Jeskai Wins deck type, though a few spins really gives an advantage in the mirror matchup with some counter burn. The main weakness is enemy Stormbreath Dragon as the removal in the deck can't deal with it.

• Deflecting Palm can give a huge momentum swing by deflecting a Goblin Rabblemaster, Stormbreath Dragon or burn spells. Very good against green as well.

• Negate keeps creatures on the board and stop burn or sarkhan. In mono green matchups can be replaced with Pin to the Earth or Disdainful Stroke.

• Briber's Purse can completely change the second game stopping the haste and giving you a turn to draw removal. Could win the game if boards stagnate.

• Clever Impersonator can give some momentum in any matchup by copying a banishing light or one of the many haste creatures or even an enemy planeswalker.

The land is more slow which in experience can make the mirror easier to win as you remain out of burn range.

The rest is pretty standard with rabbles and mantis riders.

The sideboard needs work.
