Goals of deck is to be proactive in order to trigger prowess on your creatures, meaning you add additional damage just by casting your non-creature spells. The deck is trying to be aggressive, with a focus on haste/evasive beaters.

Only reactive spells are the 2 Remand, 1 Apostle's Blessing and 2 Gods Willing. All of these can be used proactively e.g. you can Remand then recast your own spell for 3 triggers. Gods Willing also gives scry for Delver flips.

Suggestions are welcome. Some cards I considered:

Monastery Mentor has been in the deck but I think they are best played off 4 mana to ensure you get a token if it dies, which is a bit slow. Snapcaster Mage can be used proactively for prowess triggers if needed.

Young Pyromancer is not aggressive enough.

Only 3 Stormchaser Mage as often you will want to play two 1 mana spells on turn two.

Distortion Strike gives two prowess triggers but am concerned about having an empty board when the rebound happens if your creatures are removed. Same issue with Emerge Unscathed.

I am currently trying a few 1 of's to test how they work out, like Titan's Strength, Slip Through Space
