It's really, really simple to play this deck in theory. Burn all the things quickly and furiously with cards like Lightning Bolt, then use cards like Reckless Impulse to keep your hand full of more fuel. If all goes well, your opponent should be a pile of ashes before they had time to set up anything. You'll want to ignore any creature that isn't an immediate and serious threat.

This deck is inspired by my insatiable passion for Chandra Naalar. As such, flavor is also an important feature of this deck. While some minor exceptions have been made for the sake of utility, like Needle Drop, this deck should generally be focused on burning the shit out of things and being impulsive, raw, and violent.

The only tricky part of the deck is dealing with its weaknesses. This deck's primary weaknesses are creature rush, which you can deal with by swapping in a Chain Reaction. It also hates damage prevention, so swap in Skullcrack to deal with that. It will also be pretty much completely useless if someone happens to have a Witchbane Orb or the like, so you'll want to swap an Abrade in. Jaya and her Pyroblasts are there because I personally hate counterspells, though there are not as big a problem for this deck as they were before. The only other problem is enchantments. Red doesn't have a nice way to deal with those, so if someone uses an enchantment to give themselves Hexproof, you'll have to rely on the Chandra's Spitfire or Chandra's Pyreling to seal the deal, beefing them up by burning your opponents creatures.

PS. Swap Searing Spear with Skewer the Critics if you want to get serious ;)

HEY GUESS WHAT I'M BACK. I made some changes once I discovered Play with Fire is a thing, it's kind of perfect for this deck.
