Hi, i'm pretty new in the game, and I would like, if it's possible, to get some advice about this deck:
Creatures: Chandra's Embercat x4, Thunderkin Awakener x4, Creeping Trailblazer x4, Risen Reef x4, Scorch Spitter x4, Overgrowth Elemental x4, Scampening Scorcher x3, Chandra's Spitfire x4,
Instants: Shock x4
Planeswalkers: Chandra, Novice Pyromancer x2, Chandra, Acolyte of Flame x2
And then complete with lands.
I would like to add Omnath, Locus of the Roil , but right know it's "over the budget" for me, so instead i'm using Overgrowth Elemental .
What do you think? What would you change?
Thank you very much for the advice!

I would recommend lightning bolt. It's $2.50 a piece and is much better than shock. Omnath, Locus of Rage is 5 bucks is very powerful. I would also recommend stomping grounds (which are very pricey) or rootbound crag or karplusan forest.

Caerwyn I normally play with my friends, just as you said "sitting around the kitchen table". I'm going to do the deck list, thanks!

bchoucroun thanks! I will take some notes, and add the lightning bolt. Also i'm going to try and save money for Omnath.

Honestly if you're fairly new to mtg and mostly just play casually see if in your playgroup if they will allow a few proxies in your decks so you can play the cards before deciding if $15 a card now is really what you want to buy right now (especially when omnath is 15 right now only because of standard and this time next year it is very likely going to be much cheaper). Going 3 colors alone is probably quite the strain on your budget and Risen Reef is kind of not the aggressive strategy you're wanting, it's value.
This list of cheap elementals can help give you ideas, many of the cards in there you could probably buy full playsets for about a buck.

Incandescent Soulstoke with Mulldrifter and Greenwarden of Murasa .
I'd say Liege of the Tangle in multiplayer is just a big target on your forehead once they know it's in your deck... but if your play group goes full degenerate, it's an option you can have

First and foremost, what format is this deck for? Knowing the format, be it standard, modern, or just sitting around the kitchen table will help us give more tailored and helpful feedback.
It is also helpful if you put the cards in to a deck list on this site, since deck pages do some analytics, such as showing average mana costs and the curve, which can make feedback easier.
