its a good card and its a red aggro staple

I ran abbot in mono red burn, it was great for stoke spells, and getting me low drop burns...you should never, ever, play an abbot t2, just an FYI...maybe learn to pilot cards properly, and I'll listen, and I had already put gift of tusks in maybe board before your comments, a turn faster than dance. And kytheon is wrong color for izzet lol

Lol, your just mad that this deck whooped your ass around the block. Your suggestions were not suggestions. They are ideas on different decks, and abbot isn't here for any reason it doesn't matter. This deck is fun. And wins a lot.

omg you guys are so stupid lol whatever play your shitty decks i dont care i just dont want other to play shitty decks too

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/26-01-16-jeskai-aggro/

i just made this right now and its a lot better than this. thers probably a better list than the one i made but at least im not running sage jori en and shu yun

So why do you say it is shitty. What part...OTHER than it not running abbot makes this deck bad?

i just said it. jori en is mediocre and slow, shu yun costs too much to cat and costs too much to be useful, disperse can be dead in ur hand, you dont need sure strike, you should probably be running the dispels in the sideboard and some disdainful strokes in the sideboard and put some wild slashs mainboard. if you refuse ro run jeskai then u should be running zurgo and abbot, maybe even lightning berserker. comparative analysis is kinda shitty and gambit is also really bad there are better options for trying to punch through and there are better option for getting rid of tokens if thats the raeson why its there

and yes you can make just a red/blue aggro deck but not with a lot of the cards in the list. swiftspear, zurgo, abbot, stormchaser, dance of the skywise, titans strength wild slash firecraft , dispel and strokes in the sideboard stuff like that. not shu yun jori en disperse send to sleep gambit and a slew of other mediocre cards. http://www.mtggoldfish.com/format-staples/standardlook 3rd most played card in standard is abbot

just a comment about the christmas-land remark, it actually isn't that much of an unlikely scenario to finish someone off with a temur battle rage combo in this deck, though it is extremely susceptible to instant removal or dispels, there are 9 cards that give +3 strength, though 5 of them require 2 mana to activate so will have to wait at the least until t4 for the combo. And there are 6 cards that can give double strike to a creature as a combo with these cards (2 Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest and 4 Temur Battle Rages) which means it's not that unlikely to draw into a deadly combination of cards. though Shu Yun needs to have someone getting through and 3 red mana-sources as well.

I personally prefer Abbot of Keral Keep over Jeskai Sage as well (more aggressive and way better in late game), even as a t2 drop, but there are arguments for the opposite. I decided that I would change it when building this deck doesn't require Glyax to change it here.

Also suggesting to splash another color is fine, but one should announce it better and make sure the suggestion fits in the overall plan of the deck.

Cncfreak all your doing is selling the statements of others and trying to sound like you know what your talking about as if you invented the deck magic prints alot of cards for alot of players this deck works as is and if you would like to find out come to an fnm and handle the deck... Dnt forget to top while your there thanx

im telling him to drop the bad cards and put in the good cards that exist in standard like thats literally it zurgo and abbot arent even expensive

This deck still runs Comparitive Analysis ? which reminds me I asked this before and it apparently got lost in the comments since I didn't get an answer, so I'll be repeating it here for a sec: Since you no longer play Day's Undoing, how about Treasure Cruise ?

Also speaking about sideboard and to come back on the subject of siding against control, negate and disdainful stroke are probably the best way to deal with them. then playing some creatures and holding up counters whenever you can. at other times you should just bash with pump spells. if your opponent plays wipes, refrain from over-committing and use up your +3 power pump spells before the 4th turn. leaving open spells on t3 could work against cards like Return of Kozilek or Flaying Tendrils as well.

giving my completely biased opinion I would also not play Jori En, Ruin Diver if I wasn't using cantrips and I already said that I thought the Dispels were too slow for this deck, but Shu Yun can be incredibly dangerous, though he is also a risky investment, I still think his potential makes him worth a 2 off.

This deck reminds me a lot of the deck that I made called 8-spear does the brute strengths do a lot because if so that could be a good addition.

Thanks all for the atually intelligent and informed comments. aric_haldan I put in comparative analysis to see how it would work instead of tcruise, to see if a t4 instant speed draw would work better than tcruise, but don't worry I do have some cruises set aside in case I prefer those.

sage123redwood the trample from the brute strengths is nice, keeps a 1/1 scion from blocking and ruining a potentially strong pump

thanks for calling my comment intelligent and informed :D it made me feel special :p (at least I hope that comment was directed at me as well)

On another note, a friend of mine is going to build an izzet prowess aggro as well and he had what I thought was an interesting idea; You could perhaps try playing Magmatic Insight in the deck. It works as a filter and prowess trigger when you have drawn more than enough lands and it thins down your deck, making the combo part more consistent. He was going to play less pump and more burn and cantrips than your deck does though.

Lol yes you were one of the ones I was referring to as intelligent ha-ha. And Ive thought about it before, it is a two for two trade, and gets rid of extra land, but at the same time, I can use land in my hand to keep my opponent on edge, of use excess to pay for pumps off of shu, or to awaken my man lands

yeah it's hard to know exactly what effect it will have on the deck, but I do find it an interesting possibility, especially because it can draw into more pump spells. I'll let you know how it does in my friend's deck.

Also this deck is damn hyped !

Lol it is currently number 3 on tapped out, it is pretty crazy haha, lot of people trying to find the most effective ways to run izzet, a lot of potential in standard for it right now

yes so I've seen :p I personally prefer a jeskai variant with Jeskai Ascendancy and lots of cantrips, but there is definitely a higher demand for izzet prowess :D

I think that is mainly because people want to abuse stormchasers, and also because if the izzet deck goes off right, it is hands down faster than jeskai, jeskai is just more tried and tested right now

I would love to see just one Zada, Hedron Grinder in here though

Frog, I personally don't think zada will work for me. That being said, I challenge you to find a way to get one to work for you :) maybe use some early mana ramp or mana dorks to make it payable a turn earlier, or so you can pump the moment you play it?

Zada is like a utopia, it'd be great if it was in place, but it just isn't realistic :p

if anyone's interested, I wanted to try out zada + manadorks before and Glyax mentioning it made me want to to put together that kind of deck. It works fairly well, though I think there are a lot, more consistent decks than this one :p also wondering whether I should put in Expedite and if so what to switch out. anyway here's the deck:

Have you thought about Consuming Sinkhole ? I feel like it can be very powerfull against the manlands and 4 to the face at instant speed is also nice. The cost is very high with 4 cmc tho so I'm not sure if it's a card to play or not.
