so technically the Relic leaves play to be returned to hand and the moment it gets there the passive then resolves on the card causing it to be shuffled into the owner's deck.
This is how a Snow Graves prevents a destroyed or sacrificed relic from being shuffled into the deck, because it must actually hit the discard pile first where its effect then immediately tries to resolve but is halted by Snow Graves conflicting, but absolute, passive effect.
