It is kinda a hybrid of burn and aggro which I assume is a big no-no but I feel it has some synergy. The last 10 or so cards felt a bit forced so I am open up to any feedback up to and including scrap this idea.
Some thoughts from a noob:
Deck uses instant/sorcery burn to activate prowess with some quick low casted enchants to activate as well and if used on akroan make some hasted tokens at same time.
Creatures:
Some creatures that feel forced were Lavamancer, Legion loyliast and Bonecrusher. Had some space to fill and tried to pick things that synergized. Lavamancer and bonecrusher add potential to survive / play a few extra turns with mana curve benefits but not sure if that's an oxymoron with a deck like this.
Was considering perhaps Goblin Guide (no prowess or heroic tho) or Soul-Scar Mage (has prowess but no haste and not sure if would work or not).
Also wondering if with Neon out if Rabbit Battery (could beef up a late akroan with it and a titan's strength to give it haste and a token or use on a 2nd turn vexing devil?) would work.
Reinforced ronin? Doesnt stay out but perhaps channel can activate prowess?
Enchanments Missing?:
Would one or two cards like Seismic Assault, Curse of Stalked Prey or Goblin Bombardment help secure a win or get in the way of my mechanics?
Burn / Instant Choices:
Chance for coordinated to target to akroan and first strike +1 is nice on the lowbie hasted creatures while activating prowess. Titan's strength and burn cards also activate prowess with strength adding more tokens possibly.
More Burn cards???? (No skewer critics because of affect on prowess)
Abrade????
Lands?:
I am not sure how to build a deck with good lands. I am pretty new and always just had x20 basic. I thought Den might be a good addition for this deck but not sure if it would tie up mana? Adds more mid potential.
Considered Frostbite with snowcovered rather than x 16 mountains.
Is x20 too much for such a low cost deck? (giving room for more other cards as well)
Thank you so much for any help or thoughts.
I really appreciate it.
If you can explain why some things dont work It'd be great because I might not understand why some things just blatantly don't work.
If you look at a deck like modern burn, it plays mostly spells and less creatures.

I am just getting back into MTG and was looking to play tabletop Modern format at a local shop.
This deck is on the cheaper end but I had many questions if anyone would indulge a noob.
Deck:
https://www.mtgsalvation.com/decks/16155-mono-red-aggro-burn
Would not let me add but also x4 Den of the Bugbear, x16 mountains, and x4 Kumano faces Kakkazhan.
