I'm currently playing a mono red deck as my main standard deck. 20 lands, playset of firebrand, ghitu lavarunner, viashino pyromancer, wizard's lightning, shock, skewer the critics, and light up the stage. 3 steam kins, 2 rekindling phoenixes, lightning strikes, and experimental frenzys, and 3 chainwhirlers.
I've seen the new cards Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion, Tibalt, Rakish Investigator, and Chandra, Fire Artisan. I'm probably gonna put 3/4 Tibalts on the sideboard, but should I put any Chandras or Nehebs in mainboard? If so, what do I take out?
Tibalt is the only card worth playing for now, and he's in the sideboard. In order to replace something in the main, you have to think what it's replacing and if it's worth the slot. The answer is no, Neheb and Chandra don't impact the board very well, especially on the turn they drop. Neheb is pretty bad since your hand is pretty much empty by the time it drops and unlike Hazoret in the past, you actually want cards in hand.
Updating since the last post was a while ago, Dreadhorde Arcanist is probably worth taking a look at, it’s a wizard and can replay spells from the graveyard. Heartfire is possibly another option, it turns late-game Viashino Pyromancers or other small creatures into additional damage. There may actually be some merit in running Samut’s Sprint in the deck, you can use it to send a land to the bottom of your deck and playing it on Dreadhorde Arcanist allows you to replay all of your three-drop spells like Light Up the Stage and Skewer the Critics.

^^^I don't think so. Not a viable strategy.
Try: Chandra, Fire Artisan is automatic. It's immediately a 5 damage for 4 Mana and only gets better from there....her ultimate should read..."Deal 7 damage, draw 7 cards."
Burning Prophet immediately takes my Viashino Pyromancer 's spot. This is the side-by-side partner of Runaway Steam-Kin you be get so much value.

I think I'm missing something, how is Chandra an immediate 5-damage play?

Because your opponent will want to answer it as soon as you play her.
