You don't need the full value of the battlecry to make this worth it. Between secrets, Quick Shot, and Lock and Load there's already plenty to pull at the 1- and 2-cost slots. Barak Kodobane looks like a very strong card.
Your right man. The meta report show that new cards have a healthy presence in the game. Something you just get unlucky with your match ups I guess.
As for the lack of nerfs. From what I understand, they need to ship patches 2 weeks in advance before they can implement them in the game due to mobile restrictions. This is a big issue especially for the competitive scene. I don't think anyone would like to watch the same 3 deck over and over again for months.
I don't think it'll see play, but I mean, its tutor, which means its heavily reliant on those 3 slots. There might be some insane broken combo that comes out, or it might just be enough to finish off for aggro, who knows.
New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite
Solid card. Easy to trigger
NGA Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Legendary Hunter Card - Barak Kodobane
This card can draw you Tracking, any secret, and Petting Zoo. Not to mention you can play all of them next turn.
Sigil of Flame
Really excited for this card, and this new mechanic as a whole. Should be a pretty nifty tool against aggro decks!

New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite
Easy to trigger, solid stats for cost, and really interesting if they provide any more handbuff tools. All around, pretty good.
New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye
Wild Hero Power Mage. I have to craft Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk, but who cares!
Fun incoming!
Demon Hunters Get a New Spell Mechanic in Forged in the Barrens - Sigils! Here's How They Work And What They Could Be
Thanks for the informative writeup!
New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
Awesome card with a never seen before mechanic.
Wondering what would happen if it gets into other classes through steal effects.
Other than that paired with Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk in a deck with Mordresh Fire Eye in wild would be really fun to play.
5/5
New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Flame
Not great, not terrible, will have its uses in Control/Big DH I guess
New Hunter Minion - Barak Kodobane
A certain Professor is amused by this support. Draw 3 specific cards in Hunter is CRAZY good!
New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
Could be really strong with Desperate Measures, but in wild, secret paladin is a no for me.
Nice effect/desing at least.
Demon Hunters Get a New Spell Mechanic in Forged in the Barrens - Sigils! Here's How They Work And What They Could Be
My speculations:
- Sigil of Silence (2 mana): At the start of your next turn, Silence all minions.
- Sigil of Misery (4 mana): At the start of your next turn, return 2 random enemy minions to your opponent's hand.
- Sigil of Chains (4 mana): At the start of your next turn, take control of 2 random enemy minions until the end of your turn.
- Several sigils of the same type can be active at the same time
- All active sigils share the same slot: there is no limit of active sigils you can have (mouseover the lighting bolt icon to see all active sigils)
- There will be a card (spell or minion) to trigger immediately all currently active sigils
New Demon Hunter Minion - Razorfen Beastmaster
Nice dual class card! Oh... Wait... Nope.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Kurtrus Ashfallen
Really good against aggro decks. I see it more geared towards control.
At least I feel that anyway.
Control DH meta? Nah.
New Neutral Minion - Primordial Protector
Solid effect, awful body. Gonna try it (if I open it) in an Evolve Shaman package.
Primordial Protector
Spell druid go brrrrrrrrrrr
Darkmoon Races dual-class cards get sorted under Neutral
They were indeed incorrectly flagged as Neutral in the database, should be fixed now.

New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
Kazakus now comes with a body no matter what.
Ok, not bad.
New Hunter Minion - Barak Kodobane
5 mana draw 3 with soft/hard tutor.
Even better for a combo based hunter, draw tracking a secret and... somethingsomething.
New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite
Control odd warrior.
Hello there.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Flame
A fan of the sigil concept here. Hopefully it will see play... I feel it totally will
New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite
I like this.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Flame

Blizzard still trying to push DH towards control.

Fk aggro.
