This is my first story deck. I'm still mucking around with it.

I've created it to honour the origin story of Chandra.

---

Welcome to Kaladesh, the home of Chandra Nalaar and her parents Pia and Kiran, where Artifacts abound and Thopters rule the skies.

---

Mechanics

• Synergy between Pia and Kiran Nalaar, Hero's Blade and Thopter Spy Network lets lots of little Thopters be made, which can then be used to attack (allowing potential card draw), sacrificed for 2 direct damage, or used to chump block.
• So many Legendary creatures means that Hero's Blade has lots of targets to attach to, for no cost. I like that.
• Threats can be contained, bounced or trounced using Claustrophobia (one of my favourite spells of all time), Sidisi's Faithful or Fall of the Hammer.
• Sidisi's Faithful can alternatively be used as a mighty fine blocker.
• Fall of the Hammer allows Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh   to Transform in one go, without risking any damage.
• Creatures with Prowess can benefit from all the non-creature spells.

Win Cons

• Overwhelm opponent with Thopters.
• Buff creatures with Prowess or Hero's Blade and hit for big damage. The Double Strike ability of Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest helps with this.
• Direct damage to opponent. Works particularly well if Chandra's Ignition is used late game, or as a finisher.

Sideboard

Still working on this.

• Remove Token interactions and turn deck into RDW?
• Spells that stop opponent Planeswalkers from transforming?

Can't decide whether to add more Control or more Burn elements to the Sideboard.
