Chandra's Ignition
Sorcery
Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to each other creature and each opponent.

It's a bit pricey, but Exquisite Blood is generically very good with burn effects. If you don't mind a combo potentially showing up you can also use Sanguine Bond, which also happens to love your Commander's Lifelink (and fwiw unlike most decks that just throw that in you are VERY able to burn people to actually win on the spot).
I think if you want to use Manabarbs maybe you should look at more Artifact type ramp that won't trigger it? There are some easy ones like Rakdos Signet, Talisman of Indulgence that can even give you coloured mana, and some like Worn Powerstone and Thran Dynamo that can help keep your Commander on the table. Also, maybe I'm missing a ton of them, but IMHO you should have more artifacts if you want to use a Mox Opal.
Some other random goodies you might like: Maddening Hex (this would be HILARIOUS with some doublers), Chandra's Ignition (if you target something with lifelink remember it's the CREATURE doing the damage, so you can gain a TON of life off of this if the board is fairly full, and it's great with a Deathtouch source like Gift of Doom), Fire Covenant (one of the best burn spells ever), and MAYBE a Rionya, Fire Dancer since you've got all those Sorceries.
YMMV but I love having some small card draw effects in a deck like this, maybe Night's Whisper, Winds of Change, Humble Defector, and/or Phyrexian Arena? I feel like Sign in Blood's BB might be awkward.
It's not exactly 'lightning from your fingers', but Brash Taunter is one of the funniest creatures in Magic, just having the little guy out can make you much harder to attack into, and before your turn if you didn't need to remove/burn something you can use mana you're holding up to pick a fight with the biggest creature on board. It's nutso with all your damage doublers IMHO. One of my favorite interactions in all of Magic is how good Scavenged Brawler is with Taunter, it's the kind of thing you won't pull off often, but if people aren't running enough Swords to Plowshares family effects it's amazing.

Some things to consider:
- Match the Odds - With so few creatures in the deck, you might consider more spells that create tokens.
- Glimpse the Impossible - In general, I'd be worried about running out of spells to play. There are several red cards that exile the top card of your library and let you play them.
- Tumbleweed Rising - Plotting could help you to reach your third spell in a turn.
- Brightcap Badger - Adventures are instants/sorceries, but can be cast again as permanents.
- Chatter of the Squirrel - Flashback is strong in this deck.
- Rishkar's Expertise - Check out cards that refer to power/toughness.
- Season of Gathering
- Thickest in the Thicket
- Bonders' Enclave
- Artifact Mutation
- Malevolent Rumble
- Chandra's Ignition
- Virtue of Courage
- Vivi's Persistence
- Beast Within
- Dragonhawk, Fate's Tempest
- Nibelheim Aflame
- Waltz of Rage

Possible red flag: wouldn’t Arcbond affect your own creatures as well (as per Chandra's Ignition it’s the creature doing the damage, not Arcbond), essentially nuking them because of your own Deathtouch? Unless I’m misunderstanding how the card/interaction works, that is.

Thanks for posting slvstrChung, you know I didn’t even think of that type of card. That’s a great idea, I’m going to maybe board Horrific Assault straight away. That Chandra's Ignition combo is brutal—sort of glad it isn’t Pauper legal, ha.

The only thing I can think of to suggest to this masterpiece is something like Horrific Assault or Bite Down, as these, when combined with the multitude of Deathtouch creatures, essentially read as, "Destroy target creature." I have an entire deck built similarly, with Chandra's Ignition as its centerpiece, but that card's too rare to be in Pauper.

I do understand the inclination to want to keep Charnelhoard Wurm around. It's not the most efficient card by today's standards but it's just neat enough to want to use. I've been tempted to run it in some of my own decks. That's why I mentioned those spells that work with both the Wurm and Kresh. Chandra's Ignition in particular seems like a generally good board wipe to have in your deck and the fact that it gives you a repeatable way to clear the board when paired with the Wurm is a bit of icing on the cake.

If it is a choice between the two, then I think that you should replace the Vein Ripper. Your deck theme runs on benefiting from when creatures die. Vein Ripper is a payoff for things dying, but Butcher of Malakir helps to make things die in the first place. I also took a quick look at your deck and only saw a limited amount of mass token generation, which is what you would want alongside free sac outlets to really get the most out of Vein Ripper.
If you were looking for more ways to cut down on the deck's mana curve, one possibility is swapping out Charnelhoard Wurm for something like Archpriest of Shadows. Although, there is something a little fun that you can do with Charnelhoard Wurm. You can use the Wurm as the target for Soul's Fire or Chandra's Ignition, and then after the Wurm deals damage to an opponent you could get the spell back. Both of those spells could also hit really hard if you happened to have a massive Kresh on the board as an alternative target.
