Hello!

If you're here it's either random chance or you clicked the link on my stream!

This is my version of a prowess/kiln fiend deck. Rather than playing Grixis (for infect reasons), we are simply playing U/R. While the deck does have 4 Kiln Fiends (and 2 Nivix Cyclops), it also runs 7 other creatures with Prowess AND Haste that can be dropped on turn one and turn two. Often times you'll want to wait to play Kiln Fiend until turn three (to have protection in hand for it, or to offer it haste) and Cyclops the turn after.

It's a pretty straight-forward deck, where the trickiest part is when to play your guys and when to attack with them. There is some sequencing stuff that also comes with protectiong your guys (Apostle's Blessing and potentially Vapor Snag in the main board), or baiting out blocks and pumping with Temur Battle Rage for value.

Altogether it's actually quite a budget deck, and even without the best lands (ideally 6 fetches, 4 Shocks, 4 Buddies, and 5 basic) it runs pretty smoothly. Instant speed cantrips may often be used on the end of the opponents turn to draw some cards if you aren't in luck with creatures. It's a fun deck and I'd recommend trying it out for table-top or just getting into Competitive.

Cons:

• Weak to heavy creature removal

• Mana curve is low, but important to hit land drops, which is harder in the more budget version

• Kiln fiend and Cyclops don't have haste, so you need to often read them as 1RR or 1URR to swing that turn or 2R / 2UR to protect them

• Apostle's Blessing DOESN'T help vs. the Eldrazi match-up hardly ever

• Again, can be hard to recover from removal with only 15 guys all with CMC three or less - basically every removal hits them all.

Pros:

• Surprise factor

• Fairly versatile game two/three after boarding

• LOTS of tricks for combat

• Low mana curve, so it can come out extremely fast

• Each creature can be very potent

Less Budget:

See Maybe-Board. Basically fixing the mana base and adding your choice of powerful spells (two great "free" cantrips and/or an awesome pump).

More Budget:

• Lightning Bolts can be Shock (hits less, still is OK) or more Vapor Snags

• Swiftspear for Blistercoil Weird or Nivmagus Elemental
