Nah, card is still ok though. Most of the time we activate manlands when our opponent is low on resources.
Remember they must bolt it while the ability is on the stack, if they say ok then bolt can't get it.

I agree. It will be interesting to see how good the card is in testing.

It's good to see some more activity in this thread. Our deck is solid and I strike fear into the hearts of my opponents when I sleeve up Cruel Control. I'll be destroying plenty of people in 2016 with this deck.
Have you foiled the deck up yet? Can we get a pretty picture? Any current listS?
Foiling still in progress, buy I only need 15 cards and I'm done. I'll post an update picture when I get back from dinner with my fiancé. I'll also post some lists.

I want to second and third that after having played with and without it now for a solid month and a half that Jace, Vryn Prodigy is an absolute must have in the deck. I feel like 2 is perfect and the things he does are so subtle and so powerful depending on the build, but chief of which is turning hands with a very early cruel ultimatum which would typically be mulligans into a loot for something better. I used to play this deck with mystical teachings and while it was cool it always felt a bit too slow since moving to Jace and getting off teachings I have had a lot more success and been able to really abuse kolaghans command and inquisition. Finally while this may not be popular based on things I have seen on here I am running 3 Vendilion Clique in the main. Part of which is because Tron is so popular at my store so it's a bit from necessity but also the ability to play 4 K command with snap Jace and clique means you can have this incredible engine where you just control your opponents draw step and use clique and Kcommand to force discard/control their too deck. I will post a list I have after FNM tonight. Finally regarding Vendilion Clique in the off chance that SFM is unbanned it becomes even more powerful to be able to remove the equipment from their hand in response to the activation with a timely clique. As a 3/1 it is a very fragile creature but as a way to bottom cruel ultimatums and control our opponents draws and provide really powerful and IMO broken synergy with kolaghans command I highly suggest that the faerie gets some more consideration in builds I see on here
With twin gone, that changes how we build our deck. This changes everything.

Last night at FNM was really fun as when we were all checking our phones and seeing the Reddit posts about the mtgo beta bans I felt a bit of sadness but also a small bit of happiness as I hate playing against twin. Not because of the twin combo but because of Blood Moon and the biggest blood moon deck is leaving the format. I've lost more games playing the decks I do to blood moon out of the board from twin than to a splinter twin on a deceiver/mite.
Lil_Bolas, your deck is just as sexy as mine, if not sexier. I don't have those judge textless TN lands that you have, but I do have foils. I may now have to get those lands looking at your list. The rest of my deck is foiled and promo'd out with exception to the Snapcaster Mages as I am not fond of some of their foiling and am waiting for the new ones possibly.

These are the foils and/or promos that I currently have in my Main deck. I'm getting my 4th Polluted Delta Expedition this Friday(I have a foil from Khans but didn't include it in these photos). Then I'll only need two Bloodstained Mire Expeditions to finish it up(to replace the two non-foil Scalding Tarns I have currently). I may switch around the Sulfer Falls and/or Dragonskull Summit into two tango land Expeditions.
I have cards in this deck to deal with local meta, like the Counterflux that you see, that I dropped Cryptic Command for. I may be trying to revert back to some number of the Cryptics and/or Cruels since Twin and Bloom are gone. I have only one set foil Cruel, but I have 8 FtV ones. Obviously some of these cards in these photos won't be going into the deck and/or may not have ever been in it(such as Blightning).
The problem I have with textless promos is that I don't like mixing textless nonfoil with foil cards.
