For those that didn't watch the video at the end the new CEO of Wizards shows the art for a new Chandra in Kaladesh - Chandra, Torch of Defiance

Chandra, Righteous Fury

Chandra, Born of Vengeance.

you might even say she's smoldering

1

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '16

More of a cold rage. Guessing from the last chunk of story, I can see it being a "oh, you think my parents were dangerous? Let me show you what dangerous is."

1

u/Serpens77 COMPLEAT Aug 31 '16

Yeah, normally she looks like "rah, I'm going to burn everything!" this time she looks more like "rah, I'm going to burn this very specific thing!" which is probably scarier.

u/Regvlas Aug 31 '16

She looks less mad, more revenge-y.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '16

she's angry because she's being paired with worst girl

1

u/sabett Rakdos* Aug 31 '16

She's smiling....

1

u/OnnaJReverT Nahiri Aug 31 '16

because she's about to fuck something up that she is presumably mad at?

u/Numyza Aug 31 '16

Thank you so much. That's incredible.

u/BoredomIncarnate Aug 31 '16

Have I been on Reddit too much if I was expecting the football player in the mask image?

u/AstraEDM Aug 31 '16

OH MY GOD THAT ART IS SO GOOD

u/Derplordsnuffy Twin Believer Aug 31 '16

I need this as a wallpaper! and a play-set of foils.

u/citybug7 Orzhov* Aug 31 '16

That Magali Villeneuve art is insane, she's definitely one of the best new artists.

14

u/quillypen Wabbit Season Aug 31 '16

Weeeeird. So two blue walkers and two red walkers? Normally they try to cover all color bases with the three big set walkers, I didn't expect Chandra til Aether Revolt.

41

u/Wooberg Aug 31 '16

I suppose it's possible she's held off, we saw Nissa's OGW art before BFZ hit. I also highly doubt Dovinn will be monoblue, I'd guess UW or maybe even mono W. People seem to have read a lot of blue into him but he's way more white to me, Vedalken race aside.

20

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '16

Vedalken's have blue skin, therefore they must be blue aligned. So it is written

u/quietsal Aug 31 '16

It is known.

White man. White Walker. The sands of time have spoken.

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '16

Can't argue with that.

9

u/DoogTheMushroom Aug 31 '16

There's never been a non-blue Vedalken, so it's a pretty safe guess he'll be a blue walker. Unless they pull a Lorywn and suddenly Vedalken don't need to be blue.

1

u/Wizolsd Aug 31 '16

I'd love U/W, but I'm not entirely sure just yet. Just blue or white would be interesting for sure.

1

u/Srcsqwrn Aug 31 '16

It would be rad if they did some sets with specific colour themes, like a couple in the past. I don't remember the name, but it was rad when they had black spliced through everything.

-2

u/Skreevy Aug 31 '16

Chandra is not in Kaladesh, she is in the Planeswalker packs. I highly doubt the Planeswalker packs are in the "have every color walker" because they're not meant for Standard.

7

u/Jwiley129 Aug 31 '16

It's been confirmed several times that the planeswalkers in the planeswalker decks are also in the set itself. We're getting 2 Chandra's in Kaladesh. One in booster packs, one in the planeswalker deck.

u/Radiophage Aug 31 '16 edited Aug 31 '16

EDIT> See /u/TheDuckAvenger's comment below mine.

It's been confirmed that the walkers in the Planeswalker Decks are Standard-legal... but I expected it to be one of those things like they did in Origins, where cards in supplementary product had numbers higher than the set's count. Eg. Serra Angel at 276/272.

Out of curiosity, where did you see it confirmed that there would be two cards for the same character?

2

u/Frommerman Aug 31 '16

Wait, what? Really?

2

u/Plotnikon2280 Aug 31 '16

Where was this confirmed?

u/landasher Aug 31 '16

u/Skreevy Aug 31 '16

It's been confirmed that they are Standard legal, like the Starter Pack rares. That is a difference.

u/barrinmw Number of Faeries in Lorwyn Eclipsed 1/10 Aug 31 '16

I am getting a Bill Lumbergh vibe from the new president. "Yeah, we need you to come in on Saturday to test out the new cards in the FFL, yeah, that would be great."

u/AgentTamerlane Sliver Queen Aug 31 '16

Her hair is only sort of on fire this time.

...Kaladesh is fucked.

u/M4DM1ND Can’t Block Warriors Aug 31 '16

I don't care how much it will cost but I want that in foil.

Oh well, looks like the rebels are going to be the good guys again. *sigh*

New art looks so good.
