Chandra, Spark Hunter — Ride the Emberwave
Chandra, Spark Hunter arrives as a compact enginesmith for red artifact decks and a versatile planeswalker for Vehicle strategies. In play she pressures tempo with a reliable loyalty four starting point and a suite of abilities that turn your vehicles into attackers, refuel your hand when you risk resources, and manufacture a crew ready to punch through blockers. The card works cleanly with sacrifice effects and artifact synergies, and its printed Aetherdrift art shows Chandra straddling a sleek skyframe, which signals the set tone for aggressive, board focused play.
From a gameplay perspective this Chandra rewards timing and sequencing. Use the beginning of combat trigger to flip a Vehicle into an immediate threat, spend the zero ability to create board presence, and leverage the plus ability when you can afford to discard or sacrifice for card advantage. Her ultimate emblem converts each artifact arrival into a pinprick of damage that scales in wide artifact boards. Add this Near Mint mythic to a Commander or Standard adjacent deck if you want a practical planeswalker that slots into both artifact aggro and combo shells. Pick one up and test how she bends tempo in your pilot seat.
