I like how it can slow down your opponent although I'm not sure by how much. I mean really, if it will only cost them that 1 more to play stoneforge mystic on turn 3 instead of turn 2, then they will do it. At least you are making them wait a turn though. Although, I'd hate to reveal this, and then on turn 2 they just put down a scute mob or a birds of paradise and pay the extra 1 mana. Plus with phyrexian mana, they can make some stuff free, and then pay the mana anyways.

I'm surprised no one has suggested this for u/w. Clone, or god forbid a kicked rite of rep on this ***, and your opponents will be hard pressed to get more than one spell a turn through, with no mana left over. The prohibitively high mana cost is fairly easily overcome by discarding and reviving ity. This is absolutely the best of the chancellors, simply because the starting hand ability sits around waiting for your opponent to act. It is the perfect accompaniment for control, stifling early growth and giving you time to establish a defense.

Ummm, no one thinks to look at the old mirrodin block and go "Hey, wait a minute they broke the game again" Am I wrong or does chancellor and Damping Matrix make for game over man?

@Ancient_Mossdog,
This and Damping Matrix don't really interact. It's not an artifact or a creature until AFTER it's been cast.

Free, uncounterable Force Spike. I'll take a dead card for that.
Run it next to the Green Chancellor.

My favorite of the Chancellors, nothing like being able to zone before the game has even officially started. Also, she is one of the only chancellors that really keeps on giving later in game. I love her, my deck loves her and luminarch ascension thinks she is a good and trusted friend.

Paying that 1 extra mana on turn 7 for every spell can be devastating if you have built the right deck to go with it. Add some rhystic study, Disruptive Pitmage, Propaganda, Norn's Annex. Add a rhystic deluge to tap down their creatures when they have no mana. If you are feeling expensive you can run Rishadan Port and The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
