I have not posted in a while, years, actually. Been playing Modern and Commander, and have no interest in standard now that Pioneer exist (I hope it becomes popular). What do you all think the right way to Jeskai in Pioneer is? Aggro with Monastery Swiftspear and Mantis Rider , or maybe mid-range with Stormbreath Dragon and Wingmate Roc ? How about good old control with Elspeth, Sun's Champion and Sphinx's Revelation ? Which do you think has the edge?
Saheeli Rai and Felidar Guardian is unfortunately the boring answer. Copy Cat isn’t a very interactive deck as far as I can tell. Also probably going to get neutered early on by the ban hammer, to be honest. They’re going to realize that and Emrakul might define the format too harshly.

I think I would go into the direction of Mantis Rider Aggro... Boros agrro has a lot of tools in standard ATM anyway and it seems that Chart a Course seems like it would fit into the gameplan and give room for more spice and help keep blockers off the field.

Midrange. I would run spell queer, reflector mage, thraben inspector, small teferi, interaction, one way to get cheap tokens, smugglers copter, maybe bone crusher giant. Or just go all in on veichles or walkers.

I think Combo with Saheeli and Cat.
