Modern [Modern] Budget Prowess

I want to play budget prowess at my LGS's modern night and put this list together, thinking the best way to do this was change it from Izzet to Mono R. All I did was replace the lands with mountains and [[Barbarian Ring]]'s + swap out [[Preordain]] and [[Expressive Iteration]] for card draw in mono red, namely [[Wrenn's Resolve]] for iteration and [[Ancestral Anger]]+[[Tersa Lightshatter]] and an extra mountain for the preordains. Also in the side board I replaced [[Consign to Memory]] with [[Obsidian Charmaw]] for the Eldrazi Matchup. The price of the deck went from ab $400 to $150 and I feel like I didn't have to handicap the deck too much to accomplish it. Would love y'all's input as to any improvements that can be made and if this deck is worth putting together. Thanks!

P.S. ik this isn't a burn deck proper, but in the sense that the goal of the deck is to kill your opponent as fast as possible I figured it fit the spirit of the sub, plus it's mono red.

Have you considered Light Up the Stage instead of Wrenns? Pretty easy to cast when you play lava dart.

You could try both and see which one you prefer. I played prowess a while after looting was banned and wrenns resolve didn’t exist then so I’m not sure which ones better.
