Forged in Fire Preview – Bloodfire Helmet
« on: May 15, 2014, 05:15:58 PM »




Cheap helmet to cast and put in spellbook and builds on her theme of wanting Burn tokens on enemy creatures.

Interested what this Wildfire Imp hinted about is. Must be able to set things on fire :P

Very thematic and powerful. I am a little surprised that it only costs 5 mana. I would expect something like this to cost around 8 mana. I am also surprised that this costs only 1 spellpoint. This makes it very easy for a Warlock to carry 2 of these. Hopefully this card doesn't become OP.

Looks like it's going to be really nice for the new warlock.  Can't wait to see a bunch of imps putting it to good use  :P

So that's how a demon based Pentagram play will work. Nice to know.

I must say, i am impressed. More and  more i want to try a demon swarm build. I had a cold shoulder for new warlock from the start but with each preview, she ignites something deep in my hearth :)

I've playtested a demon swarm build with her and it is a lot of fun.  Now mind you, while being VP I'm still what I would consider a "Casual" player, and Laddinfance has handed me my lunch three times in a row now, but I can say that this with pentagram and some cheap demons becomes pretty sweet!  I too like the 5 mana cost, as you can use a Battleforge early, let is build up slightly while you case a creature or 3 and then bloodfire helmet and go to town early on some unsuspecting soul... literally :) 

This is the first set in a while, that as a fan, I'm having a hard time choosing my preferred mage from it.  I think that's a good thing though :)

I REALLY hope we're getting a level 2 demon with a Flame attack now.

Demon Swarm sounds...fun.

Wildfire Imp sounds like exactly that.

I'm using gate to hell with this.  The gate will stack even more +1 to melee onto my demons, and the opening can stack on burns.
