One of the more interesting cards in Foundations is the somewhat unassuming Drake Hatcher.
There's a bunch of great prowess threats in the format like Monastery Swiftspear, Slickshot Show-Off, and Stormchaser's Talent, but none of them have the potential to spawn out more threats.
Well let's put em all together!

Magic Online player DB_Conor_man11 took this unique prowess list to a 5-0 in a recent Magic Online league, and if it's got Crash Through I've just gotta play it.
While this deck shares a lot of cards with Mono-Red Aggro and Gruul Prowess, the Blue gives it an element of velocity not present in those decks. Cheap cantrips like Opt, Sleight of Hand, and especially Crash Through (which is awesome to give trample) all allow you to burn through your deck and stack up the prowess triggers. The sideboard counterspells also offer a different sort of interaction as well.
If you love Izzet decks like me this is definitely worth a spin!
