It's an aggro deck so they should be dead on turn 4 or 5 so if your going to add a two drop in I would say add {burning-tree emissary} as its a free drop if you start with double red no white mana so you could also through out a 1 drop that turn also. Example

  Turn 1 {stormkirk noble} & {mountain}
Turn 2  {mountain} & {burning tree emissary} & {vexing devil} turn 2 damage 1-5
Turn3 {cliftop retreat} & {boros reckoner} turn 3 damage 3-8
Turn 4 {boros charm} turn 4 damage 10-16 opponent is dead
You don't want as much required white from the gold cards other wise you could have mana issues with your chosen lands

What about replacing the Cryptborn Horror with the {Firefist Striker}?  A 2/1 1R that decides which creature your oppent has that can't block.  Add Madcap Skills to the Firefist and he's a beast! 

Also, if you choose to run the Burning-Tree, Firefist is a great creature to drop turn two with the Emmissary, because on turn 3, if you played your one drop turn 1, your opponent is now dealing with 3 creatures that can attack while you have all of your mana available. 
You could even swap out for the cryptborn for  {Rubblebelt Maaka} and you have a bloodrush option.  AKA red {Giant Growth}.  IF you add the Burning Tree, and Firefist, and that scenario above plays out, use one of the available red to drop the Rubblebelt on Firefist, or your 1 drop and you are swinging for 7+ your 1 drops power turn 3.

Adding the burning tree lets you drop 2 creatures, or a creature and madcap skills turn 2.  It is a way to get faster.  I'd also probably trade out some of your mountains for Stomping Grounds if you choose to run Emmissary. 

What about running {Legion Loyalist}?  Perfect aggro/boros card.  He works great with a lot of the cards you're playing including the Firefist.

- 1 {Aurelia, the Warleader}
- 3  {Cryptborn Horror}
- 3  {Firemane Avenger}
+3  {Hellrider}
+4  {Lightning Mauler}

Having two Aurelia's will make it easier to draw into but at the same time a second one of her is a dead card in your hand. Basically if you have to cast her you should be dead anyways.
Cryptborn is extremely situational and will usually die to spot removal and he just doesn't fit. Firemane Avenger is an ok four drops but there a better ones. Such as hellrider if you hit your creatures each turn he should be winning you the game on turn four. Also lightning mailer is a great card especially if you draw into a vexing devil late game. They'll let you keep him you soul bind and swing for an extra four anyways.

Hmm yeah hell rider instead of firemane could be pretty sweet untill sept when he rotates. {crypt born horror} yeah I've noticed it's a pretty dead card I kind of like the idea of dropping him for {burning tree emissary} but being as he is my only creature with green I don't think this will require stomping grounds. That one drop someone posted seems very good but wouldn't know what to drop for it, maybe vexing come rotation

{Lightning Mauler} pairs well with BTE. Got two hasties for two mana.

Yeah, you don't need the stomping grounds.  I was looking at the deck like you had Plains in there.   Doh!

What about getting rid of the Spark Troopers and one Warleader for 3 {Legion Loyalist}?   

If you drop the Loyalist first turn, then BTE and Mauler 2nd turn all three have first strike and trample 2nd turn.
