Unlisted Aggro decks:

Bant Control:

-2 Pillar of Flame

-2 Searing Spear

+4 Hinterland Hermit

+3 Dynacharge

Bant control is probably your worst matchup, I just checked some lists and every card in that deck seems to be really hard for red to deal with.  Zombies matchup shouldn't be too bad, most of the creature-light control decks shouldn't be too bad after you board into your hyper-aggressive strategy. 

Any major matchups I missed will probably be something along the lines of:

Do they play Restoration Angel? Board in some amount of Thunderbolts

Are they aggro? Board out Reckless Waif, board in removal.

Are they control? Board out Flames and other weaker damage spells, board in aggressive creatures.
