So I don't know much about Extended but here's a deck proposal revolving around Chandra Ablaze:

Her mana cost is pretty high but all her abilities are pretty damn nice and her ultimate should win you the game. Also red has plenty of mana-accelerants still available in extended. Here's a rough list designed to get her out fast and do some major damage. I have no idea if this is good or not.
Lands: 18
16 Mountain
2 Spinerock Knoll
Planeswalkers:2
2 Chandra Ablaze
Instants/sorceries: 18
4 Rite of Flame (Mana Accel.)
4 Lightning Bolt
3 Browbeat  (The best I could do for card draw while keeping this mono red)
2 Manamorphose (see above)
4 Lava Spike
2 Magma Jet (Library Manipulation)
2 Empty the Warrens (Alternate win-con if ultimate is activated)

Sideboard:
3 Pithing Needle (for relic)
2 Dragonstorm (alternate win-con)
4 Bogarden Hellkite
4 Ingot Chewer (for Chalice/dredge)
2 Volcanic Fallout (against aggro)

So is this a good start? I thought Chandra's abilities were too great not to pass up. Let me know what you think.

instead of browbeat, burning inquiry draws 3 cards for  {R} then discard 3 at random.  not the best but for most of the cards being replayable through Chandras endgame, might be better than browbeat.  it also hits your opponent making it disruption as well.  

heres a list I would possibly run like yours, just an experimental start all cheap quick effeicient burn

4 Chandra ablaze
4 rite of flame
4 chrome mox
4 simian spirit guide

4 lightning bolt
4 incinerate
4 fiery temper
4 burning iquiry
4 Shard Volley
4 Shrapnel Blast

10 mountains
2 keldon megaliths
4 Deserts
4  Great Furnace

since nothing costs double red except for chandra (the temper is comboed off inquiry for  {R})  16 3 damage spells and 4 5 pointers.  shrapnel blast  may not be the best there but you really only need one to hit after a bunch of 3's.  I run 4 chandras as it is imperative to draw 1 although you may win without her, she is a major factor.

The deck is pretty much a burn deck... would a burn deck randomly play a draw spell?
Ex would an aggro deck play compulsive research if it was in their colors (red), no. It hurts your tempo too much and it is a mis-assignment of role, because if you are playing and aggro role, you win through tempo before the control role can take control of the game. Browbeat is slightly better, as you don't have to discard a card, but the card would be a land anyway, and the burn deck most likely wouldn't need it anyway.

This doesn't count as disruption... Of course your opponent could discard all their lands or spells or whatever and lose the game, but that is randomness which is not disruption.

Also both these are pretty... bad. They are just bad burn decks with chandra. I don't mean to be insulting, but they are both unplayable.

Criticism regardless if insulting is what we need here.  I personally never played any version of RDW except for goblins in extended and legacy and trying to help make a chandra ablaze deck that might work.  The inquiry although not a great card works a bit in filling the yard for chandras ultimate as well as combos with temper.  Not a tier 1 deck by any means- only a theory to see if it can go anywhere with the proper alterations.  What would you make of a Chandra ablaze deck Jewfro? or specifically change from our builds to make them more viable?

Hey guys, I actually made an account just to respond to this thread.
Have any of you considered braid of fire for mana acceleration? it has no downside now that mana burn is gone.
