shredding as a warmup?

On many gigs where I’ve sat in with some heavy jazz players (trombones, trumpets, etc). For some reason as a warmup they play what sounds like the most random intense fast bop licks that I can’t get my head around.

Are they just showing off?
Does it actually help them warmup / get ready to play a jazz solo?
Is this just what a lifetime of jazz leads you to?

I’m someone who “can” solo, but haven’t been trained or gone to school for it, so I have only an understanding on playing acceptable note patterns and not extended licks.

Rate my Flying Elephant deck

In Silver I have gotten SO SO close to actually winning with Flying Elephants effect (usually against itchy trigger finger Dragooners who can't read).
But it also works as a unreliable stall deck, or just beefy ATK elephants. I feel as tho anyone who loses to me are going to be seething or just very very confused haha.

lmk what cards I could add or remove to get a closer chance at getting an elephant win, not looking to make it an actual reliable useful deck tho lol.
