Scrapshooter isnβt ideal vs Prowess, but it is solid and a card Iβm happier to play when disenchant matters and big body with reach matters vs other decks in the format, which it does. Bounce solves Scrapshooter as a standalone, but Iβm moreso trying to overload them on reach/flying blockers. Ouroboroid being stronger depends on whether they are pointing Burst Lightning at Llanowar Elves or sandbagging for Badgermole Cub and/or relevant blockers imo. My experience has been that Izzet decks with low spot removal (Spelementals, Prowess) are better off saving removal for Cub and not killing Elf every time. Lessons obviously wants to kill all your stuff and has the ability to do so. That said, most of my opponents have killed the Elf, which makes me like 4-drops less. If you told me my opponents would mostly do the βcorrectβ thing, then my opinion might change. And fwiw if Prowess played the unblockable cantrip, I feel like I could probably never win.
Too nuanced and much to say for limited characters heh
Your list is definitely not stock though!
No paywall on the guide btw
Expecting a tick up in aggro (Izzet Prowess, Rakdos Monument) for Spotlight Richmond, so might do some weird stuff like maindeck Scrapshooter going forward. Will try Witness Protection instead of Bounce Off as well.

Was at dinner with someone who knew that guy was a real person. I was surprised
I've heard a lot of people saying they think FF set is a low power level set and they don't think it has many cards that matter for constructed. I think otherwise, so here's a thread on cards I see with some potential.
new tea!
this is a special episode where "nile asks @gerryt.bsky.social anything"
if you've ever wanted to know
does gerry believe in ghosts?
has gerry ever been in love?
is gerry a fairy or a goblin?
this is the ep for you!

Truly tragic
Six years is a long time
Aka The Yuuya Episode.
Maybe the biggest heartbreak of my life.

While writing, I had another idea:
If you have a platform and a cause, but donβt know how to best go about it, hit me up. Would love to help you make something happen.
If youβre already doing it and want to discuss optimizing, also down.
Warning: I will be honest with you.

Inspired by a convo last weekend, I wanted to make this post just so people knew why I did what I did. The conviction came from the notion that it was all bigger than me.
Ideally, Iβd be a forgotten footnote: βFirst to do it, but contribution pales in comparison to everyone elseβ
This was not an outcome I predicted. Naive, I know. Even if I knew it was possible, Iβm an optimist, so I would have done it exactly the same.
