They have been saving up every single bit of "being good" for like six Chandras in order to make this card.

Her emblem seems actually a bit weak compared to others.

This is a $50 pre-order card, even if it doesn't turn out to be that good. But this card is just generically good and I can't see it not being expensive.
The only thing that limits the card is whether red itself is good.

I was just about to complain that Wizards previews obviously good cards for every color but red.

Not that it wasn't going to be anticlimactic after that, but they said earlier we'd see Dovan's card this weekend and that didn't happen....
I thought it would be Dovan too, somebody said something about seeing the card by Monday i thought
its worse than drawing a card

You can't get land with it so its worse than Pyromaster's draw, but it also has 4 abilities for 4 mana, one of which is removal.

I'm actually surprised how long drawing cards has been part of her identity at this point it's almost moreso than targeted damage.

Everything about this card is nuts. It has FIVE ABILITIES. It draws cards with its plus at four mana! It kills creatures! It ramps!
Yeah I was waiting on that. Also, hyping up the crowd for Tezzeret and then showing them a card where he's shoved into the corner was pretty funny.

They -really- wanted to make sure there was finally a good Chandra card.
I love the Jace parallels but JTMS its not. Still might finally be the Chandra card that pushes a deck.

Y'all be forgetting chandra flamecaller, obviously not nearly on that level but she's had a hella strong card already.

Do we know whether or not the Chandra in the Planeswalker deck is supposed to be new or not? Is it not just going to be this Chandra?

Remember when people played Huntmaster of the Fells in Modern Jund?

There's no goddamn way its this one lol
This is Exhibit A when people ask about "Chase Mythics."
I think this is better than Kalitas in Jund, too.
Yeah that card was like "ok seems dece"
this is like "4x every red deck"

Essentially a 2 mana Planeswalker.

Guys, remember that the past few Chandras have seen a lot of tournament play, so this is hardly the first good Chandra.
Completely different. Notably, the Planeswalker Deck Planeswalkers are supposed to be high in mana cost and aren't pushed.

Five abilities, and she's ridiculous. This is a spikey power card, not a fun times Kiora card.

Her first +1 ability STILL does something even if it's a dead draw and you can't cast it...
Chandra Pyromaster is dead and buried:

Ya, I went back and re-read it, its a planeswalker card that won't be in the corresponding expansion.

I suspect the reason for that is that you cast her turn 4 you needed to have something to do with it. But GB is right, 2 damage to your opponent is completely relevant and functions as a 5th ability.

Hell, it can just straight up kill a lot of planeswalkers. Ob Nix after he comes down to kill a creature, Nahiri after she exiles something, Arlinn after she flips back after burning something. Not to mention that even if it doesn't kill them, Chandra's + basically wins every planeswalker fight in Standard for free.
The rate and flexibility you get for four mana here is unbelievable.

I'm confused. What happens to the card that has been exiled if you don't cast it? Can you cast it forever?
Just stays exiled.

When a card says "you may cast it," it means you have to choose to cast it as part of the resolution of the ability. You have to pay and cast it as Chandra's ability resolves (and because it says "cast" you cannot play a land). If you don't, your opponent takes 2.

If you don't cast it immediately it's gone forever. Unless you play Eternal Scourge alongside it.

It's exiled.
You can only ever cast it as part of the resolution of Chandra's ability.
