Deck Description

The deck clearly focuses around a combination of non creature spells and prowess. The fact that anything you do with this deck (especially at a low cost) and trigger multiple abilities to help yourself fight for victory, is personally comforting and entertaining.

How to Play

This deck is supposed to be fast paced with mass amounts of aggro. It utilizes low cost noncreature spells that activate a series of triggers across the board. Synergy was taken greatly into consideration when constructing this deck.

CREATURES___________________________________________________________________
Elusive Spellfist - Used to pierce the enemies life without fear of being blocked.
Jace, Vryn's Prodigy - Serves as a gold digger until flipped.
Jhessian Thief - Used to Dig for cards and can potentially be used as a blocker. (helps keep hand stocked)
Monastery Mentor - Token Generator
Ojutai Exemplars - Situation abilities, can be used to swing in for blood and defense.
Seeker of the Way - Used to sustain life.
Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest - Gives a creature Double Strike

INSTANTS & SORCERIES ___________All Trigger Prowess and Noncreature Abilities___
Anticipate - Helps pull cards as needed
Artful Maneuver - Rebound + Damage
Defiant Strike - Draw a Card + Damage
Send to Sleep - Gap Opener
Swift Reckoning - Defensive/Offensive Synergy
Treasure Cruise - Delve for 1 Cost + Draw 3 Cards

ENCHANTMENTS__________________Trigger Prowess and Noncreature Abilities_____

PLANESWALKERS_____________________________________________________________

COMBO'S (Best Case Senario)
Tip: Whenever you want to trigger Prowess or the Noncreature Effects, make sure you cast Myth Realized first so the following spells will trigger its ability.

>Elusive Spellfist (on the board)
Defiant Strike + Artful Maneuver + Send To Sleep
(Prowess Triggers 3 Times)
Elusive Spellfist becomes a 4/3 + 1/0 + 2/2 = 7/5 Unblockable + Draw a Card
(Costs 2 White + 1 Blue + 2 Colorless)

>Ojutai Exemplars & Monastery Monk (on the board)
Myth Realized + Defiant Strike + Artful Maneuver + Send To Sleep
(Prowess Triggers 4 Times)
-Ojutai Exemplars may tap creatures down if Send to Sleep doesn't do the job. Be sure to select his 2nd Option at most, once.
-Ojutai Ends up a 8/8 w/ Lifelink and First Strike.
-Monastery Monk triggers 4 Times. You end up with 4 1/1 Monks with Prowess.
-Monastery Monk becomes a 6/6
-Myth Realized has 3 Counters on it.
(Costs 3 White + 1 Blue + 2 Colorless) *Swing in for 14. Gain 8.*

*You can activate Shu Yun's Passive for (2 White) to give a creature Double Strike.*
