Title: Looking for ideas: Bomb Squad deck

One of the cards I have always loved is Bomb Squad. Primarily due to the hilarious interactions you get with multiples of them in play - with 2 of them in play, every creature with a fuse counter gets 2 more counters each upkeep. When a creature gets to 4 counters, it will be destroyed twice and deal 8 to it's controller. 3 Bomb Squads is even nastier!

However, I have never gotten around to properly planning out a deck involving Bomb Squad. I have thought up a few ideas though.

Anyway, here are a few of the things I have thought of:

4x Bomb Squad (duh)
4x Forbidden Orchard (helps with the mana and in case my opponent is not co-operating by playing a creatureless deck)
4x Dwarven Recruiter (helps find Bomb Squads)
4x Clone (becomes Bomb Squad 5-8 or in the worst case my opponent's best creature)
???x Rite of Replication (more Bomb Squads!)
???x Soul Foundry (even more Bomb Squads!!!!!)
???x Bazaar Trader (in the worst case I can stick fuse counters on one of my guys and donate them before they blow up)
???x Mirrorweave (because turning all creatures into Bomb Squads for a turn is hilarious when creatures hit 4 fuse counters)

So, any ideas? Am thinking of a Blue/Red deck so will probably include some burn/bounce in there too.

Splinter twin?
Kiki-Jiki?

I don't think Splinter Twin would work very well because the enchanted creature has to tap to make the copy, which is sac'ed at the end of turn, so it's pointless. Kiki-Jiki is much better. The Bazaar Trader is a very good idea. And, while we are on the subject of Goblins, I think you should throw in Goblin Grenades. If you use Kiki-Jiki and Bazaar Trader, that's eight Goblins already. For a win-con, you could use Bomb Squad's ability twice or however many times over causing lots of damage, then Goblin Grenade Kiki-Jiki for five more damage. Bing, bang, boom!

Am loving the ideas people are coming up with here!

When I get chance I'll write up a decklist and see about proxying it with my local group before getting hold of all the cards...
