Hey guys, I have an aggro mono red deck and I have the main board set at a build that I like. I've been looking at other red deck wins builds and everyone I see pretty much has all burn in the sideboard. Is there a reason for this or is there more of a strategy to build my sideboard?

Burn decks are primarily focused on trying to lower an opponent's life total as quickly as possible and tend to side board rarely against specific threats such as roast for Siege Rhino etc. If it's a standard deck your options are relatively limited for sideboard if it's modern though I would recommend the secret sideboard tech of Dragon's Claw for the mirror match ups (sort of a joke usually better options but not the worst one out there) usually you might see cards like Ancient Grudge, or destructive revelry for affinity, Kor Firewalker for the mirror match ups, Skullcrack if not mainboarded, sometimes Torpor Orb it really depends on the meta and burn deck in question as the main plan of rdw is to deal dame as quickly and effectively as possible you don't usually care to much what your opponent does so long as you can lower their life total to zero as fast as possible.

Can we see the decklist? Maybe then it'll be possible to tailor your SB a bit easier.
Also, if you're going burn, putting more hateful burn in the SB can only help you light the world on fire better.
