Congratulations, cultist. You have The Book of Vile Darkness, and now the last remnants of his body. Now, we can bring forth our patron and grant him his rightful position as a god.
Nice to see the synergy between the three. Not sure if it's worth reviving Vecna outside of Commander, but the Eye and Hand have enough utility in of themselves to be playable separately. The artifacts of Vecna also synchronize very well with each other.
Vecna
⬤ Legendary Creature - Zombie God (Token)
Indestructible
When Vecna enters the battlefield, you draw a card and lose 2 life. (this ability does not matter, Vecna gains these abilities after it enters the battlefield)
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay 2. If you do, you draw a card and you lose 2 life.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, a creature you control named Vecna gets +X/+X where X is the number of cards in your hand.
At the beginning of your end step, if you lost 2 or more life this turn, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token.
8/8

that’s pretty decent the endstep corresponds beautifully with the upkeep one.
but the yucky poopoo part is that Unsummon effects exist in commander so you have to give it hexproof/ward of a high number somehow (but marit lage has the same problem though)
But each one alone is pretty decent anyway especially the eye that will be in all-star level for edh decks of any color.
Hand of Vecna is serious fun with Mordenkainen, but on Vecna it is a bit underwhelming... I mean it is large and indestructible. But without some evasion that doesn't do anything... In blue I can put the hand of Vecna on a random bird and have some serious threat going.

For the great Miss Y!
The Eye seems like a nice modernization of Book of Rass even if you can't use it many times in one turn. The cantripping upon etb really makes it quite nice; anything that previously blinked Tsabo's Web for card draw now has more ammo.
this artist got it wrong I recall Vecna looks like this
And not that token art
But you need to think about the chinese market ... they dont like human skulls and cant make cards too spooky, or the 6-year olds might not buy booster packs.
Tried Hand of Vecna in Modern UWR Ragavan Blade to see how good against combo its boost and cheap equip cost was. Turns out that Hand of Vecna, while arguably better against midrange than Kaldra Compleat because you can at least put the Hand on another creature for cheap, provides a pretty paltry P/T boost against midrange, and Hand of Vecna costing 3 mana to play if I don't want to tap Stoneforge Mystic hurt against combo. Hand of Vecna also had a pretty tough time out-boosting Kaldra Compleat, and if SFM died the turn after I put Hand of Vecna on it, I was straight outta luck anyway.

thran turbine once again proves of being a massive hidden gem in commander.
And here's the lich himself.
Vecna, seen here being aghast that you puked all over his marble floor while he was reading...
