I like that, not sure tho seeing as that can mess up my Tron lands that way, I'll have to see. Maybe, I can take out treasure Mage and put the {gifts ungiven} in their stead..

Yes they can although any smart player will predominately trash the ones I need, and also I always mulligan if I only have one opening hand. Most the time I keep opening hand is with 2 separate Tron lands and an {expedition map} lol it's rough but it's the key

Also, believe it or not {forbidden research} has helped me win games! I also forgot to mention I have the Ugin planes walker in here an he singlehandedly won one game for me by blasting everything off the board with his negative and then Pumping him up to get Emrakul on the board! Was amazing

I have Ugin in here just forgot to put him on the list! And Forbidden is great because the only cards that matter in the deck can't go to the graveyard! And remand is great but pricy, I may take it and use it instead of mana leak after a while

Lol it may be but I like that fourth card and keeping what I need lol I read the card wrong when I first glanced at it I thought you had to get rid of two of the three you drew lol but forbidden knowledge to me seems quicker simply because that fourth card 😁 could just s me being stubborn in my ways lol I may run it and see how it feels!

I'm gonna jump in and advocate for thirst all day here. Seeing the 4th card doesn't help if you're only getting one. 25% over 66%. You have more than enough artifacts that you should have something to toss out, netting you two cards instead of the single.  If you want to take first place, instead of 2nd, I would think that thirst is a place to start.

I have no assistance for sideboard because my first  recommendation would be {defense grid} (because I've played Gr Tron for a long time) but you have too many instant speed spells to try and do that.

Be sure to let all of us know how it goes! Hopefully the recommendation works out good for you!
