New Demon Hunter Epic Card Revealed - Sigil of Flame
Online Station just revealed a new Forged in the Barrens card: Sigil of Flame
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).

Very much like Doomsayer, deals less damage, but can't be interrupted, which is the main risk of running Doomsayer.
A good control tool, if DH should take that direction.
I'm actually surprised it doesn't also read "deal 8 to the enemy hero's face"
Ah, PrincessKenny, the hero we need!
Also, exactly what I thought.
kind of random
silly developer, they forgot to give the spell a spell type
It's a Fel one mate, just hover it and you will see the original graphic.
Nope, that was a mix up on our side. We created the card without the tag, noticed our mistake, corrected it for the database version, but forgot to update the article with the correct version. Done now!
why is sigil of (flame) not a fire spell
Because it is fire fueled by fel, aka Felfire and not fire fueled by more mundane things. It's a specific thing in the Warcraft universe.
"Fel magic is a destructive form of magic often used by demons and the members of the Burning Legion. It is demonic, entropic, chaotic and extremely volatile. Its use by the wielder, or its effects on the victim, frequently results in an alteration of the individual, colloquially called corruption."

fun fact wow version hits fire damage instead of chaos or fel.
Is this a one time activation or does it happen every turn?
one time, just your next turn.
There's definitely benefits to it triggering with a delay(on top of it dealing 3 damage for 2), it prevents your opponent from playing 3 health minions for a turn and as such most likely gives you a turn where you can develop yourself. Early game, It's like a doomsayer but you can't prevent the effect
Really cool. I was always waiting on them to print more 2 turn effect cards, at least more than just freeze or the dormant minions. It`s like a secret that you know of and changes your gameplay. We will find out if it is good anyway, but it is surely something fresh and different. Also there may be more sigil cards printed and sigil of silence could a have an interesting design.
Why clean board on your turn when you can clean it in the next one?! The BEST card ever! Well done!
I think this is bad? why would you give agro and extra face-time turn
Prevents Aggro from developing more board the turn after you play it, then starts your turn with their board nice and empty. The face damage is considerable but not the end of the world.
pretty good
Seems worse than immolation or defile, only good if opponent vomits something turn 1 and you coin this out
It’s a bit like Doomsayer in that it’s a preemptive measure than a reaction. 3 damage is enough to deal with most small minions and tokens.
