Boros Charm is definitely worth putting in. I have been following this deck list for sometime now and I built something very similar to it except I through in 3 Sacred Foundry and a plains to splash white for Path to Exile and Boros Charm. I also have 2 Arid Mesa and 2 Cavern of Souls.

Also I am sure you already know this but it has come up countless times when I play this deck playing Collateral Damage is a lower cost then paying for Mogg War Marshal echo cost, and you get a little BANG too.

Also Blood Moon stops tron.
Sorry for posting so many comments in a row I have very scattered thoughts.

Check out my deck for sideboard questions, Get Bullied by Goblins!. Blood moon helps with Tron. Pyroclasm sucks, plan around it. Save something in hand and conserve a bit of card advantage. Dismember helps with twin. 4 life is nothing when it wins the game. Spellskite also helps there. Use that life as a resource!

ManicMayhem Thanks for your input, and thanks for staying close with my list :). Yeah Collateral Damage is really great with Mogg War Marshal; it's also great with all the extra tokens that come out, and it's instant so I can play around board wipes and stuff to an extent. I'm almost surely going to make the white splash, it just seems the best way to go. I like having this mono red, but to optimize competitive ability, I think a splash is necessary. Blood Moon is fantastic, and I have tested with it in my sideboard with great success. Problem is, I don't own any copies, and it is not a cheap card to pick up. Nevertheless, I will have to eventually.
jasinatael Yes, I have been following your deck closely. It gave me some inspiration already to alter previous versions of my list. Spellskite is one I've been dying to pick up as well, because I could use it for my Affinity deck too. Again, not a cheap card, but ultimately necessary. Dismember on the other hand, I do have, so I will work that in the sideboard.
Thanks, mates!

Magus of the Moon is generally a much cheaper alternative to Blood Moon.
But why Grafdigger's Cage and Relic of Progenitus? Why not just 2x of one of them?

Since you are now playing white think about Rest in Peace in your board instead of Grafdigger's Cage.

Magus of the Moon is easier to kill though. If I'm spending the money, I'm getting Blood Moon. And the Cage and Relic are one-ofs because I only have one of each. I may go with Rest in Peace instead of Grafdigger's Cage, but Cage is easier to cast, especially if Blood Moon is out. I prefer the Relic honestly, since Grafdigger's Cage doesn't prevent Delve, although I wonder how much of an issue that will actually be since the banning of Cruise and Dig... Either way, I'll replace Cage with Rest and see how it works out.

I feel like with your fetches and only having 2 cards that need white in the sideboard maybe cut a Sacred Foundry or two out of the deck? Also for the maybeboard since Piledriver is gonna be back and goblins a bit more popular in modern, be risky with a Goblin King or two as a counter to the match up when Legion Loyalist isn't drawn?

Hey, ImpeyBarbicane, long time no see :). Yeah I have been considering a white splash as well. Due to the decline in graveyard decks in my meta, I decided against the white tech. But you raise a good point with Boros Charm. That's almost too good to pass up. Even mainboard material, as it can be used as a burn spell.
