After the release of M12, I bought a box and a few extra packs and ended up with 3 Chandra, The Firebrands and some other fun red cards. So, I thought I'd try to make something with it. Mind you I've never built another deck before. So, I'm here looking for suggestions and improvements. In another note, I'm doing mostly cards that will still be around after the rotation (with maybe just one exception for now). Without further ado, here's the list. Thanks for taking a sec and I hope to get some good suggestions back! GRENADERATE (updated July 29, 2011)
3 x Chandra, The Firebrand  4 x Chandra's Phoenix  4 x Goblin Arsonist  4 x Goblin Wardriver  4 x Ember Hauler  4 x Goblin Chieftain  4 x Lightning Bolt  3 x Incinerate  3 x Reverberate  4 x Goblin Grenade  3 x Manabarbs  20 Mountains SB 3 x Shatter  3 x Ratchet Bomb  3 x Dismember  4 x Vulshok Refugee  2 x Act of Aggression 
Basically the idea I had was to use the cheap goblins to get in quickly, and then sac them with a grenade and reverberate. Use my spells to control the board or go straight upstairs. Chandra's -2 ability acts as another reverberate. The phoenixes are there mainly to do what damage they can or act as a retrievable blocker when I cast my spells. Not sure if this seems too elementary or how it would hold up against any other decks. Thanks again for any input.

I would drop the manabarbs and replace with fling. It'll be another instant to copy and gets the phoenix back that turn if you sac it. Other than that it looks like a fun deck.

Thanks! Here's a question (which applies to both Fling  and Goblin Grenade ): If I'm using reverberate or Chandra's -2 ability to copy those spells, that means I have to sac a second creature/goblin as well, correct? Because it's not just copying the damage, it's copying the spell and everything that goes with it...or am I wrong?

It's copying the spell, but not recasting so you would not have to sac another creature. I think...

Yeah, you're right. I looked around a little bit and found people saying basically exactly what you said. That's great, my deck works a teensy bit better than I thought. hahaha Any ideas for a sideboard? Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?

Combust, Shatter, Metallic Mastery, Burn the Impure, Crush, and Punishing Fire are decent sideboard cards.
Also, Pyromancer Ascension and Act of Treason would fit into your deck nicely.

Well, so far in playing with this deck I haven't ever had a problem casting goblin grenade. I've always had at least one on the board. But you obviously think I need more, so what do you think? Four more? Drop the manabarbs and go to 23 land? If so, which goblin?

I don't know that 2 cards are worth 2 damage. Even with the phoenix coming back. The best target for fling is the titan, but there's only 2 of it.

Teetering Peaks isn't going to be around much longer, but it would work well with the flinging.
