Chandra Vs. Arcanis the omnipotent —Nov. 4, 2017
I'm gearing up to go head to head against my buddy's Arcanis the Omnipotent deck tomo, wish me luck. I'm still trying to thin the deck down to 100 cards, if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks

I would add in Braid of Fire and Vedalken Orrery. Vedalken Orrery is just a good card overall to make your sorceries be able to do more. Braids of Fire can be sweet with Vedalken Orrery as extra mana, plus Hammer of Bogardan could be brought back in the upkeep, cast in the upkeep, and brought back depending on how much mana is on it. Also, any spells with X in the cost become significantly better if you can cast them in your upkeep with Vedalken Orrery. I also don't see Bonfire of the Damned, I feel like that is a great red card to have in a burn type deck. I understand you are going somewhat chandra tribal here, but Satyr Firedancer is another one I feel like could be a great addition.
A decent tutor for your deck could be Gamble. It will backfire occasionally, but it's one of the only thing red has as a decent tutor.
I also want to let you know that Chandra, Roaring Flame Flip cannot kill anyone with commander damage. The 21 damage rule has been changed to only be COMBAT damage. Unless Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh Flip attacks someone for the damage, you still have to damage them equal to their life total.

Pheardemons, thanks for the suggestions and the upvote. I'll have to look into picking those cards up, I don't have any of them besides the Satyr Firedancer.
Also, I did not know that they changed the rules to combat damage only. That really puts a kink in my scheme! Dwamnit! Thanks for the help...I may have to rethink my game plan a bit here!

Honestly, I'd go a more chandra tribal route. You may not win a lot but I think people will definitely respect it. Plus, there are plenty of cards that can benefit planeswalkers that you can play. The Chain Veil, Contagion Clasp, Contagion Engine, and Animation Module. Personally, A mono-red chandra deck just sounds fun.
Plus, other cards to help double damage. Quest for Pure Flame and Gratuitous Violence (only doubles your damage even if it is just creatures). Some more helpful hints.

Awesome man! Thanks for the vote of confidence. I was mostly building this deck out of pure love for Redheads, but also my buddy has been working on his all blue Arcanis the Omnipotent deck and We are gonna battle royale here soon! Should be fun. Thanks again for the suggestions, and commentary and wisdom!

I'm still a few Chandra's short and a few cards heavy. I need to pick up the other 2 Chandra's still, and the Chandra's Spitfire, but besides that... Does anyone have anything they would cut from my list?? Or Possible Chandra Appearances they know of that I do not?? Please help EDH Tribal Chandra Reach it's full Glory!

Give me time to look this over. I've also got classes and homework before I leave for a Halloween weekend with some friends. If I haven't responded in two days tag me in the comments again for a reminder.
Unless you are possibly okay with me building my version and tagging you in it?

Dropped in to take a look because this is something I've been tinkering with doing for a while and now that the Planeswalker uniqueness rule is gone it's even more of an enticing idea.
Some things though.
I don't believe Madcap Experiment's art is actually showcasing Chandra. I think it's supposed to be a Kaladeshi inventor. Admittedly they look like a redhead to me too so they fit that criteria, and even then don't let me say you shouldn't use them, it's a pretty card, just saying...
Your deck as it stands has 101 cards (100 + commander), you need to trim a card.
I believe, technically, the second word in your deck title is spelled "Homage" not "Omage", but that's more of a nit pick than anything else.
More card ideas: Pia Nalaar and Pia and Kiran Nalaar are cards I don't think I could live without in my version of the deck. You do you, but I wasn't sure if you'd remembered they exist. Granted they don't have much synergy with the deck, but they're decent enough self contained cards in their own right.
Young Pyromancer has a Chandra medallion on his chest and he's fantastic synergy with all the burn spells in your deck. You can only see the details in the zoomed in versions of the art, but I know it's there.

Flyheight Thanks for taking time to Look over my build and make some constructive suggestions, I appreciate it. I have been trying to thin it down to a hundred cards, and having a hard time keeping the flavor while still maintaining a semi competitive edge to it. I'm not sure I really like Madcap Experiment in the deck anyways as it has a high possibility of backfiring on me, so that might just get the chop, especially if as you say it is not Chandra. I did have the Young Pyromancer in the initial build because of his obvious synergy with this deck I'll reconsider him, and as far as Chandra's parents go.....I''m not sure if I have them or not, but I'll consider them. I'm trying to track down the other 2 planeswalker Chandra's that I am missing as well, so I still have a few slots I need to trim out of this deck when I get them if you have any other suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Every time I build my version I don't like it. I feel like I'm copying everyone too much, which is a no go for me. Hope this build brings you fortune my man. I'm probably going to stop trying to build for awhile, but if I ever come back to it I'll tag you in it. Burn everyone down!
