Introductory Post #1: A Deck

I decided the Internet needs one more Magic: The Gathering blog.  So, here we go.  A bio is forthcoming, but decklists are an important part of any Magic blog anyway, so I'll let this beauty serve as the vanguard to my first foray into the M:tG blogosphere.

Why doesn't this deck exist already?  And which factors keep this from being "tier one"?
