Jeskai Prowess

Modern*

Gruss029


Sideboard


Maybeboard


Budget aggro/tempo built on pumping up and protecting Jeskai prowess creatures. Has to have a super low curve - I'm aiming for nothing above 2 mana here.

Core of the deck
Monastery Swiftspear
Stormchaser Mage
Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest

Seeker of the Way seems nice, not sure if he is a keeper long-term.

Lightning Bolt, Lightning Helix and Boros Charm. If you're playing RW in modern without those, you're probably doing it wrong. Excellent prowess triggers than can clear blockers, go to the face, or in the case of Boros Charm, save your creatures.

Emerge Unscathed has been added recently. Rebound + protection seem too good to pass up.Same for Distortion Strike: rebound, +2, and unblockable? Yes please.

And that's the basics of the deck.


Removal and SideboardPath to ExileWear//tearMana LeakVapor SnagThose can cover most anything.

Downsize lets you block if you have to.


Landbase is funky:I'm playing with the fetches I have, which is unfortunate for these colors.

My ideal setup is one Shock land, one basic, and two check-lands per color. Added an extra RW shock because I have one.

I don't have any of the checks, I'm hoping they are reprinted in SoI.
