I've been low-key impressed by Expressive Firedancer.

I don't find myself in the aggro spells deck very often, but when I do [[Expressive Firedancer]] is the two-drop I want. It frequently attacks for 3+ as early as turn three; the threat of activation triggering discourages the sort of even trades an opponent would otherwise want to make against aggro; and once you hit five mana it becomes a must-answer threat. [[Tome Blast]] and [[Burst Lightning]] are particularly nice pairings, as ways to get magnum opus without inflating your curve.

I'm like 90% sure I should just leave it in the board. And yet...

The deck has a low curve (every single card can do something with no more than three mana). The double Tablet (and Rouser) can provide some non-land mana. And with so many greedy soup decks running around the format, just resetting to zero mana on turn 4 or 5 feels like it could be back-breaking in that matchup (though Trove is a bother). And Soloist would be a fairly easy cut.

Talk me out of it. Or into it.
