Not really looking forward to playing against the new mono-red. I have to say, though... [[Slickshot Show-Off]] is a Wizard, and I was trying a Wizards deck with [[Roaming Throne]] and [[Balmor, Battlemage Captain]] for a while. It didn't win very much, but what if I upgraded a less-explosive Wizard such as [[Dwarven Forge-Chanter]] to the Show-Off? Worth a try....

Love prowess as an archetype and Slickshot is the card I’m most excited about in the set. Couldnt’t believe it’s also a wizard. Plot enables some huge turns and can really hamper an opponent who leaves up mana t2 to remove a creature.

I think those cards definitely make it worth a shot, I just wish there were a bit more wizard payoffs in Standard like there are in the older formats.
