Deck Description

I have been tinkering a bit and decided I might try to build this deck for Modern. However I would love some input from you guys, to see if you got a good idea for optimization.

Card choices:

Archwing Dragon:
Dodges sorcery speed removal and is a nice win condition.

Zealous Conscripts:
Very useful for turning the tide of the battle, the three toughness makes them dodge pyroclasm and whipflare.

Koth:
Useful as a win condtion or to fuel a gigantic earthquake in case of emergency

Chandra:
Mainly used for the ping ability. The card is also useful for making cards as pyroclasm and slagstrom useful lategame. The ultimate is a good sweeper/win condtion as well, but is not counted on.

Flamebreak, pyroclasm, whipflare and slagstorm:
For roasting all those annoying creatures.

Lightning Bolt:
Sometimes Targeted removal at instant speed is needed...

Shattering Spree:
Replacing whipflare vs affinity and is a card I wouldn't want the match-up without.

Tormod's Crypt:
Reset button for a goyf or knight of the reliquary is always good.

Leyline of Punishment:
There are decks out there that likes preventing damage or gaining life. As a red mage we cannot have that.

Deck discussion for MRC (Modern)

I think youre high on your land count. With nothing over a cc of 5, you could probably drop to 22 without incident. Also, consider Browbeat and Magma Jet, both are modern legal and will offer some draw or card quality.

Hope these ideas help. Should you get a chance, please take a look at my Mind Over Matter deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=145831 ). If that doesn't suit your fancy, please see take a look at one of my ither builds by clicking my name to see the deck list.
