FYI, Tajic, Legion's Edge doesn't work with what you're trying to do. If he's on the field, then Truefire Captain does nothing with Star of Extinction.

And I see the combo potential, but really if you have the mana to cast a Star of Extinction you might as well cast a kicked Fight with Fire, which has the added benefit to being early removal. Fight with Fire also has to option to deal 5 damage to your own Truefire Captain.

But if you're set on keeping the Star, I would cut it down to 1 or 2 copies. Those are just dead cards early game, and late game you shouldn't need to cast more than 1, I would hope. Banefire should be a sideboard card against control, maybe 1 copy mainboard.

I would also recommend putting in some Dauntless Bodyguards. It's a 2/1 for 1, and it gives your Captain indestructible so he can take all the damage and live to talk about how awesome it was. Speaking of awesome, I hope you target your own Captain with Justice Strike, because that's hilarious. And if he has a bunch of counters on him, that's probably a better finisher than the Star - 2 mana, instant speed, and the greatest sacrifice.

Also you probably need some card draw. You're gonna run out of gas, quick. If your mana base is good, then Zhalfirin Void is a good way to set up draws. Mentor of the Meek or Militia Bugler are also good ways to filter through your deck.

Natalbee yooo thats dope Fight with Fire is just like a better Lava Coil im gonna try the Dauntless Bodyguards (good idea ty) and the Mentor of the Meek I tried Militia Bugler but he kept getting rid of stuff i needed. I might cut it down to two Star of Extinctions too. ill update the deck list soon

Sounds good, man - glad I could help. I'm not an authority on deck building, but if you wanna run anything by me, feel free.

Just went 7-2 in constructed event (MTGA) with mostly this deck, thanks pal. I DID in fact use Fight with Fire over Star of Extinction and it won me one game. Other games I won were more burn wins, getting Tajic/Swiftblade opening hand with 2 mana is a guaranteed win. Thanks.
