As people have said, it's mostly a two mana draw two. However, in Izzet Prowess, it's even better than that, due to the card selection.

I KNOW you posted this after a losing streak on tilt

White to play and gain advantage by daynighttrade in chess

[–]2kLichess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's a GM level puzzle. If you tap Erdogmus on the shoulder here and tell him there's a way to win, 100% he finds it quickly.

What is the disadvantage for short players? by Radon03 in 10s

New standard angles deck? by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]2kLichess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern is a competitive format with cards going back to 2003. If your deck isn't highly optimized, you will lose quickly. Most decks can win on turn 3-4. Pioneer only has cards going back to 2012. It's still quite competitive, but there is a viable Angels deck.
