Basically, the deck is a token/burn deck that utilizes Soulfire to stay ahead on life and either kill with tokens, or burn out. Anger and Blasphemous to gain insane amount of life, and you can also Boros Charm to keep all your creatures.
Forbidden Orchard can replace any Shockduals imo. If you reduce the amount of Godless Shrines your sideboarding options are also going to be more surprising if the enemy doesn't see any black mana in game 1.
Hmm.
I've been thinking about this deck a lot and think it could be really fun (and if tuned, decently competitive).
I think I would drop the four raise the alarm. They're cute as souls 5-8, but they are nowhere near as good.
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do with Young Pyromancer. Seems more cute than effective to me. His tokens come out too late to decrease the cost of Blasphemous Act. And they come too early to refill your board after wrath.
And finally, I would drop 1-2 paths. They're great, but you have tons of removal already and I don't think they're quite necessary for you (definitely not a full playset).
That should give you nine or ten slots.
In their place I would consider a few more good creatures (preferably some that can survive your wraths).
Also, I would put in a few Searing Blaze/Bloods.
The Firewalker will help pad your life. And it will survive all your wraths - ensuring you can keep swinging. He also is some nice unexpected hate for any decks running red.
Reckoner is just too good to pass up with Blasphemous Act. I would run at least two main.
And the other cards are just value since you can guarantee your opponent will have creatures.
So. Those are my thoughts. Keep in mind that I haven't built this deck or tested it, so take them with a grain of salt. And good luck!

Very good suggestions; I definitely like them. How does everything look now?
I really like the look of the deck. Make sure to tell us how your testing goes.
Looking at it now, I would mess around with it as-is, but be keeping an eye out for whether or not you need a few more sweepers (either in the main or the side). Pyroclasm might be desirable since it leaves Reckoner alive - though it's hard to pick over anger of the gods since anger deals with a lot of problematic creatures in the format at the moment.
Also. One thing to keep in mind is that each Forbidden Orchard essentially produces two mana towards blasphemous act since it creates a creature at the time it is tapped. So Act might be a more desirable option.
At any rate. Let us know how it goes. At some point Id like to get the cards and sleeve this up myself.
I've seen the green splash going for this with hornet's nest for 13 flying deathtouch dudes. Blood artist for practical life gain rather than the obnoxious life you gain after you already cast your winning card (Act). Green also offers access to Wrap in vigor or Natural affinity. And Vizkopa Guildmage is a good one for the splash. Secondary win con. Some thoughts. Chain reaction is also B.Act 5-8.
sorry I totally skipped out on the details of your deck... That's the combo variant. This is a midrangey tokens list...

Giving them extra creatures seems nice in this sort of deck. Plus it fixes your mans.
Easy four-of in my opinion.
And if you're going to go that route, I would probably drop the Lightning Helix for some number of Searing Blood and Searing Blaze. Much more useful.
How did I forget about Orchard? What do you feel I should drop from my lands for it?
And I do like the idea of the Searings, but Helix pads my life total, which is something I'll need for aggressive decks or burn/scapeshift decks.

Was also thinking about running Harvest Pyre as a late game finisher with Reckoner.

If your opponent wants to kill Reckoner with burn, they have to take 3 to the face, or maybe lose one of their own creatures.
