Transforming Chandra, Torch of Defiance
Asked by Argy 4 years ago
Can I attack with Chandra, Torch of Defiance , dealing two damage, then cast Shock on my second Main Phase, untap her to have her to deal 1 damage, then transform her?
I know that she has to activate her ability in order to transform, but am unsure as to whether or not her combat damage is taken into consideration.

Assuming that you meant Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh Flip since that is the one that makes sense in the context of the question, yes. Her transform ability does not specify any specific type of damage so there is no requirement. If it had to be from the ability it would be formatted similarly to Ashling the Pilgrim .

Thanks for the answers, and apologies for posting the wrong side of the card.
You both brilliantly worked that out!

Chandra, Roaring Flame is the back side of Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh Flip. There are too many Chandras to keep them all straight, lol.

To be clear on what's being discussed: Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh Flip
Yes, that works. Because the ability doesn't say it only counts a specific kind of damage, it counts all damage dealt so far by Chandra that turn, including combat damage.
