Imagine, early game you got a lot of goblin swarming your opponent, but at some point your opponent should be able to get rid of those goblin ( white got day of judgement, Red got volcanic fallout, earthquake, Black got infest, green can generate at least as many elf and other small creature to clok those, and blue, well blue is blue...)
So what happen when you get stuck, you cast Chandra ablaze, discard 3 card and ram your opponent with all the red instants and sorcery spell that you already unleashed on him. but this time it's all at the same time, other then blue with the new trap that cost 0 to counter all spell on the stack you should be in a good position to win.

The second ability becomes relevant when you play the last card in your hand, and the opponent has any number more than one in theirs.

10/1/2009 - "If the creature targeted by the first ability is an illegal target by the time it resolves, the entire ability is countered. You won't discard a card." - nice that you don't have to discard a card if this ability is countered
@Starkwolf fireball won't work with her ability since its activation costs will become 0 thus dealing 0 damage. For casting fireball from the graveyard you must use something like Yawgmoth's Agenda or Yawgmoth's Will and pay its cost regularly

Wow, card drawing in red! Like most other planeswalkers this card will probably mostly be used for it's second ability, just my opinion though.

Great card but i think Chandra Nalaar's ultimate is far better

I dont see why everyone says she is as good as they are saying. I feel she should be one less mana to play and to compromise 1 loyalty counter to do that if need be. But she is not good in burn decks. There is no point, you can just use your cards as themselves, and in a normal burn deck, by the time you get her out, there is no point anymore.
her second ability is great because it can screw your opponent and help you or just give draw 3 for you.
her 3rd ability i admit is a POWER in a burn deck or similar decks that use lots of sorcery's or instants that can be useful later on in the game.
but the first ability is useless. you can play the burn spells as burn spells, and by the time she is out, you want to finish your opponent off, not play her, in a burn deck.
Chandra is good in a normal deck that if its later in the game, you discard any kind of cards that normally wouldn't burn, and you make them burn spells. and change the way your deck works in a tight spot.
It is true that it c... (see all)

How does her third ability apply to cards like banefire and fireball whose damage is based on there cost?

Pretty nifty in limited where you can have trouble getting 'enough' spot removal. Turning any red card into a 4 damage burn can help finish off the opponent or clear the board of their creatures. Generally her major won't be quite effective due to having very few sorceries and instants, but her second ability is also great - discard/play cards til you've got nothing, then force your opponent to discard and get 3 cards yourself for your trouble (of course, it might be advantageous to not do this if your opponent has less than 3 cards themselves and you're in a dominant position).

this card is amazing. completely embodies the spirit of red.
the only problem is that the CMC is way too high for any decent burn deck. I guess she's useful if the game isn't over by the time you can play her , but you're also doing something wrong and need to take another look at your burn deck.
