Crazy hag throwing magic around and causing as much mental as physical agony? This should be a Black card. Named Bellatrix Lestrange, Planeswalker. Painter's Servant is a good combo piece :)
You know, this card is nice and all, but +1 and you have to discard is kinda sad. :/ I don't mind that -2 costs me my hand, but I'd like to draw more than three cards. -3 for discard hands + draw five seems a good place. Not as good as Wheel of Fortune or Reforge the Soul but good enough.
This is a very 'all in'/Big Red card, so if you're going to be paying any costs like discarding, might as well make sure you're discarding a LOT to GET a lot back, rather than discarding a few to get things slightly better than you could get without discarding..

Ultimate should just say "You win the game."

Hahaha... run a deck with a lot of Shocks, Lightning Bolts and the like, discard those to feed Chandra - her +1 ability deals more damage than those spells would do and does so for free. Then drop a Fire Servant and cast her ultimate. Kaboom. Overkill.

@Sage_Phoenix Sadly, that doesn't work as the Chandra's Phoenix since the source of damage isn't an instant or a sorcery -- it's a Planeswalker.

I really don't understand why this Chandra is not rated slightly higher, I mean yeah in comparison to the first Chandra and the newer Chandra's she is a bit harder to cast but all three of her abilities rock. Her +1 is just awesome, and it makes her ultimate that much more dangerous. Granted she almost always gets killed off by a slightly intelligent player but when she unleashes it wins me the game.
EDIT: On a side note I got four Zediker(?) booster packs online and in each one I got her. I now have four Chandra Ablaze!

Toss her and some Painter's Servants in a deck and all cards in your hand and graveyard are red.

The coolest Planswalker card printed thus far in my opinion
(though Elspeth, Knight Errant and Garruk Wildspeaker come close)

Opened her up in my second booster and she ended up being the reason my deck was half-red with splash of black and white. The games I played ended too quickly to put her third ability to use, but that second ability helped against those blue control decks, especially when I had no hand.
