Izzet Prowess Performance Analysis (Modern)

Based on recent tournament data (last 60 days), here's what the numbers show about Prowess in Modern:

Current Meta Position:

  • 4.03% of meta presence (8th most played archetype)
  • 49.39% winrate (excluding draws) - slightly below 50%
  • 119 total entries across 67 tournaments

Performance Trends:

  • Inconsistent results - winrate has fluctuated between 38.89% and 56.6% weekly
  • Recent weeks show modest recovery (52.38% last week vs 40.91% in late August)
  • Presence has remained relatively stable around 4-5% of meta

Key Cards (based on recent lists):

  • Core suite: Monastery Swiftspear, Dragon's Rage Channeler, Lightning Bolt
  • Key tools: Lava Dart, Cori-Steel Cutter, Mishra's Bauble, Expressive Iteration
  • 4-of consistency across most key pieces

Meta Context:

  • Competing against stronger aggro/tempo options like Boros Energy (51.89% winrate, 13.98% presence)
  • Blue Belcher performing notably better (54.28% winrate) in similar fast category

The data suggests Prowess is a tier 2 choice currently - playable but not optimal. The archetype shows slightly negative expected value with inconsistent performance week-to-week.
