I would take out anything with chandra in the name because they're all bad.

I don't care.
Then don't post the list if you don't want suggestions

He wants honest suggestions. Not troll suggestions. {Chandra pyromancer} is played in some burn decks.
I meant chandra's spitfire too, also he/she was running other bad/really bad "chandra" cards.

What Taysby is saying (forgive me if I'm putting words in your mouth!) is give a constructive comment. "Take that out, it's bad." Is nowhere near as helpful as

"I don't think Chandra's Fury is well situated as the number of X/1 creatures and token strategies isn't high to justify a 4 of in my opinion. Have you thought about {Mantis Rider} instead?"

A deck with 4 cmc cards and spells like {jeskai charm} demand more land than 16.  I would consider 19-20.

I fixed the deck and added four more lands.

You are completely correct, and yah...

I'm not sure about the Ampitheatre... As you do not have any Giants, it seems just like a Guildgate. Maybe run {temple of triumph}?     

Also, this may sound crazy, but {eidolon of the great revel} is one of your best friends. Sure, it hurts you too, but nearly ALL spells played in Modern are 3 or less CMC. So, they hurt themselves trying to play nearly anything! And you may take 2 from lightning bolt, but they take 3 from it still, or 2 if they want to counter it! Also, they have to spend mana And Life just to remove it!

{Clifftop Retreat} is a consideration as well with the chance to come into play untapped.

I thank everyone for all of the great ideas and am making changes as I see fit. Thanks for the consideration!
