I would minimize the risk of Raptor hitting an undesirable card (such as searing blaze). I would replace all blazes for lightning helixes. Also, play with fire is not optimal, along with some sideboard cards. Consider cards such as roiling vortex, slickshot show-off, barbarian ring
Interesting thoughts. Start with the first comment why side out Goblin Guide against Tron? Searing Blaze can certainly be an awkard hit, but as can eidolon in a lot of circumstances. Play with Fire is certainly not ideal, but it served two roles in this build. Allowed us to lower the curve, and probably has the highest consistency/upside of remaining one mana spells. Burn has long suffered from being too clunky in a lot of draw glutted with two drops and or awkard 3's.
I think there have been a few lists that have tried, but most have settled on either traditional eidolon builds, shifted to the Boros Prowess or have Phlage in the mix .
When you knew what the opponent had in hand game 1, a thoughtseize and the only blocker they had was bowmaster. 100% should of started swinging at that point.
I do believe thought seize was a known card not from hand, but what was exiled from the pitched Grief mid game. There have been a few comments about the lines being bad in that game 1 so I will see if I can walk through a replay of that first game and explain my thoughts a bit more in depth. It was certainly a sloppy mess of a game.
Im just glad you won the game. I think the eidolon was left on your field a bit too long. There could have been a turn where you traded it in for bowmaster and drew a card to try a top deck a win. But was a weird game super abnormal play pattern not just your part.
You should play 2 Phlage titan, the card is good. 6/6 body that lightning helix on attack. Yes is costs 4 but its huge. It seems really good to me anyways. Also i think Phlage and stifle could be a nice combo. Not sure if it works.
In short game 1 was rough to bad. I have taken a look a few times at that game and if i can I am going to try to do a replay of it to breakdown my thoughts each turn cycle a bit better.

also, against Tron, you should have sided-out Goblin Guide

@@mtgnexusred The last thing you want to give to a tron player is lands. Helix helps keeping you alive, despite of eidolon, vortex, and some lands.
Feel free to try:
4 Goblin Guide
4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer
4 Amped Raptor
4 Eidolon of the Great Revel
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Skullcrack
4 Boros Charm
4 Lightning Helix
4 Lava Spike
1 Arena of Glory
2 Arid Mesa
1 Barbarian Ring
4 Inspiring Vantage
2 Mountain
2 Sacred Foundry
4 Sunbaked Canyon
4 Wooded Foothills
SB: 3 Doorkeeper Thrull and/or Strict Proctor
SB: 3 Harsh Mentor
SB: 3 Smash to Smithereens and/or Wear/Tear
SB: 3 Tormod's Crypt
SB: 3 Roiling Vortex
Not even through the first match and I’m already excited. That bowmaster was so awkward. Can’t wait to see how raptor helps.
Raptor is a bit of roulette, but I think it combined with Arena of Glory could be a pretty reasonable route to go.
Cool, was totally wondering why people haven't tried raptor in burn

Felt like you was trying to lose the first game, no idea why you wasn’t attacking earlier on
I was pulling out my for how bad he played game 1

what about a couple copies of rangers firebrand since u are playing more creatures. might allow you to attack through blockers
That is card worth looking at, I will certainly try to work it into the testing schedule in the next few weeks. Thank you for the suggestion.
