Deck Description

Start blasting enemy's creatures (and keep doing till you got at least 1 Win condition)

1. Win condition:
After getting 6 Mana, play out Chandra, still burn Enemy's creatures till you got Chandra's ultimate and go for it! You should have enough cards in graveyard to kill enemy.

2. Win condition:
If you got 1 or 2 Pyromancer Ascension loaded up with small spells like Punishing Fire, Lightning Bolt or Burst Lightning, start casting Spire Barrage ... 2 should drown Enemy's life total to 0.

3. Win condition:
2 * Elemental Appeal should bring him down to finish him off with 2 other spells you can cast. (perhaps with pyromancer ascension loaded or cast Elemental Appeal to load it and do the other way round)
Important is to wait until he got no mana left to destroy the Token before he attacks or when he has a first striker out (normaly you can shoot the first striker easily down).

4. Win condition (Sideboard):
If he play's white and boards in the Enchantement to prevent all noncombat damage, or has too much creatures with shroud or protection from red, you board in your quick creatures! normally you should overrun him with all these and/or preventing him from attacking in fear, so that you can shoot your spells at him and not his creatures.
(board pyromancer ascension and chandra out when doing this)

Why Magma Phoenix as only creature?
Actually he is pretty good in clearing the board. Enemy will think twice of attacking and killing him when he looses some of his own creatures (and you save your spells) and he is going to come back.
Although he can do 6 damage to one big creature, by blocking him and than going off the board, dealing another 3 damage. Sometimes you should consider to blasting it with Lightning bolt.
Furthermore you will often spend rounds without using your mana. He is perfect for Chandra to Discard him, finishing round and if you got the open mana on Enemy's end step, bring him back to hand to Discard him again.
I wish the Phoenix had only 2 toughness so you can burst it with your Volcanic Fallout, Punishing Fire and Burst Lightning ;)
