This is a budget-friendly Jeskai deck that uses the Prowess mechanic in combination with cheap lock-down and control spells to win the game quickly.

(I own the cards in the deck, which is the only reason there is a foil Flooded Strand and Narset. For budget purposes, you can replace the expensive lands with cheaper ones.)

The goal of this deck is to always have 2-3 creatures on the board, preferably with a Military Intelligence as well, and to cast a noncreature spell each turn to trigger Prowess and get extra damage in. Since Prowess damage only gets translated to the opponent if the spell is cast before damage is dealt, sorcery-speed removal such as Singing Bell Strike and Oppressive Rays is quite useful.

Hands down, though, Military Intelligence is one of the best cards in the deck. It not only triggers Prowess, but generates insane card advantage if you can maintain your board (which this deck is definitely capable of).

When I get my hands on some Banishing Lights I'll be sure to add those in as well.

Feedback is welcome!
