How it works : Chandra, Flamecaller

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    For Chandra's second ability, it doesn't matter if the cards don't go to your graveyard because of a replacement effect. For example, cards with madness discarded this way will still count toward the number of cards you discarded.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You can activate Chandra's second ability while you have an empty hand. If you do, you'll draw one card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
