Yeah I didn’t think about Abrade , could be better than Annul . Are there many artifacts going around in Pioneer?

Make it 20 land. Add Arclight Phoenix for Stormchaser Mage . Add 4x Lightning Strike for the 2 copies of Spikefield Hazard  Flip and 2 copies of Shock . (You will have 2 copies of shock left over) also add Izzet Charm for Expressive Iteration .

I don’t really want it to be a Arclight Phoenix deck, just want my prowess stuff. Plus I would have to add more discard outlets for Phoenix like Chart a Course and such.

The Stormchaser Mage are gonna be replaced with Soul-Scar Mage if I like the format enough to buy them.

I’m currently at 20 lands with the Spikefield Hazard  Flips. And I think Expressive Iteration is too good not to play. It’s even seeing play in Modern.

If I played Izzet Charm it would replace Prismari Command .

I’ll see about fitting some Lightning Strike s in.

Thanks for the suggestions!

You only have 22 spells, 14 of which are instants, but 20 creatures. I'd probably cut dreadhorde as its less aggro and more of a midrange value spellslinger creature in a pyromancer-type deck imo. Some instants and sorceries you could add are Light Up the Stage , Lightning Strike , ... and actually looks like there aren't many options in pioneer because all the good ones are only modern legal. But I still think you should cut some creatures for more spells.

I usually only run 16 creatures in my Prowess decks but Arcanist is too good not to play. I actually cut the light ups for them but I could see adding them back in. I would cut a couple stormwing though, maybe 1 arcanist. Maybe just one of each?

Dreadhorde has been super impressive so far.

What about Lightning Helix ?? Great 3 damage plus 3 life.

9-lives Requires splash. 3 colors in pioneer is kind of difficult, so I think there would need to be other cards in WUR colors to justify splashing white.

Ohh sorry! I didn't realize the colors! How about Teach by Example ?

And Ionize ?

Teach by Example doesn’t do anything unless you have another spell to go with it then you need at least 3 mana, and you get to copy a Shock or a cantrip. Not really worth it.

And the deck rarely has mana open for a 3 mana counter. You want all your main deck spells to be able to be cast to trigger prowess or Stormwing Entity . That’s one of the reasons I cut Light Up the Stage the first time because you want to attack first before you play it.

Thank you for the suggestions and upvote though!

Have you been play testing this?

I haven’t playtested it myself, but a streamer I came across has been playing it for me on Twitch and we’ve been making changes. I’ve almost got the deck completed in paper so I can start playing it.
