Previous availability

Prior Year of the Gryphon's rotation on March 30, 2021:

• Two copies of Starfire were a reward for raising a druid to level 2.
• Two Golden copies of Starfire were a reward for raising a druid to levels 45 and 46.

Notes

• This spell has two steps:
  • First, it damages its target, queuing and resolving triggers;
  • Then, it draws a card, queuing and resolving triggers.

Strategy

Starfire is a strong direct nuke which can be used in combination with weaker minions to take out large minions or finish off a low opponent. With its card draw effect serving to replace the card when played, Starfire is especially well-suited to slower decks. Starfire can be combined with Solar Eclipse for a Pyroblast that draws 2 cards for 2 less mana

Lore

"The very heavens echoed the druid's rage and opened up at his command."

Starfire is a balance druid ability that deals large amount of arcane damage and generates Solar Energy, helping build towards a Solar Eclipse.

Starfire is also seen in the Heroes of Azeroth deck of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game

Trivia

• The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Onyxia Treasure" series, for the card Sunfire.
