Cheap, Casual U/W Rebound/Prowess (Casual)

Part of a series of cheap and casual decks, each highlighting a different mechanic for new MtG players. The focus of this deck is on the interaction between the Rebound and Prowess mechanics.

--Playstyle--
Early game:

• Develop some cheap creatures and protect them with Emerge Unscathed or Artful Maneuver. On your next turn, use their Rebound to deal some damage or prevent your creature from being blocked.
• Protection from [color] prevents an enemy creature from blocking you if it's applied before the declare blockers step. If you use it after a blocker has been declared, you can damage it and it can't damage you. You can also use protection from [color] to make a creature an invalid target for removal - play it in response to a Lightning Strike or Doom Blade.

Mid game:
Draw cards by dealing damage with the Jeskai Elder and Jhessian Thief. There are lots of ways to slip past an opponent's blockers:

• Tap them with Ojutai's Breath
• Give your creature protection with Emerge Unscathed
• Make your creature unblockable with Taigam's Strike
• Use Artful Maneuver as a combat trick to kill an unwary blocker (and it makes your opponent less likely to block in the future!)

End game:
Rebound and prowess combine to give the deck a lot of burst. Set up your kill by putting as many rebound spells into play as possible. The next turn, add as many more as you can afford and strike for the kill.

--Tips--
Don't use spells like Artful Maneuver and Taigam's Strike just to deal a little more damage to your opponent - save them for surprise attacks or for creatures you need to get through blockers.
