Seems like a good name for a new Chandra in this set.
Artwork seems sweet, the water has the ripply-swirly-ness of Kaladesh's aether. Will be interesting to see what sort of abilities they give her for her trip home.

After clicking on a thread that's just the card name and realizing that we don't have the card, I feel a bit clickbaited. Thread name should be something like "Name and art for new Chandra" or something.
I hope she's good though. Come on, this is her home plane, make this one count. We've had too many so-so Chandras and red planeswalkers in general.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
It should be noted, this was all revealed at the end of the Mothership Announcement Day Video, and it was stated that this is going to be revealed as part of the Kaladesh party. So this is almost guaranteed to be her Kaladesh set card, not her Planeswalker Deck card.
+1 Chandra deals 2 damage to target Creature or Playa & 1 damage to you.
-2 You may cast an instant or sorcery card from your graveyard with manacost of 2 or less without paying its manacost. Exile it afterwards.
-X Discard X cards from your hand, then draw X cards.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.

Would you play that ? ^^
A 3 mana planeswalker with a + ability that says "Target player really doesn't want to play 2 toughness creatures for the rest of the game"? Totally not busted.

"And if you play more than 2 toughness I will just flashback something to kill it".
well.... good walkers (even at 3 mana) can be VERY oppressive if left unchecked.
thing is, all chandra does is deal damage and loot cards...
her latest iteration could also create elementals, but that's her first try in doing something different.
at 1 damage to stuff, her +1 will not be powerful enough, at 2 damage, it's borderline broken.
that's probably why we never had a really good Chandra... as the really good ones will simply be too good.
Can't get the image to post from my phone at work, but didn't see a thread.
EDIT: Here's the link with said picture and name
UBRKess, Dissident MageUBR - Controlling Dissidents
