Luciditycity on Chandra Desk - Cards I like

6 years ago

Hello! I like this collection of cards- mono-red can be really rewarding to play.If you were to make a deck based around the themes of Chandra, Phoenixes and Elementals, I have a few suggestions

Chandra's Phoenix is an awesome card that's very dependable since it has haste. Hellspark Elemental and its friend Hell's Thunder are also great, getting same turn value that you can bring back. The big Elementals in the deck are cool, but Battle Hymn is such a neat card that I would consider going for a more is better instead of bigger is better. I see a lot of synergy between Battle Hymn, Elemental Mastery, and Soulsurge Elemental. Young Pyromancer is also a crazy card. Awaken the Ancient is also neat for mono-red and for an Elemental Mastery play, but I would be hesitant to suggest Rockslide Elemental because you have no sacrifice outlets (and that doesn't seem a theme of the deck) and the card has no kind of protection aside from First Strike. Seems like a slow turn 3, but it could fit it in you'd generated a bunch of 1/1s I guess. Bloodlust Inciter is a personal favorite of mine and AEther Membrane is sick, too.

As for noncreature stuff, what sticks out to me is Abrade, Lightning Bolt (of course), Chandra's Outrage, Dance with Devils, Increasing Vengeance, Firebolt, Chandra's Ignition (if you include having enough big creatures)I think card drawing is very powerful in faster decks, so things like Act on Impulse and Faithless Looting can be nice. If you want more tempo mana throw in Pyretic Ritual too, and the whole deck could benefit from something with prowess.

It might help to know a bit more about your playgroup.

Offhand, I'd say that Skittering Invasion and Rapacious One are too expensive to represent useful sources of ramp. Running a full set of Awakening Zone and From Beyond instead might be more useful (with the latter helping you fetch your Eldrazi). Eyeless Watcher might be a good option for bodies that come with Eldrazi Spawn tokens.

I think Soulsurge Elemental is an easy cut. You may also want something a bit more impactful than Fireball (possibly Comet Storm or Bonfire of the Damned could be good if you're looking for a mana sink).

Do you need to worry about boardwipes from your opponents? If you absolutely need to have some of your eldrazi spawn live for a few turns, something like Rootborn Defenses might come in handy.

I'd be curious to see how Doubling Cube performs for you. It seems like it's probably too expensive relative to how much mana it's likely to give you. But it's absolutely worth testing to see how it goes.

Whatever you end up with here is likely to have some real weaknesses, but seems like it could be pretty fun in the right playgroup. Keep us posted :)
