Firstly, let's fix that OCG

 

This card cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects. You can destroy 1 "Hazy Flame" monster you control; Special Summon this card (from your hand). If this card is sent to the Graveyard because of a "Hazy Flame" monster card effect, or because it was tributed for the Tribute Summon of a "Hazy Flame" monster: You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard in Defense Position. 

 

Now it's time for the review of the card. 

This card would benefit the archetype very much. Its self-summoning effect will make Cerbereus go off, netting a search, which can then make it so that you can tribute summon a Peryton (assuming you haven't already normal summoned this turn) so that you can make an instant 5-mat Basiltrice (assuming you get Peryton off and go for double hydra). However, this monster has the highest ATK out of all Hazy Flames, and with the instant summoning can be a bit dangerous. Also, the only monster that would send this card to the graveyard by card effect would be Sphynx, since all the others would use it as a cost.

Overall the card is good, but there are a few worrisome and moot points to it.
