[MTG] Chandra, the Firebrand


Recommended Posts

Let's analyze:
Four mana red planeswalker: gonna be tough competing with Koth for space in my mono-red deck. At least Chandra Nalaar fit over Koth and under Inferno Titan in the mana curve. Well, this has use in red decks that use one or two other colors.
Three loyalty: Good thing the first ability is a +1, otherwise this is in Lightnining Bolt ra- oh, wait!
It'll still be in Galvanic Blast metalcrafted range, though. then again, so is Koth....
+1: Killing a weenie is always nice. Regulating a Planeswalker can be nice. Being able to do either is very helpful.
-2: I personally wouldn't play Chandra just for a Reverberate ability. If anything, I'd use this ability on a small number of occasions.
-6: Feels like it takes too long to get to this point, but holy crap! The fact that Chandra can ping away Signal Pests makes her last a little longer, so this ability might see use.

Overall, I like it, though I'm not sure if I'd use it next to Koth in my Big Red. If I do, the deck will probably require a fundamental re-structure into Red Planeswalker Control (Contagion Clasp and Volt Charge for the win!).

I don't even know what a Mythic rare looks like

It's got a red-orange expansion symbol as opposed to black (common), silver (uncommon), or gold (rare).

That's why she's so good imo. You can do something like Volt Charge x2 hit something for 6 damage then double proliferate. Tezz's gambit works the same way, only you end up up 4 cards. Really, her other two abilities are straight forward, both this one leaves so much room to play around with.

Probably the closest thing there is to JTMS power-level wise in the set. DO WANT PLAYSET

And even if it's the closest it's still worlds apart.

Mythic Rare = Highest Rarity
Mythic Rare Planeswalker = $$$

Sets with lots of planeswalkers tend to have low prices for those planeswalkers. Grab some while you can, until she starts seeing the tournament play (like we all know she will) she'll probably go for about $25.00
