Keep it mono-color, red. The point of Wildfire is to decimate your opponents mana resources and creature resources while leaving you with plenty of both at the same time. I STRONGLY suggest you put in 4 fire diamonds and possibly 3 heart of ramos's for mana after Wildfire goes off. With that in mind, take out the bloodstone cameos. Shivan Dragon is a nice choice (however not as acceptable as Covetous Dragon was when it was type 2) because it can live through the wildfire. The idols stay in, too, because they are the only other creature that's really needed for the deck.

Okay, for the 16 slots that we can use(Scuta, Terminate, Ritual, and Cameo) we have filled 4 and possibly 7, depending if you wish to use the Heart of Ramos. I suggest you play 2 more Rages, some shocks, and some stone rains(you can choose how much of each, depending on the ramos choice you have).

As for land, I suggest 18 Mountains and 4 Rishadan Ports. The Ports fit this deck really well. The Dust Bowl is only good against certain decks, so if you really want to play it, I suggest you put them in sideboard.

Looks good.
I'd replace:
Shivan Dragon with Scoria Cat
Dark Ritual with four more lands

Land ratio might look like:

2 Dust Bowl
4 Rishadan Port
4 Urborg Volcano
4 Sulfurous Springs
4 Swamp
8 Mountain

you really want a deckt that curves sort of...

Land
Land Port
Land Stone Rain
Land Pillage
Land Cat
Land Wildfire

There`s no real reason to keep it mono, though. Support spells from B or G are ok in principle, prolly B stronger.
2 Obliterate seem good for control matches.

2 Vendetta (Prot:Red guys will be a pain)
3 Seal Of Fire
3 Scorching Lava (Nethers will be a pain)
4 Stone Rain
4 Pillage
4 Chim-'Eric Idle'
2 Tectonic Break
2 Phyrexian Scuta
4 Scoria Cat
4 Wildfire

I`d go the 28 land route for mana, no Diamonds or whatnot. Just lots of land.

2 Dust Bowl
4 Rishadan Port
4 Sulfurous Springs
3 Urborg Volcano
3 Swamp
12 Mountain

or something, don`t ask me - I only work here.

Here's a more consistent Wildfire deck (minus 6th Ed)

Creatures (8):
4 Shivan Dragon
4 Chimeric Idol

Spells (18):
4 Pillage
3 Wildfire
4 Seal of Fire
3 Earthquake
2 Cave-in
2 Tectonic Break

Artifacts (8):
4 Fire Diamond
4 Heart of Ramos

Lands (26):
4 Sandstone Needle
4 Rishadan Port
1 Rath's Edge
17 Mountain

If I'm not wrong, this version should be able to do well....but how is it going to deal with enchantments?

Would Pyroclasm have a place in a wildfire deck?
You could get rid of any combination of Birds and Elves for the price of one 1R spell.
I don't know, good or not?

Eh. don't mind Me.
I was just thinking (this is where I get in to trouble), it'd be good early on since it only cost 2 instead of 6.

The deck that Hellion posted is probably the one I'd play with. That looks like a good, solid Wildfire deck.

Pyroclasm is a very good idea. Even with a Dark Ritual your looking at turn 4 the earliest (turn 3 if you play Fire Diamonds) to Wildfire, that gives your opponent ample time to play rebels and birds and elves and...don't give them the speed to cast Blastoderm b/c you don't have any way to stop it (do I hate that friggin card). Its an easier cast than Cave-In and Earthquake (which doesn't really hurt skies).

Artifact mana is a must, you want a Wildfire as fast as possibly. Not only do the diamonds help you get them quicker, but they help you re-couperate faster.

- Spells 22 -
4 Wildfire
4 Pillage
4 Pyroclasm
2 Seal of Fire
1 Earthquake
1 Urza's Rage
2 Vendetta
4 Dark Ritual

- Land 26 -
4 Urborg Volcano
9 Mountain
7 Swamp
4 Sulfurous Springs
2 Dust Bowl

- Sideboard 15 -
3 Cremate
2 Earthquake
3 Void
3 Tsabo's Decree
4 Boil
