Get into the monk vibe

Prowess is kool using your spells onces is not :( so a decent amount of enchantments that are cheap and return to hand to trigger prowess and also get mana. Was initially Shu yun but I feel Kykar is a better fit however, might swap them around every now and then as they both work in command. Speaking of swaping I would take out Monastery Swiftspear for Mystic Speculation and Soulfire Grand Master for Stormwing Entity as great as swiftspear is the scry is too useful and aslo buyback isn't that expensive, soulfire had a much more greater use in my first build of but not any more and a 3/3 for 2 mana with scry 2 is way more impact full.

I want to add Feather, the Redeemed into the deck but she isn't a monk or jeskai so can't for flavour. Might also include some sages as I have a few enchantment recursion not sure thought will have to test. Elspeth Conquers Death and The Triumph of Anax looking pretty solid. Medomai's Prophecy and Kiora Bests the Sea God seem like fun but not as good.

COMBO

There are some combos in the deck as fun as monks are they don't always get the job done.

Aetherflux Reservoir is kinda obvious what to do. Laser people. I think the jeskai given enough time would be able to build a deathstar.

Elite Arcanist/Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal with your mana rocks will give you infinite mana and spell cast so some big monks.

Boonweaver Giant can search for Gift of Immortality and with Altar of Dementia can sac forever to mill everyone else out.

Hope you enjoy my real dumb prowess monk tribal deck.
