This is my Daretti deck... it's less tuned that the primer, and is a bit more swingy, but I have a lot of fun with it. Comments welcome! I'm slowly buying expensive centerpieces for this deck, like Metalworker. I've removed things like Mindslaver which are really strong in this deck, but not fun to play at all.
Why not run Valakut, the Molten Pinacle since you're mono-red? There are enough mountains in here to turn it on easily, especially if you add Thawing Glaciers too. Glaciers is super slow but helped in my Daretti deck to consistently hit land drops in a color that struggles with draw and ramp.
Why not run Squee, Goblin Nabob as another matron target? He works really well with red looting. Goblin Replica is mana-intensive but is a goblin for matron and an artifact as well.
Shattering Spree was great for me to help keep opposing artifacts at bay and slow down mana rocks.

I can't believe I forgot Valakut, that will be going in. Squee is also a good one.
Also: I definitely thought I had Vandalblast in there! I have to figure out what happened.
Hammer of Purphoros is actually pretty good. It's an artifact and turns lands into artifacts. Haste for your big dumb robot idiots is really nice as well.

Neither Core Prowler nor Feldon were adding enough value to justify their continued existence. Goblin Replica is recurrable removal in this set, especially against problems like Torpor Orb or Tormod's Crypt. Chandra, Flamecaller is here to capitalize on both The Chain Veil and Alhammarret's Archive, not to mention she's great at filling the graveyard.

Trash for Treasure is also a one shot Welder if you need it.
... Trash for Treasure, I don't know what happened. It was in a previous version of this list.

I'm realizing I've either failed to update my lists in a while or I've got cards in there I meant to swap out a while ago but forgot.
