Very nice and straight forward! Sometimes a cheeseburger is better than a steak. +1(/+1) from me

Cards you might have not looked at Elusive Spellfist Quandrix Pledgemage. Not exactly Prowess tho. Probably better to leave things as they are, just typing anything into my keyboard, really xD

Cheers

This deck wants a Quandrix Pledgemage in its opening hand to play on turn three. A Quandrix Pledgemage unchecked can win the game and therefore we play hexproof and trample in this casual Temur Midrange deck. The fractals are played after turn five and usually are around 8 power and greater. My competitive deck plays Delver of Secrets  ^Flip and Elvish Visionary and more counterspells, along with returning Serpentine Curve from your graveyard. Competitive Temur MIdrange

Quandrix Pledgemage might be a solid long-term powerhouse here!

I've typically seen Orvar decks in U/R. This build is interesting, but there are some flaws both on the macro and micro level.

In the bigger picture, you don't really have a way to win the game. Ideally in an Orvar deck, you have a few creatures that work well when copied (in U/R this would be your Goldspan Dragon s and Sprite Dragon s), but there's not really anything like that here. At least, nothing that ends the game. I think the best possibility for that would be Elder Gargaroth , because if that gets copied it's basically game over.

On the smaller level, let's look at individual card choices. Selfless Savior can easily be replaced with protection spells like Shell Shield or Sejiri Shelter  ^Flip, which also fit the theme of targeting spells. Sea Gate Stormcaller doesn't actually work particularly well with the deck. Orvar won't trigger from the copy it makes, and you're copying pretty low-value spells in general. You have Professor of Symbology here, but no sideboard to learn from. Even if you do get some lessons, she's still not the greatest value and has little/no synergy with the deck. Charming Prince is generally a decent value card, but again, there's not really much synergy here. You don't want to be copying things with Orvar just for minor ETB value.

I think some better cards to copy with Orvar are big creatures like the aforementioned Elder Gargaroth or something that also benefits from being targeted/buffed. Maybe the new magecraft mechanic can help. Clever Lumimancer , Leonin Lightscribe , or especially Quandrix Pledgemage are all good creatures for that reason. All of these are also good independent of Orvar, though he does make them much better.
