New Planeswalkers

Chandra, Flameshaper

At this point, Chandra Nalaar has seen a lot. After so many battles as a member of the Gatewatch (or as part of her own goals), she is one of the most veteran and experienced planeswalkers in the multiverse. With her astonishing fire abilities, only a few could be brave enough to confront her.

Chandra, Flameshaper, is a Red Planeswalker that will be available for purchase and selection in Foundations. Her abilities offer you:

  • A passive ability that converts gems, and discards and draws.
  • Discard spells to gain mana.
  • Reinforce and buff a nonToken creature you control.
  • Destroy permanent cards to deal damage to your opponent.

Colors: Red

Mana Bonuses: White (-2) Blue (-1) Black (+4) Red (+5) Green (+3)

Kaito, Cunning Infiltrator

With his loyal kami, Himoto, at his side, Kaito has become a seasoned traveler across the multiverse. Alongside the Gatewatch, the Ninja aided the Mirrans in their struggle against the New Phyrexians during the recent war. Kaito is constantly seeking new technologies and knowledge to bring back to his home plane.
