Title: Sold my shocks. Building Gifts Tron!
Post by: Thetrufflehunter on December 07, 2014, 10:56:59 PM
Just sold a ton for $370 store credit on CFB. I am now going to build U/W gifts tron with my credit. Yay!

I've played both briefly for a time, and I gotta say I enjoy UW gift tron more. However, I do hate sitting across from RG tron more than UW. I guess it depends on who you are.

Not sure what the price difference is. (Correct me if I'm wrong Taysby) GR tron is all about inevitability. They want largely the same play sequence every game. In UW tron you have a multitude of options that you can choose from. Your gameplan will vary based on what you're playing against. It just depends on if you like steamrolling over your opponent or being more interactive. GR tron has better and more consistent Tournament Results but don't let that stop you. I stopped playing my UWR Flash control deck to play Turbo-fog and I'm loving it.

GR tron is about throwing down bombs they can't deal with turn 3.  Gifts is more control tron.

And price of rg tron?  4 grove of the burn willows, 4 earn, 1 emmy, 4 wurmcoil engine... Not cheap...

4 {Earn} damn that's expensive! Just build any other modern deck tbh!! Lol jk just wanna piss off Taysby :P

My darn metalworker was apparently heavily played, so my total comes to $298. I can buy MOST of gifts tron.... What is everyone's favorite list?

Before you buy it all are you sure you want to get Gifts Tron? It's not well positioned in the meta imo

I really like the control aspect. What would you recommend at the $300 range?

What made it HP? Sounds like they duped you for the foil if you got less than $100...

I would keep an eye on their stock of foil metalworkers.

CFB's standards are quite high, I have sent in stuff before that is near perfect and had it graded HP, but I have also bough HP cards from them that are really only slightly played.

That's why i am ok with buying damaged cards from them.  My "damaged" volcanic island just came with a little whitening on the back.

It's ok to buy cards like that but I would've shopped a card I was selling more. But that's me

If I were you Truffle, I would wait until the Fate Reforged banlist announcement if you can; Modern will likely change even if {Treasure Cruise} and or {Jeskai Ascendency} aren't banned. Modern prices aren't really moving too much because everyone is deathly afraid of Modern Masters and most of the "End of the Year Sales" and "Holiday Sales" are BS, with a few exceptions. I looked at the exact prices to finish my {Hisoka, Minamo Sensei} EDH deck, and by the time I got around to order the cards, they were on "sale" for the End of the Year Sale, but almost all of the prices were the same and a few actually went up. Not all sales are like that though, so if you really are getting a decent deal, think about pulling the trigger (SCG has some decent deals, got Voices @ $13, {Mutavault} @ $10, etc.).

It's just shy of $500 with fetches on tcg... The tron list is closer to $300-$350 on CFB, where I have $300 credit...
