Those articles are not reaching my interests, but ggslive does!

That's right you read it correctly, I have seemed to have lost interest in the articles the pros have posted on the popular websites(granted the drafts because you can skim through.) It seems like they just ramble on covering the same things time and time again promoting the same decklists as they did the week prior and giving more match-up results. I personally love reading full fledged tournament reports or even watching them on ggslive.com but when you get to read the articles that the pros post it is usually a bore because of the missed plays and just recapping some parts of the match whereas coverage you get to see what really went down and how it was accomplished to do so.

I believe we should do as ggslive does and actually get more live coverage, it is better than f5'ing throughout the day to read reports that you already know the results to, for example: When ggslive was covering GP:Tampa, I was watching the show and also reading the coverage on the mothership. The convenience of ggslive was far exceeding the 20 minutes late coverage report and the fact that you can discuss with other players on the plays is also something i really enjoy. The simplicity of live streaming really does help and it is not that costly, I mean c'mon just pay Rashad Miller and Ray to stream your ptq for like 200 dollars and they will do just that, because they bring the games to us, the players, without having to travel to get up to date news. They are really inexpensive and all they care about is donations to help make the show better. I support what they are doing and helping magic progress into the future(or past, I'm talking to you espn2) and pretty soon we can stream these vids on our iphones for up to the second watching.

But enough about my rant, how about a decklist?
This is a pre-list that I am testing out so far with the spoilers given in worldwake, namely my personal favorite planeswalker Jace, the mindsculptor.

Grixis control, boy do I love me some Cruel ultimatums, and without the help of cryptic command, the curve is... well less than spectacular, but Jace being a 4 drop? Sign me up!
DeckMagic OnlineOCTGN2ApprenticeBuy These Cards
Grixis Control v-1
4 Crumbling necropolis
3 Dragonskull Summit
3 Drowned catacomb
4 scalding tarn
5 swamp
4 island
3 mountain

4 Lightning bolt
4 terminate
4 courier's capsule
3 essence scatter
3 earthquake
3 cruel ultimatum
2 sphinx of jwar isle
2 sorin markov
1 chandra nalaar
3 Jace, the mind sculptor
2 negate
2 flashfreeze
1 Mind spring

Sideboard:
2 negate
3 malakir bloodwitch
4 vampire nighthawk
2 flashfreeze
2 countersquall
1 pithing needle
1 thought hemorrhage

Isn't it a beauty? This deck has gotten tremendously better against jund (warrant that they don't get anything from WWK too relevant.) and it has been proven better than the old jace in the matches where he was really subpar because he can protect himself! I mean, turn four you fateseal, then you unsummon that fatty baneslayer? seems awesome! He has been absolutely amazing for me and I am most definitely going to pick these up right away.

My sideboard is probably my favorite thing about this deck, 4 night hawk and 3 bloodwitch, this makes the mirror so much easier, it makes the aus-cheon irrelevant because their walls, do ab-so-lut-ley-nothing and it makes bushwacker a winnable matchup more than 50% post side.

Well, that's all from me today. I would love some feedback though to whether or not i should keep posting in my blogs.

Thanks for reading!
Happy holidays,
Tom
