Chandra's Triumph should be replaced, it's IMO not even worth a Sideboard Slot.

Wild Slash is a straight upgrade to Shock , even though it's uses a corner cases of a corner case in this deck.

This deck looks like the Modern Prowess deck, but you've choosen Chandra ToD as top end. I'd play Bedlam Reveler instead or the Acolyte of Flame as a 2 of main and move ToD to the board vs control.

Risk Factor should be replaced with Light Up the Stage as it easily can be cast cheaper.

Recommended Mainboard changes:

-3x Chandra's Triumph -2x Risk Factor -1x Stoke the Flames -5x Mountain -3x Chandra, Torch of Defiance

+4x Wild Slash +4x Ramunap Ruins +4x Light Up the Stage +1x Bedlam Reveler +1x Chandra, Acolyte of Flame

Overall the deck looks like a promising starting point for a pioneer burn deck, but some tuning is needed! Keep it up!

Lots of changes. First of all, Gilded Goose is out for Llanowar Elves , Wild Slash out for Thoughtseize . Mana base shifted to accommodate losing the mana fixing from goose. With Veil of Summer being banned, sideboard has changed to a 3 of Blossoming Defense and 2 of Scavenging Ooze . I'm also expecting to remove Questing Beast for something on the top end like Carnage Tyrant

Abrade is strictly better than Shatter and Wild Slash is strictly better than shock. Nice looking list overall! Maybe take out the PW's (1 of's are too inconsistent) and Bolts for playlet of Chart a Course . Also playset of Opt to smooth out draws seems needed for the deck. Best of luck!

Also, Rekindling Phoenix is just awesome against removal decks. Or creature decks that try to block over and over. Flying gives great evasion against certain decks too. Atarka's command is... interesting in this list. Wild Slash seems good in this deck along with maybe 2 copies of Lava Coil . I would say all red decks in Pioneer should run some Abrade as the versatility it has is too great to ignore. Apologies on the long message... Hope some of it helped

since you only have 1 wizard in the deck, i think Lightning Strike would be an upgrade over Wizard's Lightning . and since you're unlikely to trigger ferocious on Wild Slash , i'd take it out entirely and mainboard the Skullcrack .

Wild Slash can hit planeswalkers; it was created before "creature of player" became "any target". You would chose to redirect from the opponent to a planeswalker they controlled.

DankMagicianD Wild Slash is almost always better, but a big difference is that shock can hit PW's

In terms of improvement, for when you upgrade, I have some suggestions. Earthshaker Khenra is more consistent damage than Harsh Mentor , Wild Slash is strictly better than Shock , and Rampaging Ferocidon is a much higher impact three-drop than Hazoret's Monument . Rekindling Phoenix is very hard for some decks to deal with, and may just be better than Glorybringer in a 22 land deck.
