I got started on this deck because of how impressive the Jeskai Heroic Combo deck has been in Standard. Obviously, this deck can't actually run Jeskai Ascendancy and Anax and Cymede don't untap anything, but the combination of Heroic, Prowess, and cheap cantrips can still be good.
The idea of this deck is to be quick beatdown in a 40 life multiplayer format. There's also certainly an element of spellslinger to it, with a bunch of cheap cantrips that say "target creature" on them.

You would never guess, at the terrifying sight of the man, that Hunding was as charming a companion as one could wish for.
Would you consider changing your general choice to Ruhan of the Fomori? You could still run Anax & Cymede in the deck. This would give you more access.
If I was going to switch to a Jeskai general it would be Narset, Enlightened Master because she has some synergy with the rest of the deck. Playing blue would probably make the deck better mechanically but it would take away the novelty of playing RW spellslinger aggro. Also, adding blue would mean having access to better cantripping heroic enablers and that would mean I'd have to cut sweet stuff like Formation.

Seething Anger and Anoint seem OK and there are even a few other playable buyback spells that target a creature. In terms of mana-per-heroic-trigger they don't match up very well against things like Sun Clasp and Conviction unless Memory Crystal is in play.
