too slow for the deck although it would probably work for a slower multicolored tribal deck

Consider Ball Lightning it's essentially a burn spell! but if they don't bother to block which they shouldn't, you can fling it for 12 on turn 5

Maybe only 2 Incandescent Soulstoke to add 2 Ball Lightning i mean you already have Flamekin Harbinger and Ball Lightning is pretty crazy

TEGHabibird and 40cal- i used to run ball lightning but i took out for Hell's Thunder . overall, it does more damage, and the unearth is always nice. i do realize that it doesn't have trample but it has flying so i can get more damage to the player instead of to his creatures
Zoolbar- glad to help :)

played a rat deck at a tribal tournament the other day. wish i saw this one earlier. think this would have won the tournament! +1

Amazing deck. I love tribal decks too, but in my opinion, your elemental deck it's your best tribal deck. I will surely run it.
+1 for sure

Sturz- thanks man! appreciate it

got 5th place. was pretty fun. not many people play with the ninjitsu ability so it surprised a lot of people. it was just a small tribal tourney put on by the University of Calgary MTG Club.

I hate to rain on your parade, but you should keep in mind that you cant use Smokebraider's ability to activate unearth, as it only affects elemental permanents. Hellspark Elemental is still a great choice, since his is so cheap, but Hell's Thunder is a little expensive to unearth.

Hmm... That's true... So do you have a suggestion in mind?

I would suggest Spark Trooper . With four Smokebraider and four Incandescent Soulstoke he is easy enough to play, and massive lifegain with Assault Strobe . I would also suggest Tyrant of Discord or Ember Swallower . Early game, swallower can really slow people down, as long as you have smokebraiders for his ability.

I'd work on the sideboard a bit, you don't have to worry about lifegain that much. Spark Trooper would be a good addition to board because of it cost, you only really need to bring it in if you were racing against something like burn. I'm also for Ball Lightning over Hell's Thunder as the unearth isn't relevant in my opinion and, although flying is nice, getting chumped by something as cheap as Birds of Paradise is a big strike against it. Maybe another Cavern of Souls, uncounterable in the face of Remand, Spell Snare and Mana Leak is always nice.

DoctorNightingale- i'm putting Spark Trooper in the side for now. like hasmok said, its good if i'm in a race. as for Tyrant of Discord and Ember Swallower, i feel as if they're too slow for the fast pace deck i'm aiming for.
Hasmock- implementing Spark Trooper and Hell's Thunder into the sideboard. if i find that i need more sustain damage or they have more chumps than flyers, then i'll switch out Ball Lightning for Hell's Thunder. i'm also increasing the Cavern of Souls count by 1 as you suggested. thanks!

I love this deck. I have a similar build. I really enjoy Thunderblust with Soulstoke for a little return and longevity. Twinflame is also a versatile 2 drop that can increase damage if fling isn't enough.I made a green/red variant featuring Liege of the Tangle, Doomgape, and Phytotitan. Lots of fun to be had here. Well done.

I've had some luck with Synod Sanctum with all the elementals coming and going. Stashing a ball lighnting and some spark troopers under that for safe keeping and then popping it at the right moment is pretty sweet.

Right. My bad. But yea, it doesn't fit the aggro theme. :/
