Here is the typical Temur Elementals list based on recent Standard tournament data (last 30 days, 40 decks sampled):

MAINBOARD (60 cards):
4 Flamebraider
4 Ashling, Rekindled // Ashling, Rimebound
4 Vibrance
4 Wistfulness
4 Roaming Throne (avg 3.15, rounds to 3-4)
3 Deceit (avg 3.05)
2 Sunderflock (avg 2.02)
4 Burst Lightning (avg 3.7, typically 3-4)
2 Bounce Off (avg 1.82, typically 1-2)
1 Sear
1 Pit of Offerings
1-2 Ill-Timed Explosion
3 Winternight Stories (82.5% presence, avg 2.82)
1 Thundering Falls (82.5% presence)
1 Cori Mountain Monastery (80% presence)

LANDS (roughly 22-24):
4 Steam Vents
4 Secluded Courtyard
4 Starting Town
4 Cavern of Souls
2 Breeding Pool
2 Spirebluff Canal
1-2 Island

SIDEBOARD:
1-2 Disdainful Stroke
1-2 Pyroclasm
1 Bounce Off
1 Pit of Offerings
1-2 Ygra, Eater of All
1-2 Soul-Guide Lantern
1-2 Beza, the Bounding Spring
1 Sear
1-2 Spell Pierce
1 Ill-Timed Explosion
1 Spell Snare

The core engine is Flamebraider plus Roaming Throne alongside Vibrance and Wistfulness as cheap Elementals. Ashling is the premier threat. Cavern of Souls and Secluded Courtyard give the tribal manabase consistency. The sideboard leans on Pyroclasm for aggro, Disdainful Stroke for big spells, and Ygra/Beza as value engines in grindy matchups.
