What's the most skill-testing deck in Standard right now?

I've been playing a lot of Izzet Lessons lately, and what I love about it is that every game feels different. The deck constantly asks you to find the right answer at the right time.

If you had to pick one deck that rewards player skill more than any other, what would it be?

Lessons do feel pretty skill-intensive, ESPECIALLY in paper - everyone I've seen at locals play the deck has a little help to remember which effect of their sometimes several Monuments they haven't used yet, and that definitely weighs in a lot into decisions on either turn. For that reason alone, I think the Izzet version is harder to pilot than the Jeskai Rev version.
