True more burn would be ideal. And yes after Theros is out I would like to make the changes necessary. Burning earth is definitely something I'm interested in sideboarding at least. Mindsparker as well.
if you want the young pyromancer in, then you want creatures with batallion effects to make the best out of the tokens
Also, more creatures to play with BTE and as said above, 17-18mountains 4 mutavaults
Sideboard is still in flux and the main probably wants Mutavault somewhere. I can't decide if I want Phoenix or Reckoner main. Also, Burning Earth might not be worth it if there aren't that many 3+ color decks running around.
Here's hoping Theros brings us another 3 damage burn spell, because Annihilating Fire is awful. I could see Lightning Bolt or Volcanic Hammer getting the reprint since they kind of fit in flavor wise...
My suggestions, 3 Mutavaults, Madcap skills to combo with Burning tree, Rubblebelt Maaka is great, definately Firefist striker, Mizzium mortars and Boros reckoners.
RDW is in an awkward spot because the deck and the variants all lose key cards. Without Theros there really isn't a clue as to what state the decks will be in. With the loss of Hellrider and Falkenrath Aristocrat RDW, GruulDW, and RakdosDW/Dos Rakis arein a tough spot.
RakdosDW looks the strongest in comparison to the other versions at least in regards a 4 drop spot being filled in Exava, The Blood Witch.
^Ash Zealot would like a really big word with you.
Pyrewild Shaman is also more suited to a midrange build. If we were really discussing viable 3 drops then Reckoner and Phoenix is pretty much miles ahead of virtually anything else.

With the exception of shock do we have any other cheap burn available to us? I should say direct damage. The RDW usually archtype plays 22-24 creatures and the rest burn that can clear the way or go to the dome. Is annihaliating fire and flames of the firebrand where we want to be?
That makes sense Larry, and the only other "cheap" removal spell is massive raid but that card is very situational. Can this deck survive after rotation without bombs like hellrider and thundermaw hellkite? Its looking like it is going to be tough.

RDW has been the, de facto deck to beat in RTR block for nearly it's entire run. Trust me, red mages will find a way.

Moved to SNCD as it is rotation discussion.

So basically your deck is RTR block + M14.
Theros is honestly needed. in M14 was limited cards that would work ...
I'd run 4x Chandra's Phoenix, 4x Ash Zealot and get ride of the Firefist Stalkers.
Hard to say what spells to add, we won't know until Theros cards are unveiled
Modern: Eldrazi Tron, UW Tron, GR Tron, BW Tokens, WU Death and Taxes
Also, more creatures to play with BTE and as said above, 17-18mountains 4 mutavaults
Consider dynacharge
4x Boros Reckoner
4x Burning-Tree Emissary
4x Firefist Striker
4x Foundry Street Denizen
4x Gore-House Chainwalker
4x Legion Loyalist
1x Pyrewild Shaman
4x Rakdos Cackler
3x Shock
2x Madcap Skills
19x Mountain
4x Chandra's Phoenix
2x Electrickery
3x Mizzium Mortars
1x Mugging
3x Skullcrack

with ash zealot, boros reckoner and phoenix 4 multavaults might be a problem
you guys think that dynacharge could take the hellrider spot (role spot)? i mean, with the overload you could hit rly hard out of nowhere..
RakdosDW looks the strongest in comparison to the other versions at least in regards a 4 drop spot being filled in Exava, The Blood Witch.
4x Rakdos Cackler
4x Ash Zealot
4x Young Pyromancer
4x Chandra's Phoenix
4x Exava, The Blood Witch
4x Doom Blade
3x Mizzium Motors
3x Dreadbore
4x Blood Crypts
4x Mutavaults
That's a rough list.
But nothing compares to the value of Brimstone Volley.
^That is a pretty good post board wipe set of creatures.
Also, the best aggro card we will have will be

Thanks to xeno for the sig and avvy!!!
If it costs 1 its good
If it cost 2 it better be great
If it costs 3 it better be amazing
If it costs 4 it doesn't fit in the deck

Agreed, it should be noted that it works both ways though. Having your guy removed and them scrying into their next answer is equally huge.
