I'm not sure what {akroan crusader} is doing for you in this deck, as you have very few beneficial ways to target him, and even then, he has little impact on the board and becomes quickly outclassed. I would replace it with something else such as {monastery swiftspear}.

Fiery conclusion isn't standard legal.
Also, I'm not sure what [[akroan crusader]] is doing for you in this deck, as you have very few beneficial ways to target him, and even then, he has little impact on the board and becomes quickly outclassed.

Fiery conclusion was reprinted as an uncommon in Magic Origins. It's currently standard legal.

Don't know how useful it will be, but {Chandra's ignition} is on flavor and seems alright.

No origins cards are currently showing up as standard legal in the database for me.

{Chandra's Ignition} would actually flip her as she deals the damage and you'd get an untap trigger.

I looked at swift spear. I was thinking about the tokens that are produced with the crusader. Gives targets for dragon mantle and Titans strength. Added value to being able to cast three red spells on turn four.

Really nice. Thanks. Pretty cool this will flip Chandra. Extra to the face damage is good!  Prob only as a one or two of, due to the CMC.

How do you fine folks feel about {Infectious Bloodlust} in this build?  Seems like it does the right things... Refilling hands. Could be good with more Fiery Conclusion....

I have bias against being forced to attack, so I lean away from those unless they're super impressive. I'm not impressed.

The issue is that you must first target the crusader with either of those in order to generate tokens.  You only have 8 ways to target without killing it, meaning you may draw only one or two the entire game.  The reason I suggested the swiftspear was due to the high density of noncreature spells your deck runs.

I can understand that.  But something inside says let him die...  play more sacrifice outlets. Collateral damage comes to mind.

I would knock the black out and make it all red. Use dragon fodders, lightning strikes, searing bloods, and maybe some other burn. Def need to add monastery and lose crusader. I have a friend that has been playing with Chandra and it's not hard to flip turn 4

I agree with mono red, and looking at it I would consider {Warbringer} and the dash mechanic with burn.  But definitely {Monastery Swiftspear}, {Lightning Berserker}, and other cheap red spells
