You have a very interesting strategy, because there is a great number of possibilities with the cards you want to use. Here is a few ideas that may help you: (1) Dromoka's Command fits also with Hornet Nest, you could use it if you want to change to a more defensive set. (2) Adding Mogg War Marshal, and more goblin tokens, could make you use Quest for the Goblin Lord which is also a interesting card, and still thinking about goblins you can pick Tuktuk the Explorer or others much more expensive goblins (for expensive i mean money). But, thinking about exploring both tuktuk, and hornet nest damage triger abilities, also brings Boros Charm, which is also awesome with those two you want to use Zada, Hedron Grinder, and Mirrorwing Dragon. (3) Now, 8 cost 4 cards in your deck may be a problem sometimes in your hand, so i really recommend 4x Faithless Looting, removing 4 of your cost 4 cards.

Other idea is that you should think if it would be a more consistent deck if you choose to use two colors instead of 3. If you have patience you can try to create 3 decks, one with red and white, other red and green, and the red, green and white again, just to see how it goes.

And, if you want more cards on maybeboard:

Crowd's Favor

Lightning Bolt

Thunder Strike

Phytoburst

Hope i helped. Feel free to ignore.And thanks for your deck idea, maybe i try it sometime, it's really full of possibilities.

this seems like a fun take on RDW. I think your mana curve is too high though. with out a lot more scry i think that Thunderous Wrath and Bonfire of the Damned are very inconsistent.

IMO with the direction youre taking this deck it might work better if you dropped the 3+ cmc cards, cut your mana base to 20, and ran some more low cost creatures to give you a bit of board presence. some creatures i would consider are Young Pyromancer, Hellspark Elemental, Stormblood Berserker, Spark Elemental, Goblin Guide, and Kiln Fiend. maybe even some pump spells to go with them like Titan's Strength, or Thunder Strike

If you did that then threw in a couple Chandra, Pyromaster, and a healthy dose of straight up burn spells then youll have yourself a pretty dang fast deck thats able to grind out some longer games unlike the straight burn decks out there that tend to fizzle out if they dont get an early win.

hope that helps out a bit, and doesnt stray too far from your goals with the deck. Im not the best deck builder, but I have been playing some form of RDW since I started playing back in 2005, and I look forward to seeing where you choose to take this deck. Good luck! :)
