Deck Description

[u]Basic Idea[/u]
I did stumble upon Wildfire Elemental more or less by accident and knew that it could be an interesting card to design a deck around.

[u]Tests[/u]
I have tested this deck against other pauper decks. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask.

I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

[[Wildfire Elemental]] in combination with [[Raid Bombardment]] can be a pain in the ass for your opponent, but throw in [[Firebrand Archer]] or [[Thermo-Alchemist]] and he's in deep trouble.

I finally had the time to do some testgames (results see above) and thus did some changes to the deck and added a (small) sideboard.
Basically the star of the deck is Raid Bombardment, while Wildfire Elemental is a sidekick, still useful but not nearly as potent.Through the Bombardment you can deal a good amount of damage per turn by only attacking, and the creatures will additionally deal damage.

One solution could be to have other ways of non combat damage to gain the +1/+1 effect.
Something as simple as a fire whip might do it.
Keep the searing blaze though, it's perfect.

I also think you need some sort of longterm creature generator.
I think each color were given a common that made duplicate tokens of a creature. Might have been at the lorwyn cycle.

Goblin Fireslinger was the only common I was able to find that would suite in here. I was looking for something that could deal damage to player or creature, but those where all cmc 3+. Flame Jab with Retrace could be an option, or Lava Dart with flashback
Something like Fable of Wolf and Owl? Only problem is that they are all uncommon or higher.

Reckless Fireweaver
Blisterspit Gremlin
Firebrand Archer
Thermo-Alchemist

My first search damage target playet got nothing, then I changed it to damage all and found these.
There were some more but they were suboptimal.

Both firebrand and thermo will be nice with flame jab and lava dart.
