My Pauper burn deck on MTGO

Somewhat inspired by the old green 8-10 land stompy decks, I'm trying to find the sweet spot between the amount of lands and burn spells. 20 lands seems way too much, 18 lands proved to be land heavy as well, so currently I'm trying 16.

Aside from the obvious choices:

Spark Elemental - Having one in opening hand means another 3-damage for 1 mana spell that is a guaranteed hit. Late game they might be less usefull, but because they have trample I'm able to force my opponent to trade one of his creatures and keep doing 0-2 damage. The alternative for this slot is Shard Volley, but it requires running more land

Dangerous Wager - increases my options when top-decking. There are alternatives in Faithless Looting and Wild Guess. Faithless Looting is reusable, but in top-decking mode Dangerous Wager has no drawbacks, while Faithless Looting requires me to wait 1-2 turns and hold land (or other spells) in my hand, before I can use it.

Firebolt - The reusability of this spell makes it an interesting option as 2-off over Incinerate, although I kinda doubt the game will last long enough to ever use the flashback.
