Are you lighting a soul on fire? Or burning someone with your OWN soul? This seems like an important distinction.

Previous availability[]
Prior Year of the Gryphon's rotation on March 30, 2021:
- Two copies of Soulfire were a reward for raising a warlock to level 6.
- Two Golden copies of Soulfire were a reward for raising a warlock to levels 28 and 30.
Notes[]
- This spell has two steps:
- Example: If you control
Archmage Antonidas and cast Soulfire, Archmage Antonidas will add a
Fireball to your hand before Soulfire discards a random card, which thus can be the Fireball you just obtained.
Strategy[]
If you cast this spell with no other cards in hand, you will be unable to discard a card, essentially gaining 4 damage with no penalty. It's still useful if you are willing to give up any of the cards in your hand as 4 damage is a significant amount of damage for 1 mana.
Soulfire has cheap synergy with cards such as Fist of Jaraxxus and
Malchezaar's Imp which benefit from the cheap discard effect.
Lore[]
Soul Fire is a Destruction warlock spell from World of Warcraft. It is a high damage, mana efficient spell that deals a large chunk of Fire damage to the target. The spell generally suffers from a very long cast time, but a related ability can reduce its cast time by 50% when used on low health targets, allowing it to be used as a powerful execute ability.
Trivia[]
- Blizzard has commonly misspelled the World of Warcraft spell Soul Fire as Soulfire in the past.
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Fields of Honor" series, for the card Cremate.
