I've decided to try this deck with one more Mountain and one less Island based on the comments here and matches I've played.

It seems to be working OK.

What do you think of Molten Vortex in case of flooding bc luck can screw us all. It's repeatable burn to creatures and players

Aren't you a bit dependent on Break Through the Line? What happens with a game where you don't draw it at all?

It is a very important part of this deck. No doubt.

However, I am easily able to win without it by burning all Opponent Creatures out of the way then hitting with my Prowess Creatures.

In fact, that's usually how I win games.

I would add jori end diver, jace vyrn's prodigy to he mix maybe add black for murderous cut, painful truths and Kolagahns command

Jori En, Ruin Diver was in this deck but did not work.

Really? I guess Jori En sounds good in theory then

It might be great in a different deck.

I have a better draw engine with Jhessian Thief and Jori En, Ruin Diver not having Prowess was actually a draw back.

I love this deck!

I have an izzet prowess deck, but I have things like Slip Through Space and Titan's Strength in there... I intend to test it with more removal though...

PS: Out of curiosity, and assuming you keep this deck post-rotation, what do you intend to use to replace Monastery Swiftspear? Have you considered Reckless Bushwhacker?

Each new expansion I make a new deck and rarely play my old ones.

I have an Allies deck that is still Standard legal that I haven't touched since I made this one.

The local meta moves on, and so do I.

This is not the same Izzet Prowess deck which everybody else has. Reckless Bushwhacker has no place here.

Once Monastery Swiftspear goes it will RIP.

Glad you like the build.

I'd suggest some 1 mana cantrips like Slip Through Space and Expedite

Ausar those cards are used in the deck which runs Reckless Bushwhacker. You need them to be able to play the Goblin for its surge cost.

This is not that deck.

I have no need of them as I have constant access to Haste, and the ability to make my Creatures Unblockable, using Break Through the Line.

I also get a lot more draw than those cards would give me, due to Jhessian Thief.

Just read about that guy who says the card names wrong... I can't stand it when people do that! Some guy at my LGS keeps trying to trade for my 'Nicola Balas'... :(

Argy says... #18

xavrr you just made me lol for real.

I didn't think people ever read my match write ups. They are more so I can go back and relive the games.

Nicola Balas, hey? That is obviously a female cousin of some dragon, Nicol ... something, something. It will come to me.

Heh.

:)

I think she's the cousin of Nicholas Bolas...

March 12, 2016 2:30 p.m.

Argy says... #20

That's it, you've done it now.

From here on in I'm calling him Nicholas Bolas.

Or I might even shorten it to Tricky Nicky.

I sincerely apologise :)

This looks like a great deck idea and you seem very responsive and active with comment response, which I respect a lot! +1!

Argy says... #23

Thanks JASskaters

This deck is as fun as hell to pilot.

FierceTierce says... #24

Any plans for post rotation?

March 26, 2016 4:47 p.m.

Argy says... #25

Nah, FierceTierce.

With Break Through the Line, Monastery Swiftspear, and Jeskai Elder gone, this deck loses all its teeth.
