Chandra's Flame Wave

Sorcery3 generic manaRed manaRed mana

Half of this card lives in the tutor clause, which does something almost no sorcery bothers to: it searches for a specific named Planeswalker, Chandra, Flame's Fury, and puts it straight into your hand. That is a deck-construction contract disguised as a spell, the two-card pairing built to be found together in casual product where a five-mana board sweep and a follow-up Planeswalker read as a complete red game plan. The damage half is a one-sided asymmetric wave: two to a chosen player and every creature that player controls, which shreds a wide go-wide board while leaving your own side untouched. That asymmetry is the whole appeal of the effect: most red sweepers of this size hit everything or nothing, so the ability to point the burst at one opponent's small creatures and leave your own developed while fetching your next threat is a rare shape for the color. The rate is deliberately soft (two damage clears tokens and mana dorks, not much else), which keeps the tutor as the real reason to run it. It is a straightforward but honest piece of design: a splashy sorcery whose second half exists to make sure the intended payoff shows up on schedule, built for players assembling a Chandra-themed pile rather than for anyone optimizing a curve.
