Torrent of Lava
Sorcery
Torrent of Lava deals X damage to each creature without flying.
As long as Torrent of Lava is on the stack, each creature has "T: Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to this creature by Torrent of Lava this turn."

Interesting history, thanks for sharing it. (I'm pretty sure Instill Energy should actually grant haste.)
As a bit of random trivia, the first card that granted creatures an activated ability with a tap cost (thereby using haste without attacking) appears to be Torrent of Lava, which has additional weirdness in that it only grants an activated ability when it's on the stack. The first card that has a more permanent ability like that is Fire Whip and even that has functional errata, moving the ability from the enchantment to the creature. The first permanent to use (almost) the current templating, using text that explicitly grants the creature an ability, is Samite Blessing, narrowly beating out Citanul Hierophants. So now I'm wondering how and why Nether Shadow and Instill Energy diverged, since Nether Shadow, with the same wording, could use these effects then and still can now, but creatures with Instill Energy could then, but can't now.

I like the theme of this! Finally a commander deck I can understand :). What about Volcanic Geyser?
Mirage was actually a great set for this theme. You've already got quite a few of them (including my favourite, Torrent of Lava). Cinder Cloud also exists, but probably wouldn't make the cut.
If you ever create a combined version you'd have access to Savage Twister too.
