Oath of Chandra enters swinging — three damage to any target stapled to a permanent that pings each opponent whenever a planeswalker you control enters — for two mana. It's a narrow card that earns its slot only in dedicated planeswalker builds, and outside that shell it's outclassed by direct removal that doesn't require a synergy tax.

Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh
Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh appears in over 70% of Oath of Chandra lists for good reason: the Oath's enters-the-battlefield burn doubles as a trigger engine, and every subsequent planeswalker you land pings all opponents, accelerating the chip-damage clock that Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh is already building toward her ultimate.

Oath of Chandra is a Commander card first and almost exclusively — the repeated planeswalker-entry trigger is irrelevant in formats where walkers are one-of tools rather than a synergy package. In Modern and Pioneer it competes against removal that doesn't ask you to build around it, and three damage on entry isn't enough rate to justify the slot. Legacy and Vintage have access to strictly more efficient interaction at the same mana investment. Oathbreaker is the one exception: the format's planeswalker-as-commander structure means Oath of Chandra's second ability fires constantly, making it a genuine consideration in any red-heavy Oathbreaker shell.
