I used "Pyre Shaman" in the flavour text of one of my previous card creations,
Trial by Fire. It was too cool a term not to use as the name of an actual card, so after re-examining Trial by Fire, I created a card that shared a flavour bond (first strike and protection from red). The ability was just something that came to mind when I thought of the various things a red shaman might do. Since it was clearly a combat creature, I didn't want to just make it tap for mana, so I found a way to combine its militant nature with the mana generation ability.
