Chandra, Torch of Defiance?
Modern forum

I stopped playing Modern a while ago but I took a look at cards' prices recently and saw that Chandra, Torch of Defiance is now at a very affordable price. I always loved this card and I'm wondering what would the best deck be for her, if I were to build something again?
Should it be RG Ponza or Mono R prison? Something spicier similar to Burn or smthg that I'm not aware of?
Thanks for your input.

Ponza runs Chandra as a 1-2-of often, mostly if they aren't also running Wrenn and Six in the same list from what I've seen. Other 4-5 drops have made Chandra less common in Ponza as of late, namely Questing Beast and Elder Gargaroth in addition to Glorybringers. I still like having a copy in my ponza list, just to have an out to things like a MD Ensnaring Bridge. But honestly the biggest draw to a RG arbor elf/ blood moon deck is the ability to run whatever you want in those colors, so go ahead and play what you want!

If you're looking for a deck where she shines, that's Big Red prison - not that it's a super good deck right now, but it's always an archetype that you can play to moderate success. Here's a recent list.
She's not as key of a card in Ponza, but I think Ponza's a better deck overall - and more valuable core of cards, since fetches will never go out of style. Here's a recent list with Chandra.
