Really interested in having this as my next modern deck, did it run well for you?

It seems as though this deck will never change. No matter how many sets that come out. You can't fix something not broken and this deck is the epitomy of perfect.

The only change is Master of Etherium vs Etched Champion - some decks run a different balance between the two.

^^^ Yup! But what I was saying was no newer cards ever get thrown in there lol but yes those two are always getting switched around number wise.

But how does it fair against the other staple formats?

What exactly do you mean by other formats? Like legacy and vintage or do you mean the other decks that are already in the modern format?

Sorry I meant the other staple decks in the format like TRON, Merfolk, and infect

Well affinity can stop pretty much any deck by turn 3-4 so it's amazing against tron. Any deck with a bunch of cheap spot removal will be difficult to play against such as burn or jund. Other than that, it dominates unless you have to mulligan. Also, there's a bunch of sideboard hate for it and that's rough.

Pyroclasm says affinity doesn't kill tron before t3, then tron takes over, so... ;)

This is true! Lol

It will never cease to amaze me Taysby's belief that Tron can end up with the exact card it needs, 100% of the time, on the exact turn it needs it, while every other deck has to follow the rules of probability ;)
