Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh // Chandra, Roaring Flame

Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh is a unique double-faced commander that transforms from a creature into a planeswalker, giving you flexibility in how you attack the game. As a creature, she's a decent early beater that encourages you to play instants and sorceries, triggering her ability to deal damage whenever you cast them. Once you flip her—which happens after you cast two instants or sorceries in a turn—she becomes Chandra, Roaring Flame, a planeswalker that punishes opponents for casting spells and generates recurring damage every turn.

Your core gameplan revolves around heavy spell-slinging. Load the deck with cheap instants and sorceries that cycle damage, card draw, and utility—think Lightning Bolt effects, cantrips, and modal spells that let you progress your game while flipping your commander. Once Chandra becomes a planeswalker, she's harder to remove and her passive ability (dealing 1 damage whenever an opponent casts a spell) turns a spellslinger strategy into a slow burn machine. You win through consistent direct damage, commander damage from the creature side, or grinding opponents out with Chandra's planeswalker abilities.

The deck is straightforward but rewarding: play cheap red spells, trigger Chandra repeatedly, and watch opponents tick down. This is perfect for players who love the feel of red's direct damage and tempo play.
