Can't find who had this idea so I regrettably can't give credit. Feel free to claim it though if you see the post.

It seems that a deck like this would make more sense with 4 Chandra's IMO. Chandra's Pheonix can also be quickly returned with her first ability as well though it won't benefit from any proliferation.

Well, Chandra works well with the mechanic of the deck, but she's more of a helper, not a main combo piece or anything. Everything works without her, she just makes it that much better. card:Chandra's Phoenix was in the original deck list, but then I decided to incorporate Bloodlord of Vaasgoth and make red just a splash color, and it didn't really fit anymore.
Also, finding two Chandra's is hard, finding four would be a real pain :)

There was an aggro deck featured in mtg website that is Mono-Red which uses: Geosurge + Chandra, the Firebrand + Koth of the Hammer + any fatty crit.
I also tried making a deck using the proliferate mechanic, but more of a control-type. I tried the synergy betweenChandra, the Firebrand , copying Call to Mind , and returning 1 Call to Mind in GY and another card(best is a proliferate card). Its a softlock on the latter stages of the game.

The best deck idea I've seen so far built around her is Bloodthrist Proliferation. The idea is her first ability activates bloodthirst and then her second ability copies a proliferation instant/sorcery, giving all your creatures additional counters and resulting in no net counter loss for herself. Also refills your hand if you do it with card:Tezzeret's Gambit. Also card:Sorin's Vengeance is an instant finisher with her. Thus a good idea is UB Bloodthirst deck with card:Sorin's Vengeance built in as well as 4 card:Tezzeret's Gambit and some Volt Charge s and Grim Affliction s or Spread the Sickness s for proliferation.
