Title: Could the new Chandra = JtMS
Post by: Taysby on July 02, 2013, 10:45:55 PM
Sorry, I just had to.

Also, I think she's amazing for red for her mana cost.  (Don't say anything about dual red.  Remember jace.)

I think all comparisons involving JTMS and another Planeswalker are simply doomed to fail. He's just that good.

It really is doomed because he is amazing, and they probably will not make one like him ever again.  EVER JtMs was an experiment to see how good they could make a planeswalker.

But while we are on the subject, Chandra is good.  Her abilities feel Izzet-y, well the second two at least.  The first one feel aggro.

Now it curves out with Melek, and that works with her second ability, knowing when to dig past the non instants/sorceries.

It also curves out with another spoiled card known as {Pyromancer's Gauntlet}.  Which says when a red instant/sorcery OR a red planeswalker deals damage.  It deals that damage plus 2 more damage instead.  So Chandra's first ability turns from making sure another creature can get in some more damage, to removal by dealing 3 damage to a creature, and a chunk of 3 damage to a player.  All on a +1 ability.  I believe that the gauntlet's ability stacks so if you get two Chandra's +1 deals 5 to a player and creature instead.

Yes.

Her +1 is pretty sweet. 0 abilities are always good. The ultimate can be scary in a pure burn deck, especially in casual where things like {lightning bolt} are automatic four-ofs if youre playing {R}.

You can't have two Chandra's can you? I thought if  two of same walker ex. {Jace beleren} and {jace memory adept} were placed on the field in the same time as the other
They were both immediately buried.
Or are you suggesting something else Flick?

I think he meant two gauntlets, not two chandrs
