Is it just me or does this art for Chandra really... not look that great? The fire has less "oomph" (compare Chandra Ablaze), and her face and ears look very strange.
Not too impressed with this iteration of her art.

I really liked Chandra Naalar... She was my first planeswalker. However, I'll try to keep my feelings aside while I review the newer one.
Lower CMC... Also More Splashable, probably going into R/B Bloodthirst decks. I can see myself using her -2 way more often than her ultimate, though.
She also kind of makes a pointless infinite combo with reverberate. Play reverberate copying any spell, copy reverberate with Chandra's -2, have the new reverberate copy another reverberate and so on. You could also get the same effect with only 2 reverberates, I guess... That could be a game ender with Shrine of Burning Rage or give you infinite life with Dragon's Claw.
Edit:
@Alucard311: Yeah, true. It wouldn't work as they are only being copied, not cast. My bad.

ok this card scares me;
+1 (its just a scratch, no harm done)
-2 (if its lava axe or fire ball being copyed i may cry)
-6( sure i run a hex proof, regen deck so my creatures may live but dam the 6 damage to me)
overall i hate burn cards but love them cos there not blue god i hate blue

I wish they'd put a LITTLE more effort into Chandra, instead of giving her abilities of other, more useable cards. I mean her +1 is worse than a Shock. Her -2 is Twincast or Reverberate. And if you are lucky enough to get her to 6 in anything but a proliferate deck, that's not exactly a really good finisher, unless you could stack the damage on one target, which you can't. Once again, Chandra is a very mediocre card, and Jace far,far outshines her. I'm rather disappointed Wizards... playing favorites...

Is she really Chandra? If not there are googles and flames, i could tell that she isn't. Looks like lady gaga.

Nice card, nice art. Wouldn't mind having this for my deck.

Got two of these, one holo at the pre release. Unfortunately, that was about everything good I got. I still did decent, but everyone expected me to place. I was playing R/G, so I would copy Chandra's Outrage, reclaim it, then copy it again later. Then draw my other one, and repeat the process. That was about all I was able to do, though, and I wasnt able to win a game once after using her ultimate, which I did 4 or 5 times. Not as good as she looks, but still a great pull!

It's funny how people think this Chandra having a base of 3 loyalty counters is bad when JtMS, a Planeswalker that had to be BANNED because he was dominating the metagame so badly, also started at only 3.
And the last ability? Yeah, Nalaar's hits harder, but she can only eliminate things in one part of the field. Firebrand can hit more than one player, or she can hit the biggest threats on the field regardless of who controls them. Using her -7 during the second main phase also lets you finish off anything that wasn't killed during combat.
