This is probably not very good but I love it for memes

How will this NOT be an autoinclude?
Oh boy, me like!
Autoinclude, even without mordresh, this is just a good card
4 Mana 7/7
Will break even after two uses of the hero power.
I really like this one!
The future for Inspire and Even Mage shines bright with this card
absolutely BUSTED. This will be an auto-include in a lot of decks, and makes Mordresh Fire Eye really easy to activate. Reckless Apprentice is also busted because of it.
Oh and in WILD it's AMAZING, because it makes EVEN Mage kinda better than ODD mage, because you can get the same hero power for only 1 mana, or even 3 damage heropower for 1 mana. Yeah EVEN Mage will be a powerful deck going forward!
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
Mage is playing Shadowpriest now.
This is just fair enough to play early (especially since Mage is still pretty decent at clearing boards) and pays off big with Apprentice.
Also gives you reach since eventually you can just resort to pinging face.
Jaina might be a better Hunter nowadays
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Really good, using two of these and discovering more will be nuts.
So incredibly cool! Will play this a lot!
Knew something like this was coming. I love this idea as well and fully intend to play a lot of it.
Sort of wishing it was odd, but what can you do.
At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit.
Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.
I just . . . can't get my head around why they would nerf Shadowform, and then give mage the exact same card without the nerf. I get it, different classes have different strengths, and mage gets more hero power support than other classes. But if the nerf to shadowform was problematic, how can you justify doing the exact same thing in another class that can utilize the effect better.
I guess we should be glad priest has weaker cards since lets be honest, who really enjoys fighting against priests anyway? But shadow priest was going to be a different priest that was supposed to be more fun and interactive than control/heal/rez priest. So why couldn't priest have gotten better shadow cards and worse heal/removal cards? Isn't that what people wanted?
Anyway, about Wildfire itself, the card looks fun and powerful. And it may be enough to make Hero Power mage work.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
This looks great! Lots of synergy for hero power mage!
Great card that will make it easier to get Mordresh Fire Eye activated. Will also be great in even Mage in wild. 2 damage fireball hero power is going to be nuts!
Mordresh Fire Eye has now a real activator
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
if you find this on random generation in addtion to your deck your hero power can get out of hand
Hero Power Mage auto-include this, but any Control Mage would probably run this. The payoff is so good for 2 mana. In the long run, this could deal a lot of damage.
OBLIVION!
very good card.
but c'mon blizz c'mon..! why remove the Shadowform's "if already in shadowform" part c'moooon... priest would hardly play 2 Shadowforms and get a 3 damage hero power in a game but mages will discover tons of spells and they gonna stack the damage like 4 or even 5.
Very interesting. Who knows even mage will finally be a thing?
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
ow man hero power mage gonna be goooood?
and when you discover this still very powerful
Autoinclude in any Mage deck

I wasn't gonna talk about Even Mage on the other two HP related cards, but with this it could very well be a top-notch meme deck for fun games. Worth trying out.
I literally squealed like an excited baby when this came up in the reveal stream.
People are going to hate this deck so much.
The fact that you can discover this makes it much crazier.... Think odd mage might have a strong competition here....
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
I love this card so much. I don't even card if Hero Power mage is strong, I will play it.
YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS *happy even mage noises*
Even Mage will be my new cancer project.
Nice
The card that will carry a Hero Power deck. Can give insane value over a longer game, especially if you manage to discover more copies.
Just crazy good. Even if its not, I'll be playing this card in all mage decks from now onwards myself.
Control mage is a definite threat now, with this inevitability.
you had to figure this was coming after the Mordresh Fire Eye reveal
looking forward to hero power mage
Only decent because Mordresh Fire Eye is a thing, otherwise no one would ever run this.
EDIT: Ok, fair enough. I'm excited for Even Mage in Wild. To be frank, I didn't think of that.
Arena > Wild > Standard
5 star card. Mage tends to hp quite a lot and this will massively boost it
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
This card just seems busted in no minion mage with Incanter's Flow
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Love it. A damage buff that can't be removed. You would only want this in certain decks of course, but it could really shine there.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
Great card! Hero power mage looking strong with this, and really any control mage deck can probably really make use of the extra damage
Great for the new legendary and the other card .Will see play a lot because of discover also.
Really, really strong, but fun. 2 mana Justicar Trueheart, and you can upgrade twice.
Even deck for 1 mana deal 3 damage? With that amazing 3/5 and 10/10 finisher? Don't really like Mage in general, but sign me up for this one.
Buff that Hero Power. Seems like it could be really good.
I can't help but feel the name doesn't really match up with the effect that well though. "Wildfire" sounds more like the name of an AoE spell.
For the rest of the game? Yeah, go ahead HP mage, try to get to turn 30.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
Even without the finisher, I just want to keep upgrading this and see if I can one shot someone
Very nice!
This looks like a lot of fun. Gotta try this out in wild! Get all my hero power benefits!
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I love hero power mage, and this is good in a lot of decks.
Ouch .. the fact that it most likely stacks ...
The Barrens were a lush jungle. Then this happened.
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
This is pretty good on its own, but it will really work well with the new mage legendary.
Nice for the hero power mage with 2 copies. Can stack up and be quite value in the long run
This is a fun card! Vargoth approves
LOVE IT, will make hero power mage viable
Ridiculous with Reckless Apprentice. I'd find it very weird if this didn't end up seeing play. Love to see support for more Control-oriented Mages for a while instead of pure RNG fiestas.
This is so OP card will be auto-included to any mage deck.
The above without a doub
I'm not online it's just your imagination
Cheap and you can play 2 copies... And generate even more copies.
By The Holy Light!
Very good - almost an auto include in every mage deck but this New Hero Power Mage that will emerge in this meta will love this card.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Hero power mage meme archetype
For the rest of the game? If so, it´s really good imo. By running two copies of this, you could end up with 3dmg HP. Nice.
♡ u 4ever 2008 - 2022
Nice card and permanent effect also.
Insane value card.
Let's say this: Turn 2 you upgrade this in a control match, turn 3 you upgrade it again. Now you have a 2 mana deal 3 for the rest of the game.
It's even good against tempo and to some degree against aggro decks.
I love it.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
gimmi that card asap
I mean, a 3 damage for 2 mana each turn? Obviously strong ! Adn they added more cards to boost and interact with the hero power, some insane things can happen, Coldarra Drake *wink wink*
Murlocs <3
Really good, cheap upgrade for your hero power that could scale up even more. Seroius potential with all new HP synergy in mage.
Permanent buff. You can include 2 in your deck.
Seems powerful!
Very good if used with Archmage Vargoth in wild, or discover it from another cards. Very powerful
Interesting but unreliable, but hey maybe hero power mage actually works

