    OT first :
    Although I've the cards to make dovin Baan work how he was meant to work, I currently use him for a bounce / destroy / stun deck. His colors are making him useful apart from KLD mechanics. Chandra 2 - well, she's running a spell heavy vehicle deck for the arena +node 1.2 in ratc, only because of her mana gains. Tez 2 will become zombie heavy if I get bored of his strategy. Saheeli once again is powerful because of the many options red / blue are offering, and nissa 2..Well , her second ability and some ramping supports can energize the whole board by itself - but without the mythics she's not very useful.
    Question: are you using Dovin and Chandra for their extra mana by color abilities or are the decks you've created able to use their other abilities beyond the first? Because this is where I get frustrated. They are essentially mana cows without any major support from their 2nd and 3rd abilities unless you've a decent mythic.  Not much different from Nissa. I have successfully made decks for dovin but I'm only able to spam the 1st ability for anything good beyond his extra white and blue mana gains.  Chandra I can barely do squat and have more success with Chandra 1.0 than her. Just curious
    uff...different answers, regarding the szenario:
    Dovin:
    KLD: If I don't get the right cards to energize a lot right from the beginning, I rely on his second ability to add a constant stream of energized gems..if I do, I prefer waiting for his third to buff the creatures. The first is only used in emergency situations
    Bouncer: First ability in the beginning until my hand is mostly full, third ability in the midgame (normally my hand is full with spells after some turns, waiting for creatures to bounce), then his first again; I use him not because of the mana gains, but because of the white and blue cards he has access to
    Chandra:
    Mana. I won one time because of her third ability (Nyx + hixus + silverstrike on the board against me), but normally I use only her first to get enough energized gems for the bonus goals in events. Also I don't like rebuilding another red deck for the two events where I need the vehicles
