I don't have sufficient tournament data to identify specific Mono Red Aggro lists with Emberheart Challenger in the database. The archetype name matching or data availability seems to be limited for Standard format analysis.

However, I can provide you with the recent tournament sources where Mono Red Aggro lists have performed well:

Top Recent Standard Mono Red Sources:

  1. Standard Challenge 32 (Aug 31, 2025)

  2. ReCQ - Standard - SCG CON Orlando (Aug 31, 2025)

  3. $uper $unday RCQ - Standard - SCG CON Orlando (Aug 31, 2025)

You'll need to check these tournament links directly to see which specific lists feature Emberheart Challenger vs the dragon package. The database appears to have limited granular archetype differentiation for the two Mono Red variants.
