Ok...Star of Extinction directed at Truefire Captain, re-directed to the opponent. Comments and suggestions are most certainly welcome.

Update: playtesting has shown this to be feast or famine...if everything goes right, you can hit Truefire Captain turn four and Star of Extinction turn five for the win. You can also flood yourself with lands. It’s a bit finicky, but could be a real “what the @$&!” for your opponent. I dropped two lands for a little exploration (Enter the Unknown) and that seems to help a bit. Next time I play FNM, I’m trying it..we’ll see.

Update ver. 2: So, more playtesting has shown that I need to get the green out altogether and put more viable threats/gas in the deck. Chances are I’ll hit Star of Extinction and Truefire Captain together maybe 1 in 4 times...more testing, then I’ll reveal the new deck. Any thoughts or ideas would still be appreciated. Note: this will now be Boros only.

Update ver. 3: So, here’s the new version. I’m considering taking out even one or two more lands and doing more Runaway Steam-Kin. That can get bonkers quickly with the mentoring from Truefire Captain. I’d still love feedback, etc.
