Need help making Chandra EDH deck
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on July 12, 2015, 10:02 p.m. by Valentine35
I was just wondering if anyone has made a Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh Flip deck yet and if it play tested well. I'm looking for some good ideas to add to the one I'm making. Any help would be awesome. I don't have a deck list made just yet but up but i wanted to put some feelers out there to see if anyone has made her a viable commander yet. 2 things I would like to include is stuff with flavor towards Chandra and a multiplayer aspect towards the deck. Thanks in advance.

She's amazing in Tiny Leaders for burn. Dunno how good she'd be at full-EDH though.

Something I thought of that seems to be an interesting idea for a Chandra edh deck is running the dash mechanic. Main reason I think dash can be really good with Chandra is the fact there are some really cheap mana wise dash dudes that you can use to help flip her each additional time she comes out. Thanks to the fact they return to your hand you can stockpile two dash dudes so each time you play Chandra you have two red spells for the two untap triggers you need.

Run Chandra's Spitfire. Even if the two spells you use to untap Chandra aren't burn, if you tap chandra, tap chandra, tap/flip chandra, and plus Chandra, the spitfire gets +12/+0, and swings to bring the turn's damage up to 18. If even one of the untap spells was burn, even a weak burn for one damage, that's game, since the spitfire gets another +3/+0 trigger.

Definitely run Pyromancer's Gauntlet and Pyromancer's Goggles, they are great in both function and theme. You also want the typical red EDH staples such as:
Gamble
Mizzium Mortars
Reforge the Soul
Chandra Ablaze
Wheel of Fortune
Lightning Bolt
Blood Moon
Magus of the Moon
Ruination
Chaos Warp
Aftershock
Vandalblast
Shattering Spree
Red is definitely the weakest color in EDH but you can still make a pretty effective deck with it!

The problem here is running out of fuel for the flames. Run things to help balance that out.
Punishing Fire - you can keep reusing this spell cheaply, but it's a conditional trigger
Hammer of Bogardan - like the Punishing Fire but much more mana intensive (I'd only use it in EDH if you haven't got better options)
Fanning the Flames - high powered buyback burn
Charmbreaker Devils - I'd expect this guy to be a star player in such a deck

Oh; it occurred to me I should expand a bit, perhaps.
Opponents have 40 life apiece. Chandra is unlikely to eliminate a player by commander damage (as she'd need to deal 21 combat damage, and is not likely to accomplish this as a 2/2 with no particular combat abilities). That means she'd need to ping someone 20 or more times to kill them directly herself. For each player.
A Commander game will run long enough that she is in serious danger of simply running out of things to do. That was what my previous suggestions hope to help with.
Hand refillers like Wheel of Fortune, Reforge the Soul, Slate of Ancestry may also be useful.

Chandra's Furious Outrage is my take on a chandra deck. While I don't have all the cards just yet I'm overall pleased with it's performance

A link to this deck would be most helpful.
