Chandra's emblem's ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger.
wotc20 Sept 2016
In a Two-Headed Giant game, Chandra's first ability causes 4 damage total to be dealt to the opposing team.
wotc20 Sept 2016
An effect that instructs you to "cast" a card doesn't allow you to play lands. If the card exiled with Chandra's first ability is a land card, you can't play it and Chandra deals 2 damage to each opponent.
wotc20 Sept 2016
The emblem created by Chandra's last ability is colorless. The damage it deals is from a colorless source.
wotc20 Sept 2016
You pay the costs for the exiled card if you cast it. You may pay alternative costs such as emerge rather than the card's mana cost.
wotc20 Sept 2016
If you cast the exiled card, you do so as part of the resolution of Chandra's ability. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing permissions based on the card's type are ignored, but other restrictions (such as "Cast [this card] only during combat") are not.
