Seems legit. As far as other creatures in Standard that you might want to play, to up the threshold of targets; Angrath's Marauders will give Ilharg, the Raze-Boar 12 trample damage. Carnage Tyrant just a nice way to curve into as well, so multiples in hand won't be so awkward. Trample is nice. Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar - I think one of these would be nice as then it creates and engine that hard to stop as you can return it to hand in face of removal. Pelakka Wurm - The life gain is relevant.
For commander I see it as a really great way of protecting against sorcery speed removal. The fact that you get to put the creature back into your hand means that it's not exposed to wraths. This coupled with the ability to put Ilharg, the Raze-Boar 3 cards down, means that the commander tax can be negated.
So with Sensei's Divining Top you'll always have access to him.
The thing is that you don't even need to be putting bombs into play with him, just getting some reusable value is fine, ala Solemn Simulacrum, Imperial Recruiter.., and use him more for the bounce back to hand.
You can use Reality Scramble to basically make sure that you can get Ilharg, the Raze-Boar from the top cards of your library with some of your smaller creatures more quickly. The retrace on it makes it easy to just discard lands to keep putting him back into play.

You can even use your own Oblivion Stone or Nevinyrral's Disk or Perilous Vault and just not commit anything but Ilharg, the Raze-Boar.

But a bomb or two is still good fun, I especially like;
