So how does everyone feel about the new Chandra? I can only see it being potentially a one-of, because six mana is a heckuva lot, but its abilities fit pretty nicely with what we want to be doing. The zero is very powerful when we're out of gas, the minus is great because we typically don't have that many way to deal with creatures, and her plus can aid us when our opponent is locked out and we want to quickly clock them. Could just be only a sideboard consideration too, for matchups where our planeswalkers have always shone, like vs. Miracles etc. She then begs the question whether Koth or Chandra, Pyromaster are just better though.
My first glance says that new Chandra is flat out bad. 6 mana for 6 damage, a Wheel of Fortune +1, or an Anger of the Gods? Crap. I seriously doubt that new Chandra will even see play in Standard. The only way that I feel that she'll impact any format is if she manages to create some broken combo with her 0, but again, we come back to that issue of her costing 6 mana. We tried to utilize Inferno Titan which has the same casting cost and he failed to pan out, so new Chandra is a no for us sadly.

It really sucks that blue gets stuff like Jace, Vryn's Prodigy and red gets this piece of shit.
