It is an ability word, not a keyword, thus granting it means nothing. To write it out, I guess you might say "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell that targets a permanent, copy that spell for each other permanent that shares a color with that permanent the spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those permanents."
Radiance was one of the lowest-rated keywords in Ravnica block, which is saying something because haunt was also there. It has almost nil chance of coming back, especially since one of the big complaints was how little it felt like a Boros keyword.
Prowess might not be evergreen anymore.
Finally, copying spells doesn't trigger prowess. You could use a "Copy that spell and cast the copy without paying its mana cost" wording, but...
...And WoTC don't do anything that grants Prowess (maybe to avoid multiple instances of prowess, however, multiple instances of flanking or bushido are allowed). And last but not least, white prowess doesn't exist outside of Tarkir.
*Hasn’t existed since Tarkir, prowess is tiriary in white, but it’s on the verge of losing it’s evergreen status
His draw value is really why I play him in my decks. Other formats it's largely for his -2 and that's where his value is really coming from. Standard he is good, but not the best, he's just able to slot into pretty much anything. He doesn't take over the game as soon as he lands.
Yeah waste of plot time if you ask me. Chandra is not even getting a real training arc.
Also her tracking of Jaya makes no sense how does she even know what Jaya's signature looks like in the first place.
And beyond that sorry since when are Jaya and Karn friends? Karn and Jhoira? Yes. Jodah and Jaya? Yes. Karn and Jaya though what?
Didn't they hang out during Time Spiral? Also, I always kinda got that Karn was a pretty genial silver robot who made friends easily.
But yeah, its a Chandra story, so she perpetuates the stereotype the red is stupid. "Oh, this super old lady that's been around forever doesn't have a rank, but she knows a ton of stuff about pyromancy and is allowed to pretty much go anywhere and do whatever she wants in the monastery founded by Jaya, a super old lady who knows a ton about pyromancy and would be allowed to go anywhere an do whatever in said monastery, I won't stop to consider it might be her". I don't hate Chandra, but I go into all of her stories expecting her to miss the most blatant clues and make poor choices, and she never disappoints. At least her tomfoolery is moderately entertaining, sort of like Liliana's mustache twirling and generally being a Hela/Loki mashup or Gideon's casual indestructibility and being a Thor/Captain America mashup.
Two years is not actually a hard and fast rule. There were several times maro and others referenced last minute changes to amonkhet-ixalan in response to standard problems. For example, in this article:https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/latest-developments/amonkhet-and-standard-mailbag-2017-05-26 they talk about changes to amonkhet and hour of devastation in response to the change from 18 month to 24 month standard rotation. Assuming they made this decision sometime during SOI/EMN standard, this means cards were changing ~1 year prior to release. Because these promos aren't developed with the rest of the set, they may be finalized even later, in which case we could see the return to normal buy a box promos much sooner than two years.
They have a /FEW/ cards and slots that they can, and do, tinker with just prior to the set getting printed. It’s not a lot and new cards are rarely inserted.
Personally I rather like the BAB promo being exclusive, however I would like to see them change the way they are distributed and put into the boxes instead of at the LGS discretion to hand out as many have been screwing people over
I love this card for an R/G aggro deck. It does everything that an R/G card should do: smash face and gives mana. She is a nice curve topper.
That said, I really dislike the change in her physical complexion. I think the original art was pretty iconic, and there is the 'slim fit' build which she appeared to have, where you don't need to have tons of muscles just because you're an active warrior, rather being fast and powerful (Bruce Lee style). This change to a schwarzenegger-like build feels completely out of left field.
What's the time period in-story between this version of her and the original version? If it's on the order of decades, "completely out of left field" is a bit of an exaggeration.
It’s been 60 years ingame since the Mending, more than enough time for her to bluk out.
I personally love this card and think she’d be awesome in some hybrid elf-goblin token deck into Jaya's Immolating Inferno
