Arrows of Justice can't be in here since it's white. Cool deck otherwise

First off, Divinity of Pride cannot be run with your current commander. The black may be an optional cost, but it's still part of the cards colors, and can't be run in a boros deck.
It looks like you're trying to stay pretty budget, so I'd suggest Fanning the Flames as a very grindy, burn win condition. If you can find ways to copy with things like Reverberate it can be a pretty powerful game closer. Along with that, having some mana rocks like Sol Ring and Thran Dynamo will be useful to get your commander out faster and build up a competitive late game mana reserve.
Something that you should remember when playing burn in commander is that while single target removal is important, if all your cards go 1-for-1, you're going to lose, because there are 3 cards for each one you have. Removal like Arrows of Justice just aren't going to deliver you enough value to win games. Consider more flexible options like Swords to Plowshares .
You also run a lot of fog effects for not having a ton of creatures. Maybe drop a few in exchange for more consistent removal and some good card draw engines. I heavily suggest Invoke the Divine and Return to Dust . I think you should also consider Sunbird's Invocation to supply you deck with the follow up it needs.
Overall you have a good start, and with a little bit of work this could be a really neat deck. Keep up the good work!

Soulfire Grand Master's last ability uses Hybrid Mana (an either/or mechanic), so there's no blue splashing involved. You could just pay . That's not the relevant ability though, it's the second one that gains life whenever instants or sorceries deal damage. A single Lightning Helix could activate your Angelic Accord. You could also replace some of the other less-fitting bits of the deck with more damaging instants like Lightning Bolt, Boros Charm, Arrows of Justice, Stoke the Flames, Warleader's Helix, Lightning Axe, Deflecting Palm, or mainboarding 4x Fiery Tempers. All of them would be doing double duty with Soulfire GM just sitting on the field.
I'd suggest stripping Lone Missionary, Thraben Inspector, and Wall of Resurgence for 4 Soulfire GMs and 4 instant damage spells.
As an aside, I'd also suggest removing the Boros Signets and Luminarch Ascensions to just triple/quadruple up on the other 3 enchantment spells. With the land you have, you don't need the mana fixing the Signets provide (if those are meant to provide MORE mana for the expensive angels and Gearhulk, Signet does nothing to help that way. A higher land count would be better). The Ascensions work off having a Fog effect, like Angelsong, Ethereal Haze, or Hold at Bay. Gaining life BACK after life has already been lost during a single turn would still prevent Luminarch Ascension from getting a quest counter.

Nice deck! By the way, I think that based on EDH color identity rules, split mana cards with another color, like Arrows of Justice, aren't legal in a mono-red deck. Maybe replace with

LordPanda86,
Makes sense. Please note I've always totally built around Rith and have never done lifegain, so frankly my advice here is probably not that great! But I'm totally intrigued, so here are a few tentative thoughts:
- If you go with more Rith-style tokens, Purphoros, God of the Forge is awesome in that role (assuming you can keep the devotion to red low enough). Goblin Bombardment and Impact Tremors too. Also,Ashnod's Altar for the on the Meditation.
- Without a bunch of tokens though, I like Ancient Runes, Pyrohemia. Fault Line (even with a low X), Arrows of Justice, and Intimidation Bolt
- I'm not sure you'll have enough cards in your graveyard, but Spite of Mogis maybe?
- Rest for the Weary?
- Vedalken Orrery might be good, so you can cast Sorcery spells on your opponent's turn. And Seedborn Muse so you'll have the mana to do it.
- Boon Reflection maybe?
- I love Rith, but you might look at Gahiji, Honored One as your Commander instead. Encouraging everyone else at the table to fight each other may be a better fit for what you're trying to do :-)
