Modern All-in Red; Looking for Thoughts/Critiques

Hey guys,

I was looking through the modern metagame list and was thinking about how many of the top decks are very vulnerable to the common lock pieces that you see in Legacy Stompy decks (of course, Moon, Chalice and Bridges are played in pieces already in certain decks). Then I thought maybe we can replicate what the Legacy Stompy decks are doing.

Obviously, Modern is not nearly as CMC=1-centric as Legacy is, which lessens the appeal of Chalice. Still, all of these lock pieces are killers in some matchups, and many decks are weak to more than one of them. I've played the following in a few competitive leagues so far:

4 Goblin Rabblemaster

4 Simian Spirit Guide

1 Hazoret the Fervent

1 Pia and Kiran Nalaar

4 Desperate Ritual

2 Roast

2 Magma Jet

4 Ensnaring Bridge

4 Chalice of the Void

4 Relic of Progenitus

4 Blood Moon

3 Chandra, Torch of Defiance

2 Koth of the Hammer

19 Mountain

2 Gemstone Caverns

Sideboard

3 Anger of the Gods

3 Dragon's Claw

2 Magus of the Moon

1 Phyrexian Revoker

2 Shattering Spree

2 Sin Prodder

1 Witchbane Orb

The deck has felt so far hit or miss but it feels like it could be competitive. Other than its inconsistency, I felt like it could use a better finisher as well as maybe tinkering the removal suite (I've considered bolts and Skred but I don't want that many CMC=1s in a chalice deck and bolts are pretty bad right now) as well dealing with super fast aggro decks.

Comments are welcome. Thanks!
