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). | ||

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

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. | ||

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. | ||
