Chandra Tribal deck using Torbran, Thane of Red Fell as the commander to get some extra mileage out of our burn spells and red sources. Currently 27 cards either are Chandra, feature Chandra, quote Chandra or are Chandra's gear.

*** Very much still in the testing phase, but I expect it will make it to the normal rotation of decks ***

There are some that would say it's "off-brand" or a "flavor fail" to not use Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh   as the commander. To that I have to ask... have you SEEN how bad she is without pieces like Torbran or Fiery Emancipation? The last thing anyone should want to do is flood a deck with ways to add haste to a creature light deck or super cheap spells that don't scale well, to try and get her to flip in a single turn. The deck is very much focused on the planeswalkers. Given how difficult it is to flip Baby Chandra, I don't want to be left in a scenario where my best option is to spend 5cmc (or 7cmc) for a blocker after she dies and becomes near impossible to flip.

When the initial starting life total for burn is doubled to 40 in a 1v1? Sure, challenge accepted. When you're facing 80, 120 or 160 in opposing life totals... little pings here and there from something like Chandra Nalaar, Chandra, the Firebrand or Flames of the Firebrand aren't going to amount to much... Throw in Torbran, Thane of Red Fell and suddenly those 3 cards alone + to throw Lightning Bolts or allow me to make 3 instances of 1 damage into 3 Lightning Bolts. Torbran makes burn viable without Heartless Hidetsugu to body myself, and doesn't ever feel bad to recast.

Gameplan: Win with Chandra(s) by burning everyone/everything, or die trying.
