I was watching modern on untap and a guy goes:
T1 {Oboro Palace in the Cloyds}
T2 Island into {Condescend}
T3 {Academy Ruins} into a {Treasure Mage}
T4 island into {Exhibition Map}
Then T5 HE FINALLY plays his first tron land lol I thought Taysby would like this lol
He also kept his 7

Bahahahahahahahahhaahaha I'm pretty sure Taysby just died a little not the inside lmfao
I don't see the hype with any Tron. Expensive PW, expensive flying creature, and a fragile mana base that never stay Tron lands against my deck... Sorry Taysby 😜

Is closer to $400, and I disagree that it's tier 2.
That's still a lot of money. It's T2 at best, no better. It can't hold it's ground. My decks stomp face to it.
I gotta side with Taysby here bc RG Tron is a great deck. If they hit tron by turn 5 (which is90% of the time) it's really hard to stop the storm of Karn wurmy eye into emrakul
I saw a lot of Tron at the PTQ I judged this past weekend, in both RG and Mono-U variants... and all at the bottom tables through the day. Even NyxWave did better than at least 95% of them :P

What time will you be available for untap.in?
Never, my internet browsers don't work on my computer. When will you be available for Cockatrice?

That's because it's not my style. I revamped rg tron.
What do you mean, re-vamped? Your deck excluding SB is nearly identical to the RG Tron I play on Cockatrice... And a LOT more people use Cockatrice than Untap.in

I don't run 8 eggs, I only run 4. That makes me be able to play more bombs. Not all lists run sundering titan. I do. Also, the sideboard is what makes the largest difference. It turns pod into 55-45 for me, into 75-25 for me. It turns rdw into 60-40 for them to 75-25 for me, etc. All the major decks are included to give my deck a huge advantage.
Are you saying you beat Pod and RDW? That's total crap, no offense, if you're referring to the high tier versions of each.
Quote from: Taysby on July 31, 2014, 04:35:08 PM
what can rdw do against {witchbane orb}? and as soon as i swing once with my {wurmcoil engine} (turn 4) I gain 6 life. Good luck burning me then.
pod can't go infinite against {relic of progenitus} {grafdiggers cage}. {pyroclasm} wipes their board, and if that doesn't, {oblivion stone does} {karn liberated} eats thier land and they can't do anything, etc.
A) Kill them before it drops.
B) Splash white for artifact removal.
C) CREATURES.
Pod should crush you. They do crush you.

a sometimes that happens g1, but side helps a lot g2 and g3.
b do i care? I still have other options and when wurmcoil dies, i still have stuff
c did you see the boardwipes I have?
Did you see the results of GP whichever it was? East coast, Pod was everywhere.

And my deck hoses pod...
I agree with you Taysby .. Up until there lol Pod can hose you very easily with {Qasali Pridemage} and the new {Reclamation Sage} they're infinite combo (in Game 1) is too much for you and post board their hand disruption and artifact hate is what'll wreck you
Taybsy your ignorance is what's killing you it's {BIRTHING POD}!!!! A 1 of is really a 7 of bc of Chord and pod
But with cards like {Reveilark} and {Eternal Witness} it can ...

By the time that they've played pod, sacred it, sacred a 2 or 5 to pod, played it again, I'm playing Emmy, or going to town on a karn, or have popped a no stone so it doesn't matter.
You realize they are playing too right? They are playing combos and hand disruption ... So just be careful
Taysby, judging by your knowledge of the modern format, I'm gonna guess you haven't played too much of it. Pod hoses tron. It's usually not even a close match...
Tron does hose pod. Pod has a hard time fighting against landbase decks because they are a creature based deck that don't fight against decks decks that stop creatures.
Angel Pod is the best version of Pod that can fight against Tron because of the hand destruction, as it plays a different game that isn't on the board.
And Taysby, just shut the hell up. Mono U Tron is an amazing deck and price doesn't determine that. Mono U Tron is putting up more consistent results than GR Tron at the moment, as well.
Also, you didn't revamp GR Tron at all just by taking out 2 cards. Revamping a deck means changing the way it plays it's matchups. Edel didn't revamp BG Rock with souls, but introduce new tech to play different matchups.
Also, all of you guys need to stop with the ego fest of what deck is better than what as you haven't played them out. OStone and Pyroclasm are complete houses against Pod, which is why it has such a good match up. Pod doesn't wreck Tron because there is a different game to plan that Pod doesn't know how to fight, but that is why some created Angel Pod.
Oh, if you want to argue with me, be my guest, but don't be an idiot like how all of you guys are and have always been. I am tired of trying to help you guys get better if you won't ever learn.

Ok, so I have been hard on mono u. I feel it just isn't as consistent so I like to make fun of it.
Mono U Tron is consistent enough to have results and that is all that matters.
