Idk how competitive that would be.. If you dont hit all your drops perfectly and win by turn 5 i dont see this deck winning

What would you change? I tried to have 4 of as many cards as I could but my collection is full of a lot of older stuff.

Are you looking to play devotion or red deck wins? Devotion plays longer games, where red deck wins is more about being able to hit early and often but doesnt hold up well in a longer game.

Maybe posting this in standard was silly since there wasn't a method...

 Pèrsonally I would make room for 3 {Guttersnipe},{lightning strike} . Just my 2 cents.

I agree, guttersnipe is awesome in spell heavy decks

I would drop some of the enchantments. I would rather play a creature in a RDW than an enchantment. Usually the more attackers the better.  My ratio would be 20 lands, 25 creatures and 15 spells. Some might have differing opinions, but that is where I would start.

i agree trim to 20-22 lands. also, why run {priest of iroas}? you have no white so hes just a 1/1 for 1? do you want to be aggro and win within the first few turns or midrange and develop lots of board presence. this deck needs a plan.

edit: same thing with {towering thunderfist} cant use his ability. if you are considering splashing white there are much better cards like {boros charm} and {chained to the rocks}.

I was trying to find a happy midrange.
