Title: Tron Decklist
Post by: LadyGrixis on July 05, 2014, 03:14:32 PM
So, I'm building a Modern Tron now! And I've already collected all the Karns and lands necessary; but I'm not exactly set on a list.

Any pointers on which decklist is best? Or are they all about the same?

Well I don't know a whole lot about tron, but I do know that R/G tron gets ABSOLUTELY wrecked by my {living end} deck whereas blue tron does much better due to having counterspells :p

Play merfolk instead. Much better deck. Naw, in my opinion, R/G Tron is much better than Mono-U version...

my one problem with tron is that it gets 100% wrecked by UR twin and most combo decks. RUG twin is slightly better, but not by much.

Well every deck has its strengths and weaknesses. It will always be weak against some; and those may just be my matches to lose. But that's just part of the game :)

I'm excited to death about FINALLY making a Modern deck!

I have answers to those decks.

except by not running the spheres, you make it harder to cast and find your answers.

I really appreciate everyone's help here; I'm also about to post up a whole slew of EDH/Modern/Legacy cards I have for trade to get the rest of my deck finished hopefully ^_^
