I like it, though I've always had my doubts about Spark Elemental. Sure turn one or sometimes two it's pretty much another Lava Spike or even Bolt, but do you think four is a good option? Beyond that I guess it becomes kind of bad dying to some early game chumps. then again the trample I relevant. Have you ever considered going Mardu/Dega?
Also Torpor Orb kind of makes Vexing Devil weird. Is his ETB trigger better than a 1 mana 4/3?

Mardu/Dega for Wear//Tear sideboard options, and of course Helix and Boros Charm. That's the route I went down.

I looked at those options, but the mana base can become a liability due to cards like blood moon and spreading seas. I was trying to design an elegant and effective deck that could be picked up under $100. Spark elemental is a card I would side board out for post board options. Vexing devil without the ETB is within bolt range and susceptible to spot removal, but it's a goyf level threat for one mana, and the punishment ability sets the clock for a fast win. It's win win really, because it's not my only way to win and it's a one drop. This deck's big weakness right now is bloom titan.

Yeah Bloom Titan is scary as hell. Seems killable, but turn three or four it can just go off sometimes with an unholy hand. I like the consistency though of simply red burn, gets rid of a lot of hassle I suppose.

It's a devastatingly pure form of aggro. On the bloom titan note, blood moon is a solid hard counter. I'm thinking I'm going to drop pithing needle for it. It also helps with the tron matchup.
