Chandra, Torch of Defiance / Light Up the Stage

Oathbreaker Mono-Red

topazdragon5


Sideboard


Chandra, Torch of Defiance oathbreaker deck that uses Light Up the Stage as the signature spell. Modeled after Mono-Red Burn and other aggressive, spell based red decks. Intended only for 1v1 play. Little thought has been given to the sideboard, we use a 10-card sideboard for oathbreaker.

General Strategy is to play creatures turns 1, 2, & 3. Turn 4 likely play a burn spell to clear the way for the creatures already on the board. If I'm lucky and hit my land drops, turn 5 play Chandra, deal damage to my opponent and play Light Up the Stage on the same turn. Next turn Chandra will likely add mana to enable me to play the extra two cards gained via LUtS and other cards in my hand.

If I don't hit land drops, play like a normal burn deck, with some combination of using spells to clear the way for creatures and just dealing damage directly to the player. Chandra can act as a burn spell dealing 2 damage a turn, or drawing cards, or adding mana to cast the additional cards in my hand or killing a blocker to ensure my other creatures connect.

Any feedback is welcome. Things I'm not sure about:

1) Is my creature / spell ratio good?

2) Is my curve for creatures good? (5x 1 drops, 7x 2 drops, 4x 3 drops + Hazoret)

3) Will I be dealing to much damage to myself via Eidolon of the Great Revel, Zo-Zu the Punisher & Ankh of Mishra?
