Breaking Point
Sorcery
Any player may have Breaking Point deal 6 damage to him or her. If no one does, destroy all creatures and they can't be regenerated.

I've tried to make Dash Hopes work a few times, but I've never liked it in practice. I think Breaking Point is a more useful 'choice' card if you want to cost people value, but it's only good vs creature lists. I'm actually a believer in some choice cards, I just can never hit the sweet spot for Dash Hopes, if a spell isn't worth 5 life it wasn't worth my 2 mana, most of my decks would rather do something more proactive, I think in a Rakdos list I'd play Skullscorch over Dash Hopes most of the time, I'm way happier with costing my opponent 2 random cards if they don't want to pay the life. I'm happy it works for you, you give me hope that my 4 copies won't just gather dust forever!
One thing I find people underestimate about Bonecrusher in a list that cares about Prowess is that it's not just a 4/3 that's hard to remove, it also offers you another Prowess trigger when you draw it later, by putting in Slickshot you do lose out on that aspect fwiw, even if Slickshot is probably the stronger card in a vacuum. In Legacy I still find cards that are worth killing for 2 mana, and that one in a million game you care about damage prevention Stomp has your back.

Blazing Salvo, Breaking Point and Molten Influence get a nice boost.
Cave-In > Volcanic Fallout
Blood Oath same set but janky enough to work.

SufferFromEDHD love the creative ideas! Please keep them coming!
Agree completely on Breaking Point. I ordered one after you suggested it because it's so good. I'm still running Fault Line in its place for now only because it basically says "destroy most creatures AND do twice that damage to each opponent". But I may end up putting it in for Pyrohemia.
Molten Influence is a perfect fit card for a spellslinger burn deck like this one. No one wants to play Deflecting Swat and Bolt Bend effects more than I do! I did end up cutting those for ramp and card draw because I kept running out of gas. So Molten Influence would be a great fit if there was more room for interaction. I think decks without Thrumming Stone can run far fewer Dragon's Approach for a more resilient game but I don't mind if this is glass cannon build.
I go back and forth on Dragon Mage! I was just tinkering with it again this morning. I love the upside but hate that it takes a turn to get going. And I also haven't figured out the correct number of dragons. Even in this deck I only see 1 or 2 activations before the game is over, only 1 in 5 ar best see a third. Maybe I'll try it in place of Commune with Lava which also takes a turn to leverage.
Agree that Solemn Simulacrum is a bit clunky. I justified it because Turn 4 robot guarantees Turn 5 Solphim with an indestructibility counter. I'll try out Endless Atlas.
Thank you for sharing!

It's a great deck as it is. I was merely spitballing ideas because it got my creative juices flowing. Only pushback I'm gonna give is on Breaking Point and Molten Influence.
Wrath of God or 12 damage for 3 mana while your commander has indestructible is too much value. So one sided.
Flusterstorm or 8 damage is a hefty tax against the control player.
The rest are kind of meh.

Breaking Point, Browbeat, Blazing Salvo, Molten Influence, Skullscorch the rattle snake cards get a serious boost alongside Solphim.
Expedition Map to get that Valakut.
Gamble get whatever you need.
Bonus Round win the game.
Final Fortune possibly, maybe?
Harness the Storm similar jank to Pyromancer Ascension that has no place in EDH but Dragon's Approach turns it into an engine.

Really cool concept! I have a few ideas.
Blitz of the Thunder-Raptor helps deal with planeswalkers, and might perform better than Chaos Warp. Run Brittle Blast over Thunderous Wrath.
Not sure about Dismiss into Dream. How many single-target spells or effects are you running? I count 6.
Mana Drain over Dissipate: Having resources for damage later is almost always going to serve you more. Plus, it's a great target for Isochron Scepter.
Speaking of walkers, definitely replace Cloud Key with Rowan, Scholar of Sparks Flip. It's straight up better. Strongly consider Ral, Storm Conduit, if only that it ramps up damage with your commander out. Consider Koth, Fire of Resistance as a decent land-fixer (which means you'll draw less lands and have more mana), and Jaya Ballard for simple acceleration.
If your pool is competitive, you could run Back to Basics or at least Blood Moon. This will slow down many decks and give you more time. Adding fetches in your colors (should be 5) means that you can take out 2 islands and 3 mountains and still hit your curve.
Not sure about Breaking Point and Curse of the Swine. Instead, consider Puppet's Verdict and either Winter's Chill or Cyclonic Rift.
Reins of Power and Insurrection could replace Chain Reaction and Incite Rebellion, allowing you to use those resources against opponents and kill them, which would have the added benefit of removing their creatures.
I know you don't want to run any creatures, but Stuffy Doll is a decent deterrent and is too funny not to leave out.

Blazing Salvo seems great. Possibly Breaking Point
Anathemancer reusable Lyzolda fodder with a great ETB

Solphim's Flamin' Hot Burn Spells

Browbeat is awesome. No love for Breaking Point? Wrath of God or 12 damage for 3 is brutal and of course Solphim will survive.
Molten Influence is a narrow but solid counterspell.
Even Blazing Salvo becomes interesting.
