That clowncar of top-end threats seems hard for a midrange deck to beat. Also interesting to see the new Chandra out of the jeskai deck.

The cheapest on tcg player currently is 15.50. Plenty up for less than 18 bucks. Mid is about 19. Its all going to depend on if it shows up being a 2-4 of in tron and if tron is well positioned. Hell, it could spike like a bitch if the g/r ramp wins day two standard tomorrow.

If that 9-0 guy goes the whole way they are going through the roof. I'm surprised there isn't a GR version in modern.

That 9th round also highlighted just how powerful the on-cast flashback trigger from Return is. Despite getting it Duress'ed out of his hand and having the World Breaker get countered, he still got off the board wipe. That's probably much less crazy in a format that tends to come pretty prepared to hate on graveyards, but by the same token that same format could be flashing it back on turn 4. The fact that the flashback can't be countered is really not something to underestimate.

Pedantic correction: it didn't get duressed. Gerry took the ramp spell, the Return was cast to kill Jace.

You're both correct. Also UR Prowess looks fun as gently caress and can probably be built pretty competitively for like $50 (gently caress off Jace). I might have to throw this together before Swiftspear rotates.

So what pushed that deck over the line in OGW? I didn't get to watch today, but it sounds like my jam. Stormchasers? The new cantrips?

That's prettymuch how it works out. Stormchaser is basically Flying Swiftspear #5-8 and you get a bunch of playable cantrips to chain prowess triggers tied together with lots of one-mana Treasure Cruises. Having a glut of 1-2 mana spells also gives you a ton of hits off Abbot.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Some random threat like Elusive Spellfist or Zurgo. Maybe Jori En. Elusive spellfist is legit enough. Being unblockable is a huge deal in the prowess deck that wants to "go off" and just ruin a dude turn 5 from 20 life. Spellfist and Stormchasre make that happen for you. Jori En is also a cool replacement, considering if she resolves alright, the "next spell" you cast cantrips, and drawing 1.5 cards a turn in the prowess deck is p. great. Zurgo is kind of static, but sometimes Goblin War Buggy just gets there.

For what it's worth I don't think the UR Prowess deck is all that great. It's super fragile if you don't get a good draw and mulligans horribly since you're playing with so many bad cards.

Ux delver in legacy plays a billion do nothing cards too, but it actually has card selection UR prowess seems interesting if nothing else. I do wish there was, like, sleight of hand or some other weak blue card selection cantrip.
