Monastery Mentor 2W Creature - Human Monk (Mythic)
Prowess
Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, put a 1/1 white Monk creature token with prowess onto the battlefield.
2/2
Awesome. Its like the red 2 drop, but for 3 and with prowess. Also works on ALL non-creature spells. I like it! A very nice addition to my deck with spells in it.
First Soulfire Grand Master, now this one ... Jeskai is really getting some love in this set it seems. Not that I'm complaining. Can't wait to play with this. Jeskai Tokens ftw!
I cant believe we have two white mythics that feel very similar in the role and style of deck that they play in the same set... it just feels really awkward.
I like it dont get me wrong... its just sort of odd feeling is all.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Incoming "forgetfulness" that this was spoiled already and everyone sagely declared it fake.
Yes but to be fair, "a friend of a friend told me" isn't the most credible sounding source.
Not only that, but the guy was adamant in saying that the tokens were only generated when casting an instant or sorcery, not just a non-creature spell, which is just awkward alongside prowess.
Wow, this guy can fit into a lot of different decks.
This is going to be an expensive card .

If MTG is a part of your life, the formats are like relationships:
Standard/Block = The on-again, off-again holiday fling
Modern/Vintage/Legacy = Stable, homely. A ***** after absence/misreading
Limited/Sealed = Heart breaking free spirit
Commander/Cube = Agreeable, needy and expensive
Pauper/Peasant = Sweet, kind, practical, but shy and boring
It will absolutely replace Rabblemaster. This is entirely more powerful of an effect, stacks with other copies and is not forced to attack if you have two on the battlefield.
This is a crazy card. I thought Abzan aggro was the best deck going forward but with some new toys for Jeskai, this is helping my confidence that it won't be for too long. Sweet freaking cards man. Can't wait to see some of the uncommons that will help out too.
I don't play online at all but an ascendancy in play plus this guy is going to make the deck unplayable with the millions of triggers lol
It's more than a fancy uncommon. It grows (temporarily) with every non-creature spell you play, gives you a token for every non-creature spell you play, and those tokens can grow (temporarily) with every non-creature spell you play. Young Pyromancer is fine, but it's limited to instants and sorceries and the tokens can't be bigger than 1/1.
Putting this thing at Mythic though seems pretty outrageous, given that it's just a fancy Uncommon.
To be fair, that uncommon is widely considered comparable in power level to the best rare creatures in the game.
But yeah, wish this had been rare instead of mythic, because jesus christ I want 10 of them and it's going to be stupid expensive because it's a mythic, and almost impossible to pull for the same reason. If I didn't already play Jeskai, I certainly would be trying to shift in that direction now.
(...playing this with Jeskai Ascendancy might extend games by a few minutes just in tracking all of the triggers, eesh.)

Young Pyromancer with prowess and prowess tokens! This card slots in perfectly for Jeskai Tokens (probably at the expense of Rabblemaster).
But why must you make this mythic, WotC?
I think it's probably a limited thing. Having this opened multiple times would make a deck too powerful. Having one is fine, but 2/3 would just make it impossible for you to lose.

The Jeskai Tokens deck just got much more expensive. I can't tell if Soulfire Grandmaster or this guy is a bigger lightning rod. Either way, there are some dumb things to be done in the near future.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

MTGS egos at their finest.
Thoughts on proxies:
Very likely modern playable.
The mythics this set are shaping up rather nicely. Looking forward to seeing the black mythic, and whatever multicolor ones we may get.
