It's unfortunate, that fork on a stick on paper sounds so powerful, but in reality she has problems finding a home. One thing that somewhat hurts is that she can't -2 easily. On turn 4 if you play her, you will have no mana left so you can't even fork anything, which means you don't really want to draw her early and so having a 4-of or even 3-of is not advised (and the pinging ability is kinda weak). Slamming her down early also gives away that you likely want to fork the next turn, and so your opponent will go and deal with her with the 1 turn they have (which is surprisingly long enough for your opponent to do something about it). Because of this, Chandra should not be treated as a 4-drop. She's a lategame threat where you may have 8+ mana open, you drop her and spend the other mana on a card for her to fork. However there aren't many planeswalkers who can't play a major role when you topdeck them lategame (maybe chandra ablaze, lol).

Her 2nd effect is friggin OP as hell. I summon Chandra the firebrand, I activate caress of phyrexia twice!!! than use contagion engine's effect(proliferate twice!), you are now up to 8 posion counters. I attack with both of my blighted agents- I win. She'd be great in a infect red black deck I tell you hwhat!! 5/5

Step 1: Copy Mind Sculpt.
Step 2: Feel weird.

Like many planeswalkers, her middle ability is probably used the most. Oh, the possibilities... Imagine your opponent trying to come back from a Sorin's Vengeance or Cruel Ultimatum?

The best Chandra in my opinion and yet not constructed-playable at all. Let's hope for a good one in Dragon's Maze.
