Considering that there's Slagstorm and Flame Slash aplenty in my standard mono-red burn deck, I find it handy sometimes to run 1 or 2. If they have a blocker, it essentially turns creature-only burn into player damage as well. Sure, it's useless if they have a lot of chump blockers, but isn't that what Pyroclasm is for?
Trample aside, I think that it would be interesting to see one of these burn elementals (the Ball Lightning family of creatures) that came with flash or a kicker that damages a creature perhaps-- to give options besides attack when there's no creatures without having to mow them down. I mean, if this had flash, it would be a fun 5 burn at an attacking creature -or- a 5 burn to a player without creatures.
Just a thought.

If you think about it this is either an undercosted lava axe or (on turn 3-5 usualy) a creature kill for three mana. That seems pretty good to me, but there is also the fact that your oponet choses what suits them best.
