Chandra's Fury
The split-damage line is what gives this its character: four points aimed at a player or planeswalker, then a single point raked across every creature that player or that planeswalker's controller controls. That structure puts it in a recognizable family of mid-cost red burn that buys reach into the planeswalker-or-face slot while folding in a token-killing rider, rather than dumping all its damage in one place. The planeswalker mode is the most efficient use: four to loyalty knocks most walkers off their floor, and the simultaneous sweep softens or clears the x/1 chump blockers planted to defend it, answering the walker and its protection in one cast. The same dual purpose is its ceiling. Four to the face arrives too slowly to close against any deck carrying real life padding, and one damage to each creature whiffs the moment a board is built on bodies bigger than a single point. The rate reads as a splashy, creature-light spell: priced to mop up token swarms and threaten a long game's last few points, never priced to compete where every red removal slot is fighting for efficiency. A clean, on-color spell built for a slower red deck that wants both reach and a board answer in a single card, with the understanding that it does neither job as well as a card committed entirely to one of them.
