Chandra, Heart of Fire

Description

This Magic: The Gathering trading card from the 2020 Core Set 2021 Promos release presents Chandra, Heart of Fire as a legendary Planeswalker. Carrying a mana cost of {3}{R}{R} and a mana value of 5, the card is classified as a mythic rare within its specific promo subset. The design, identified by card number 135s, utilizes a foil finish to distinguish it within the PM21 set code distribution. Josu Hernaiz provided the artwork for this iteration, which centers on the character's aggressive red magic capabilities. As a five-loyalty Planeswalker, the card offers distinct strategic options through its activated abilities. The +1 ability allows a player to discard their hand and exile the top three cards of their library to play those exiled cards until end of turn. Alternatively, this ability can deal 2 damage to any target. The ultimate −9 ability enables the player to search their graveyard and library for any number of red instant and/or sorcery cards, exile them, shuffle, and cast them this turn while adding six red mana to their pool. This combination of card advantage, direct damage, and late-game spellcasting power defines the card's mechanical identity. The Core Set 2021 Promos release includes the Mythic Rare foil card Chandra, Heart of Fire, numbered 135s. The 135s designation places this card within the promotional checklist rather than the standard base set. The mythic rare rarity tier indicates its limited availability within the promo distribution channels. The foil treatment adds a tactile and visual layer that appeals to those prioritizing aesthetic presentation in their collection.
