Tuned Mono Red Flame of Keld (Mono Red Wizards) (Standard MTG Deck)

I'm looking for help tuning this deck against a creature-heavy meta. A lot of the decks I played against were running white, and had creatures like Lyra Dawnbringer, Shalai, Voice of Plenty, and Resplendent Angel. Being an aggro deck, it doesn't take long until my creatures are outclassed by opposing creatures, making attacking difficult for me. But I want to make sure I don't dilute the deck so much that it becomes less powerful.

I'm considering moving Cut to the mainboard (maybe replacing the shocks), because I often found myself burning a creature to get my team through, and sometimes 2 or 3 damage isn't enough. I'm not really sure if Hazoret the Fervent is good or bad when the opposing deck has exile effects. It's certainly a must answer. I'm considering Banefire as a win condition to get past a stalled board, or as a higher damage burn spell for bigger creatures. I'm considering moving Fight with Fire into the sideboard to answer Lyra Dawnbringer. Kari Zev, Skyship Raider can make blocking more awkward for the opponent, which is good when it becomes difficult to push your team through. Kari Zev's Expertise allows you to remove a blocker for that turn, as well as deal some extra damage. Glorybringer has flying, and can start to deal with the opponent's board, but is probably too highly costed for this deck. Magma Spray is being considered as another way to deal with opposing creatures. Run Amok and Warlord's Fury are combat tricks that could make attacking more profitable, and make it difficult for my opponent's to know if they have a profitable block. Sweltering Suns seems like a decent board sweeper, but it sweeps your guys as well, which is probably not welcome in a deck like this.

I got the base for this deck from mtggoldfish, but I believe it's been attributed to Daniel Duffee.
