I think your Slickshot Show-Off in this brew is not going to perform well, as you do no have any spells that you can cast to help pump for it to be aggressive. If you want to use the show-off I would suggest adding cards like Highway Robbery or Demonic Ruckus as cards that you can plot early to help you cast and help the Show-off be able to attack for some more damage. These will help your deck more then Airbender's Reversal as the card is only a defensive card and cannot be played to help with this creature attacks consistently. If you want a card that can be used as removal since you are low on interaction, then you could try using Lightning Helix or Burst Lightning if you want instant interaction, or try the Iroh's Demonstration you have in your maybe board.

If you are looking for cards to have for your sidedeck, then you could try Clarion Conqueror to help shutdown mana production for creatures or Pinnacle Starcage since most of your creatures are able to avoid the exile sweep. Note: Starcage could be airbent by Appa so you could re-sweep the board if opponent rebuilds the board with small creatures, but careful resetting cage vs decks that have sack outlets on board.

To be honest I think you could swap the Slickshot Show-Off out for some Pinnacle Starcage and it would help in more matchups then trying to rebuild what you have to jam the show-off. Or you could try the card Sage of the Skies that could pair well with the reduced cost of the airbent creatures, the cost reduction of Momo or the free plot turns you are casting into.

Hope this suggestion makes sense as I am trying to recommend cads that fit your theme.

zapyourtumor, Thanks so much for checking out the deck list and for the advice! I have been agonizing over the deck list. The Authority of the Consuls became an include for me due to the presence of all the other Hasty Prowess decks I have been going up against on Arena, It also downplays the effectivness of all the Warp creatures in EOE, I.E. Nova Hellkite, or dare I say Ball Lightning. I am trying to combine the burn spells with the Prowess creatures, Slickshot Show-Off and Emberheart Challenger (although I am not using the mouse's second ability The Valiant part) to make big life swings, they lose, I gain. So the authority helps me have a solid first turn play that will slow down the other haste decks and allow me to edge out the other burn decks with lifegain, or it can trigger prowess as well on a later turn. I have tried using the Lightstall Inquisitor as well, but feel like it has a better home in a self bounce deck where you can use it over and over to diminish their hand. I like the idea of Cosmogrand Zenith, she could help me create a bigger board presence and keep up the pressure when I run out of Burn spells. I was just thinking about adding Opera Love Song back in to help with card draw, and as it turns out, that would trigger prowess and or Valiant in some cases, so maybe that would be a good thing to help with consistency?

If you are tryign to go for the aggressive early game with late game infinite backup I think the Demilich and Docent of Perfection  ^Flip are not really helping either angle too much.

You may want to try Soul-Scar Mage for an agressive utility creature as the creature has prowess for nice early game pressure, but also gives you -1/-1 counters to spread to threats you might not flat remove with your burn spells. This helps you shrink threats or remove threats that have indestructible as this reduces their toughness to 0 instead of damaging them.

For biger bursts of damage you may want to consider Slickshot Show-Off as the creature can be plotted so it becomes a free spell to come down when you are ready to sling spells and want to play around opponents removal. It is objectively a better Wee Dragonauts as it is cheaper, comes with haste and has the same pump bonuses.

Hope these suggestions help your deck out.

Crow_Umbra Prowess is actually pretty hot right now with the new card Cori-Steel Cutter. Slickshot Show-Off is the other centerpiece of that deck. Wild Defiance is... wild lol, I could see this fitting into the right deck. 3 mana is a bit steep for a prowess deck (low land count) but at least you won't lose value like you normally would from killspell in rsp. to pump spell, turn 2 plot slickshot turn 3 defiance into mutagenic is kinda wacky lol.. Or 2x Lava Dart on your own creat for +6/+6 :)

I Love a good Red Aggro Deck! Ash Zealot is one of my personal favorite creatures. If you run her along with Madcap Skills, a fun card to add is Thunderous Might. It can really lead to some explosive turns. It helps to have some other red devotion along with this of course. Which is why I run another of my old favorite hotties, the Burning-Tree Emissary. Razorkin Needlehead seems like it might be worth considering. Monstrous Rage is also really really good. Probably better suited for Monastery Swiftspear and Slickshot Show-Off, but you already have a handful of other buff spells in there, so yeah. Anywho, Good Luck!

DreadKhan thanks for the feedback i do think youre right i do have too many 3 drops although i think hymn is great (i have it in my discard deck) i will not be removing dashed hopes im trying to keep as many choice cards as possible its not too great in a BO3 but for a first game with someone at the local game store it makes for some fun interaction. I think instead of Bonecrusher Giant i think Slickshot Show-Off is the better card to replace something with im just not sure what to replace

If budget is not an issue: Slickshot Show-Off is currently the best 2-drop prowess creature in the format

Dragon's Rage Channeler + Mishra's Bauble also good in prowess decks

Birgi and Chandra are probably way too slow for a prowess deck
