I'm really surprised Apocanon wasn't discussed. Turn 3 Apocanon, Turn 4 Tarn Darkwalker + other dude tends to add up to some nice early burst damage. With your fairly aggressive deck, you top out with Sek to start bouncing Apocanons to your hand, which in turn lets you bounce anything else back. (like maybe Tarn?) I made this deck, and the issues it has are very rarely concerning coming up with an Apocanon to make the deck run. I had a game stall with this deck once, until I got out the same combination the Varimathras combo did, except I was bouncing Apocanons instead. Not nearly as impressive, but "pay 2, deal 4" is still pretty nice, and the deck has some early game power.
Apocanon has the lovely added bonus of being an answer for Myriam. Can do battle and live, and comes down a turn earlier.
