Geist of Saint Traft is one of my favorite creatures. In an aggressive shell using Temur Battle Rage, as well as other creatures with prowess, and you have a pretty explosive deck that can often win on turn 4.

Haven't seen Jeskai Prowess done yet, but I think there's a ton of potential here. So many cheap counters, burn spells, and cantrips. The hardest part is focusing the deck and figuring out which ones make the cut.

The idea is to play cheap, aggressive creatures and then cheap or free spells to pump them and swing for 15+ damage on turn 3 or 4. There is some cool tech here with Stubborn Denial (pumps Kiln Fiend to become a Negate for U), Distortion Strike (rebound lets you can cast this two turns in a row for one mana, triggering prowess twice), and using Temur Battle Rage on Geist of Saint Traft's Angel tokens to get a 4/4 haste, double strike, trample out of nowhere.

Need to find the right balance between pump spells and removal/countermagic, and develop the sideboard (tons of options), but I think it has a lot of potential. It's also relatively budget, which is nice.
