Mainboard and Sideboard Changes —May 5, 2015
Mainboard:
I slightly tweaked the mainboard, adding Simian Spirit Guide for turn two Blood Moons and removed some boardwipes. They were just too many and I often found them sitting on my hand for many turns against control matchups. Added another moon to go with the spirits and a Koth of the Hammer
.
Sideboard: Removed the Skullcracks completely and with some other minor changes managed to fit in one more Worldfire and some Greater Gargadons for a funny little combo against slower decks. I can suspend Gargadon turn 8 and cast Worldfire turn 9, while it's still on the stack I can sac my lands to cast my Gargadon sooner and kill him while he struggles to find an answer.
Yup, also it pairs well with Prophetic Flamespeaker'so and Chandra's second ability since I can have a land and a burn spell there to cast right after Worldfire

While mono-red control is technically just burn, I do love the direction you went with this!
What I would like to know is, why only one Blasphemous Act in the sideboard? I find it quite main-deckable, especially considering its great synergy with Boros Reckoner.

One of the biggest problems mono-red might encounter, is the lack of an efficient sweeper that can take out big dudes. I think the only thing Blasphemous Act comes short of killing is Flying Spaghetti Monster (Emrakul, the Aeons Torn). Once you start mentioning the Boros Reckoner synergy it has to be an auto-include in the deck.

Lv70Dunsparce and kameenook, I appreciate the suggestions, I think I'll swap Blasphemous Act with Worldfire from the sideboard but considering the amount of small damage board wipes I run I'm not sold on having another copy mainboard yet. I think removing a Figure of Destiny for another copy in the sideboard might be the best choice though.
Thanks for the suggestions. Please let me know your thoughts on these changes.

Worldfire haha, I approve though, the odds of you having a way to win off one mana seems better than your opponent's.
