Most of these cards are extremely high mana cost/sacrifice to do what something cheaper can easily do, besides Counterspell (probably one of the best for MV).

Ionize (on the higher MV yet dealing damage as well as countering)

Siren Stormtamer (very low MV sac counter as well as creature)

Izzet Charm (toolbox counter used if not needing to soft counter)

Disallow (one of the best for for all around denial)

I love blue moon lists. I would make a few changes though: The Royal Scions isn't as good as you might think it is. If you want a loot I would play Teferi, Master of Time , otherwise I would be on Jace, the Mind Sculptor if your budget allows or Chandra, Torch of Defiance .

Archmage's Charm is also certainly a must for a deck with this many blue sources. I'd consider adding more removal if possible, try Electrolyze , Izzet Charm , or Prismari Command . I'd definitely shave a blood moon too as they suck ass in duplicates.

Oh, and add a sideboard.

I don’t really want it to be a Arclight Phoenix deck, just want my prowess stuff. Plus I would have to add more discard outlets for Phoenix like Chart a Course and such.

The Stormchaser Mage are gonna be replaced with Soul-Scar Mage if I like the format enough to buy them.

I’m currently at 20 lands with the Spikefield Hazard  ^Flips. And I think Expressive Iteration is too good not to play. It’s even seeing play in Modern.

If I played Izzet Charm it would replace Prismari Command .

I’ll see about fitting some Lightning Strike s in.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Make it 20 land. Add Arclight Phoenix for Stormchaser Mage . Add 4x Lightning Strike for the 2 copies of Spikefield Hazard  ^Flip and 2 copies of Shock . (You will have 2 copies of shock left over) also add Izzet Charm for Expressive Iteration .

Is Ionize a good card for countering in Jeskai? Are there any better ones? Is Absorb better even though I don't have any cards that function off of lifegain? The best 'counter any target spell' cards that I can find are 3 CMC or more, and Ionize just adds to it by dealing 2 damage. I already have 4x Izzet Charm . Are there any Jeskai cards that are like Izzet Charm but counter all spells yet have multiple effects to choose from?

My main suggestion would just be to look for versions of your cards that do similar things for less mana. For instance, Soul Sear could probably be Lightning Bolt , Blazing Salvo , Mizzium Mortars , Thundering Rebuke , Roast , or Tears of Valakut if you're expecting flyers. Similarly, Dissolve and Ionize might be better as Spell Pierce , Counterspell , Hindering Light , Izzet Charm , Mana Leak , etc. depending on what you need to counter when.

The only other card I'll suggest (and I admit that it's a pet card of mine so I might be biased) is Myth Realized . It triggers prowess itself, grows from the same triggers as prowess, provides a mana sink in the late game, and is a creature that can conveniently dodge your own boardwipes whether they be Pyroclasm , Evacuation , or Wrath of God .

Izzet Charm is mainly for me to draw what I need. It's a good card because it says 'draw then discard' so that way I'll be able to do it most efficiently by knowing what I have first, then discarding what I feel I don't need, without having those kind of cards that say 'draw 4 then choose 1 then put the rest in the graveyard' or something similar. Uncovered Clues is extremely useful with max 2 instant and 2 sorceries drawing power for 3 mana. Do you think there are better jeskai drawing cards? Because that's what I seriously need.

Thinking about going Jeskai. Jeskai Charm is incredibly good. Izzet Charm would be great for drawing. Uncovered Clues seems pretty good, considering I have 26 instants + sorceries out of 65 cards. Jori En, Ruin Diver and Bloodwater Entity seem good.