I love it. Generating multiple copies of this during a game looks so fun.
Which mage deck would not run this? I can't think of any this card is insane also hero power mage loves this.
This is great even without the other hero power payoffs. Getting your hero power up to 2 or 3 damage is a great way for any late-game/value Mage to whittle down their opponent.
veryy good u like this power up hero power
With 2 of them = 2 mana deal 3 hero power.... so good
Certainly makes Reckless Apprentice nicer, but a similar card ( Shadowform) haven't find a lot of play. I don't know if Mordresh Fire Eye and Reckless Apprentice are enough to force you to play this spell, but in wild you can use this to buff DK hero power
One small problem is that Primordial Protector seems to be the only way to tutor spells now. If your Wildfires are stuck at the bottom of your deck, you are going to have to rely on Discover effects or purely random generation.
Cool spell for Hero Power Mage. A Permanent buff to the Hero Power is pretty powerful, making it a lot easier to use your HP to remove minions or deliver relevant damage to the face. Maybe Face Mage is a thing?
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Could be good in secret mage since the deck doesn't always have a turn 2 play. Though the deck is pretty tight as it is
Ribbit
It doesn't say anything like "this turn", so that should mean it's a permanent upgrade. Damn. This means you'll be able to activate Mordresh Fire Eye twice as fast.
Cool
This card is absolutely insane. I think this'll be the craziest card in the whole set, considering the support that Mage's Hero Power has received
I got high hopes for this card, I think it works in a dedicated hero power deck and maybe even in a pure spell deck.
Even mage is going to need and love this. Don't know about any deck in standard though.
Autoinclude in each mage deck. Maybe the best mage card from this expansion
Outside of Mordresh Fire Eye shenanigans, feels very meh. You want the reach provided by Wildfire mostly against aggro and you can't spend 2 mana doing nothing and expect to not be punished.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
Incredibly strong if you draw it early and the fact that further copies can be discovered is huge.
No words needed here
just here for quilboar tuskaroons
awesome
I'm excited to play hero power mage. This could be all kinds of fun. A little bit of build your own Odd Mage, without the deck restrictions.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Just Amazing. One of the most powerful cards this expansion
Will the effect persist after you've played Frost Lich Jaina?
Looking forward to Hero Power Mage
I like mage hero power decks already, and this just makes it a little bit better. If you play this on turn 2 you lose a bit of tempo, but the increase in value definitely makes up for it! It kind of seems like a better Shadowform.
DOOOOPE! I love this card. Very fun idea and great with Mordresh.
why did we nerf shadowform again?
core card in hero power mage archetype. but doubt it will be good
I love this card. I think this can be run in any Mage deck and still pull it's weight. Super good card.
This hero power mage looking way batter than the scuffed version of rhastakhan rumble.
Mage will be tier 1 with this card I believe, looks super strong.
Definitely part of my new favourite deck for the expansion. Even without the rest of the synergies, I think this card is just good in Mage where Shadowform failed in Priest, since it basically acts as a Justicar Trueheart with potential to go even further.
Welcome to the site!
Super strong to upgrade hero power.
Bomb card!
But why shadowform was nerfed then???
For The HORDE!
Very good, and loving the HP synergy in both FitB and the new Mage Core.

Now you just have to generate 10 copies of this in one game..
On it's own is not something amazing, but probably this will form the backbone of Hero Power Mage deck.
This is basically two mana to upgrade your HP, which you used to pay six mana for back in the day with Justicar Trueheart (not counting Baku the Mooneater). I think this enables Mordresh Fire Eye easily and can turn your HP into a Darkbomb every single turn. My only concern with this archetype is that this HP won't be able to compete with Lord Jaraxxus, which may demand a more combo package with Conjure Mana Biscuit and Potion of Illusion.
For glory, honor, and gold!
Like the current core set iteration of Shadowform, but for mage which has cards that care about your hero power. This might actually see play, and wouldn't hurt to discover.
