So "Energy" is the players own personal mana to use on Kaladesh? I can't say I'm a fan of this right now, but without all the info it is hard to say fully.
Time to expect Double Energy cards in our booster packs.
They kind of remind me of those Kamigawa cards that added mana to your mana pool that stayed until the end of the turn (Sakura-Tribe Springcaller, Mark of Sakiko, etc). It's like an extra reservoir of mana that you can spend on cards that use it.
Granted, that's all conjecture at this point because we've only seen the one card, but it's a neat mechanic. I like it!
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
3 mana PW tend to be playable, but of course she being two colors restrict the range of decks that can fit her. She only has built-in CA if you can copy something that has an ETB effect. Even death triggers are not good enough for her -2. Still, getting an ETB is okay, but it's a minus ability... I guess you need a defensive two-drop.
PS: can people please post text-version of cards too? It really helps.
Its in the colors of Lightning Bolt and Snapcaster Mage (one of the best ETB creatures ever), something will be brewed with her. Hell go Jeskai and add in Path to Exile and Nahiri, the Harbinger and some big finishers for each ultimate and we may have something.
