Chandra, Flamecaller

Chandra's Elemental Bonds

"Only on 1 card before M20, chandra's spitfire, did she have anything to do with elementals" Chandra, Flamecaller from Oath of the Gatewatch had a +1 to create elemental tokens, similar to Chandra, Acolyte of Flame

Saying Chandra hasn’t always been tied to fire seems extremely odd.

Token Name Consistency

"We don’t like to name things that work similarly but slightly different with the same name." There's precedent for doing it, though: Chandra, Flamecaller creates a 3/1 red Elemental creature token with Haste and EOT exile; Elemental Mastery creates an otherwise identical 1/1. It does introduce *some* added complexity, but not in Standard or (non-weird) Limited. It seems like minimal cost to give people something to explore.

There are plenty of other things to explore. Magic is not wanting in that category.

Red Card Ability

Was Chandra, Flamecaller's 0 ability a bend/break, or is red allowed to get +1 card when it has to get rid of its entire hand to do it?

Whether that is a bend or straight up allowed in Red is a big debate in R&D.
