    Let's get this Chandra party started!




    The Rare one seems really good for Legacy.

    So another walker heavy set. At least they are not one sided Enchantments.

    I like them all. The rare one could be good with Purphoros, God of the Forge. But these look like they are supposed to entirely replace creatures with just lots of planeswalkers as a sort-of quasi-tribe thing.

    Uncounterability + immediate & repeatable emblems that are irremovable is the worst design decision I've seen since TNN.

    The card does cost 6... same effect on a 3 drop is ridiculous and would kill faster than a TNN if left unchecked.

    Great stuff. Just as we're having an indigestion of planeswalkers, here come more.

    The funny bit is that someone at wotc must have thought this was a great marketing strategy, turning the game into 'creatures against planeswalkers'. Of course, you then go and read the arena beta forums and realize that new players are actually totally fed-up of playing against planeswalkers.

    Planeswalkers were a mistake.

    It's the typical cycle:

    Players: "We like 'thing'."

    WotC: "Ok, let's overdo 'thing' until everybody and their mother is sick of it. Then we're going to jump on the next fad."

    6 drop is really funny for belcher decks and ruby storm. not sure if it's impactful enough, but against a deck like miracles or grixis control i think it could get there.

    T1 Fetch land, Chrome Mox/Mox Diamond, W&6 --> Get back Fetch Land (W&6 @ 4)
    T2 Fetch land, Chandra, Acolyte of Flame --> Get back Fetch Land (W&6 @ 5), use CAF's ability (CAF @5, W&6@6)
    T3 Lighting Bolt (or any other spell you want to retrace over and over) --> use CAF's ability (CAF @6, W&6@7) --> Discard Fetch Land, Lightning Bolt (assuming you have a land to discard every turn, with Chandra still out, this is a 3 turn clock - with you killing them on turn 5).

    Seems best with W&6, but also interesting with Dack Fayden, Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast, Saheeli Rai, & Sarkhan, Fireblood.

    Really looking forward to yet another three Jace 'walkers.

    Who do we think we're getting for the white ones? Elspeth returned? Ajani again? All-white Kaya?

    I like torch of Defiance the most here, there's some other good ones too, but this is definitely the strongest.

    Let's say you have something like turn 2 Chandra ToD. Turn 3 you can +RR and csst the new one, getting +1 loyalty. Next turn you can use the +1 loyalty and get the emblem. Then you just need any 4 spells.

    If looking for some weird kinds of decks you can cast seething song into tod into this new one on turn 1 if you play sol lands and ssg. Not sure if that's any good, but interesting that this line exists for a turn 2 ult torch of Defiance.

    One something is the worst since a different thing, the premise is that the different thing is worse, because The comparison is more impactful the further back you go.

    Re: Core Set 2020 Spoilers

    Is it just me or did they change Chandra's features to be asian in this set? Like, I did a quick google image search of Chandra to double check, and her features are pretty noticeably changed here, in all three pictures by two different artists, so it's not just one persons interpretation.

    Anyone else seeing that? Or am I just old/blind/crazy?
