		<description><![CDATA[Jason - 
I tried your Izzet Control build (virtually similar with the only change being a second pristine talisman in place of serrated arrows to conserve tixs) and have found great success. I am especially thankful for your video of your deck playing against Kuldotha Jeskai, as it helped me to figure out the best ways to outmaneuver that deck. Thank you for your content and I hope you continue to make content of this quality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Artstyle - Unfortunately I don&#039;t think there is an easy answer to that question. 

One thing I can say is that many different scenarios will call for the employment of different strategies, and I can&#039;t give you a quick fix to your problem.  

The first thing you can do in these kinds of situations is determine &quot;what is my game plan?&quot; - 

http://www.starcitygames.com/article/25833_The-Number-One-Rule.html

http://www.channelfireball.com/home/having-a-plan/

***

This goes hand in hand with determining &quot;who is the beatdown?&quot;  -

http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/fundamentals/3692_Whos_The_Beatdown.html

***
I assume that the &quot;problem&quot; you&#039;re having with these decks is that you&#039;re losing to them. With that being said, try to identify a few key factors: are the decks you&#039;re losing to the beatdown? What is their plan, and what is that plan&#039;s relation to yours? What does the board, graveyards and each player&#039;s hand/library look like in the scenarios where you&#039;re losing? How do the games usually play out in order to get to that point? 

I hope that by asking some of these pointed questions you will be able to find some meaningful answers! Thanks!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Artstyle - Which protection spell are you referring to? 

Please consult G3 of this series for tactics against the WRU deck (which we call &quot;Kuldotha Jeskai&quot;) - http://www.mtgoacademy.com/dime-a-dozen-87-firebolts-are-red-delvers-are-blue/

If you have more specific questions let me know, thanks!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jason:

For your stream you could do the same thing you do in your video. You set up an account on something like twitch or google stream and play your deck and explain your thought process, your mistake or why card X was a better play then card Y with with the added benefice of being able to interact with the viewer live, answer our question and such. You could then upload the video to youtube like you just did and strike two bird with one stone.

Thank you for your article I will read them tonight between two sealed round :).

I have started seeing more success tonight with the deck. think im 6-2 tonight. Starting to get a better feel for it. Sideboarding is still an issue. I think im too quick on the gun to go creatureless sometime it backfires hard. Im having trouble vs Kor  bouncer deck especially the WRU ones who incorporate the Protection from mono coloured spell. Any tips as far as playstyle or sideboarding goes?

Thanks!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Artstyle - It&#039;s great to hear about your progress and experiences with the format. Thanks for the feedback as well!

I don&#039;t currently stream (any hypothetical suggestions for what I could incorporate into the stream?), but some of my BlackBorder content might be able to tide you over. 

For instance, these control mage articles might help you out in some way - 

&quot;How to Control the Pauper Meta&quot; - http://www.blackborder.com/q/node/19235
 
&quot;A Tale of Two Control Decks&quot; - http://www.blackborder.com/q/node/19351

Talk to you soon ^^]]></description>
