Card reveal season for Forged in the Barrens continues with a card reveal from OnlineStation!
And no one was surprised they were late... again. Don't try to visit the link, it won't work. Caching in 2021? Hah!
Quote From Celestalon I'm super hyped for the Demon Hunter card that was just revealed, Sigil of Flame. It's the first in a series of Sigil spells that we're doing for them. I loved working on these, taking a mechanic from WoW and trying to imagine how it could work in Hearthstone.
For those curious how it looks in-game, there's a new icon (similar to the trigger lightning bolt on minions) that appears in your Secret zone. Mousing over it displays the card (to both players, it's not secret).

Nice!
I wonder if it was necessary to make it take up a secret slot. I feel like the mechanic would be better as an aura. Or, at the very least it could have it own symbol instead of the triggered effect symbol.
Edit: Of course, sigils taking up a secret slot will make no difference because DH doesn't play any secrets, but with the new secret tech it may be debilitating. I also just dislike the way it looks in the photo. I still think its a cool mechanic.
Interesting card. Could see soul DH using this in early game to contest the board.
Hm. This does not sound that great honestly. You're spending mana now to get an effect later, an effect that your opponent can see coming and can play around. Sure, this turn 2 against an aggressive deck likely prevents them from playing anything the next turn. But what if it's not turn 2? What if you're up shit's creek without a paddle turn 5-6 and you topdeck this? "Cool, guess I'll have to wait a turn to clear this onslaught". It's horrifically bad for you later in the game because at that point not only will you be taking collossal amounts of damage before it goes off, but you'll likely not prevent your opponent from playing minions cause most of them will be big enough to survive this. This also can't benefit from spell damage at all, so no Thalnos or Moarg Artificers to boost the 3 damage to something more useful later on. And lest we forget, this blows up your own board too if you had any. So it's not like your opponent is going to use their soon-to-be-dead minions to trade. And finally, DH is not really hurting for AoE. If you gave this to Druid they'd be overjoyed to have SOMETHING at least. But between Immolation Aura, Chaos Nova and Blade Dance, they're not desparate enough to want to wait a turn for boardclears.
Considering this is their Epic, supposedly one of the more powerful sigils, I'd wager this whole mechanic is not going to pan out.
Will these occupy a slot in the Secrets interface (max 5), like quests do?
Edit: nvm, just found the article on the mechanic.
Doomsayer was good, so this ought to be pretty good too. Probably needs to be in a deck full of lifesteal though, to make up for all the face damage you'll take when your opponent sees this come down.
Nice Doomsayer effect, but shares some of the same problems while not really sharing the same advantages.
One of the best features of doomsayer is that it needs to be removed so you more or less save 7 health since your opponent will be busy removing it. This does not present the same advantage. Yes, the effect can't be prevented, but at best all it does is stall your opponent's tempo plays for one turn. The 3 damage doesn't even guarantee a full clear sometimes.
Im not exactly sure why dhunters would need something like this. Maybe the healing is strong enough that you can tank the hits to get a clear board next turn.
Has soul demon hunter taught you nothing a deal 3 aoe is amazing.
Sure, one turn later. Which means you're taking all the damage from board if theres no taunt.
Play this, and if you're not already dead the next turn, then you just got an AoE effect with full mana crystals to spend. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but as I say, if dhunters can tank those hits with healing, then this is not a bad card. Otherwise, its too slow in my opinion.
I'm sure they'll get a good card to make up for it's downside. It's only a 2 mana card though it won't always be the only card you play that turn.
Something good would be if you have no minions on board become immune until your next turn.
or a board "freeze" a spell that stuns minions. Might be a bit broken in DH just an example.
yeah to bypass taunt or remove a board asap and not a turn later.
tho: comparing this to doomsayer doesn't make much sense imo anyway
Yeah this card obviously serves a different purpose but it's still a 2 mana deal 3 which is generally pretty strong.
I can see this in a Big DH to stall for plays.
Mini unstoppable Doomsayer.
Well, to whoever still updating the site at this hour, they're probably gonna lack some sleep now. Respect.
*F*
Whoops, turns out Flux ranting over there.
Seems like control DH support
It's like a dormant spell (that probably didn't make sense) and 2 mana deal 3 to all minions is great value. So if there's any control DH deck this will be solid for it.
Actually I love this card it can make slow DH decks actually viable.
Seriously though, if you can't run basic web infrastructure, maybe you shouldn't be getting card reveals.
This site fucks everything up every single card reveal period. It's late to post or the site is so unreachable it doesn't matter if you have a direct link to the image even because it won't load. Caching is not difficult. You can run a WordPress blog on a $5 a month VPS with some pretty crazy traffic if you have the slightest clue at what you're doing. I went to their site yesterday out of curiosity and it was still a massively lagged-out horror and at the time I doubt many people from Thailand were visiting it since it was the middle of the night there.
A waste of time for everyone hitting refresh for these card reveals. Even more of a pain in the ass because content folks that try to sleep between reveals get screwed over even harder.
Blizzard, this is your fault. You can definitely find a different person from Thailand to reveal cards. Give someone else the exposure.
I'm not salty, you're salty.
Oof, I wonder if websites based in Thailand are like that in general. I once had to track a package from Thailand - the postal tracking site was painfully slow to load or just timed out. I later used a VPN server based in Thailand and that seemed to work a little better.
I am just dumbfounded as to why Blizzard would give such a shit site a card reveal, but don't give OoC any reveals 😒 and the fact that this is a repeat occurrence is shocking
Or they could just give OoC a well deserved card reveal :)
I'd love to reveal pack filler tbh. Write an essay on it for fun =D
