Chandra?
Standard forum

I was thinking of using Chandra, the Firebrand in my grixis, since I already have two of her, thoughts? I like her, I've just yet to find a place for her amid my decks. Where do you guys think she fits best?

I mainly like her for her -2, so that's how I feel too. So her plus one would just be to keep the spell copy engine going. Plus I see Wizards seems to plan on reprinting her in some form, so it's something I can hope to keep after rotation. If Ral Zarek doesn't take her spot entirely when Dragon's Maze hits.

Honestly, I don't really think Chandra, the Firebrand does much in Standard. She's comparatively weak because she doesn't do much during her first turn on the field. Her -2 needs to be built for because it doesn't play well with several Standard cards (although it would be nice with card:Aurelia's Fury).
She's only really relevant in EDH, in my opinion.

That's where I've seen her shine brightest, yeah. I have seen her in a few decks at the shop, though. I don't pay enough attention to who's winning with what to remember how well the decks with her are doing, but she's around in small doses.
Oh man, though. Copying an card:Aurelia's Fury would be smexy. Nice.

Agreed, as is copying card:Rakdos's Return or Slaughter Games . Smeeeexeeeehhh.

She sees some play in Grixis control builds now and then. Her +1 is repeatable creature control, though it's weak, and her -2 can win the game on its own. I think she's just a little to non-impactful for four mana to make the cut in most truly competitive Standard decks, though.
