The Strasky vs Dang match was great. Strasky playing around Dang's Atarka's command and Dang playing around Strasky's Atarka herself.

UB control looks like so much fun, too bad the prices on MTGO skyrocketed.

MTG is so expensive, and I currently have a Mono-Blue Tron Modern deck that's way too much fun!

I don't think it was ever considered tier 2 in KTK standard, only a handful of people were playing it because they felt comfortable playing it. Craig Wescoe said his team thought UB(w) control was the best deck for the PT but only like Adrian Sullivan felt comfortable playing the deck. It's definitely not an easy deck to play, but I would say its a much easier deck to play than it was in the past.

From my own testing for friends going to the PT, the deck is fine, no real match up that's like impossible which is a departure from previous standard cycles. You have problem cards for sure, but none of them are that terrible (aka that hard to stop from a deck builder's perspective).

Only main change is the lack of "catch all" answers that used to be standard blocks of yore. With most removal being very very threat specific, a lot of people just get discouraged bringing bile blights in vs rhinos and bringing banishing lights versus stormbreaths.

The deck itself is pretty sick.

Well yeah, but for the first time in a long time we have efficient answers for the threats and there isn't some bullshit card that requires a very narrow answer (looking at you Geist of St. Traft).

No disagreements here. I've felt UB control has been what this format needed especially during the mass devotion strats that plagued the format pre dragons.

Also just realized how ridiculous it is for me to be happy that the main bogeyman for this format is a lightning helix on a 4/5 trampling body from a control players perspective.

Finally ran out of phantom points, wherever the hell those came from, and did my first proper 8-4 in forever. Had a sweet U/B deck with a little High Priest / Sultai Emissary / Dutiful Attendant action. Really fun deck!

Exploit is such a sweet mechanic, so glad too after Cipher and all the mill that U/B has got in recent times.

I decided to start streaming and recording videos of me learning how to play Mono-U Tron on MTGO. It's rather amusing, and I threw the daily last night like crazy.

If anyone wants to give tips/tricks or just wants to watch I'll spoiler a link. + Show Spoiler +

Watched game 1 vs burn. Obviously the repeal was bad. Also keeping condescend on top with scry when you need land to cast wurmcoil is pretty bad. Maybe if you had mainphased thrist turn 5 to find more land you have a chance but when you just passed there it's over.

Yeah I learned a good bit from that match. Nobody plays burn in casuals so it's hard to get experience against it.

Will someone explain to a non-magic player why the prices of some of the Dragons of Tarkir cards like Dragonlord Atarka or Dragonlord Silumgar spiked recently?

They were used in a lot of high-performing decks in the Pro Tour so they spiked after that.

Hey I wouldn't have kept that hand vs slivers in game one. Tron can handle aggressive mulligans, and if you don't have a turn 2 play then it's probably not a keeper.
good vibes only

No idea he was playing Sliver obviously lol. But yeah, I no longer ever keep 1 landers.
