Suggestions and advice accepted. I want to make at least one modern deck that is competitive to expand my knowledge, so this is what I came up with.

Is {steel hellkite} good enough for tron? I feel like {wurmcoil engine} is just so much stronger.

I was using the hellkite for its destroy ability against things like blood moon and, rarely, twin. I wouldn't be hurt if its cut, but would I add 1 more wurmcoil?

Lifelink, it's ability to get two more tokens when it dies makes it do much better. I have a tron deck and took hellkite out as it rarely did anything efficiently. I play 4 wurmcoils, have a look at MTG top 8 for some competetive monoblue tron decks, a lot of variation between some of them but with the basic building blocks.
Alrighty, will be changed in a second. Are there any other changes that could be made to improve the deck?

You need more finishers. I'd suggest {Blightsteel Colossus}, {Darksteel Colossus} can work too if you're on a budget. Up the Ugin and Karn count. They are game winningly good. I don't feel like {Talisman of Dominance} is necessary for this deck. I'd rather run more {Chromatic Sphere}. You can always {Expedition Map} an island if you really need to.

{Repeal} seems worse than {Cyclonic Rift}.

I'm not personally a huge fan of {Sundering Titan}. Others swear by it. {Platinum Angel} is a bit fragile.
