Title: Shuts down gifts Tron?
Post by: An Angry Fatman on May 22, 2016, 11:47:37 AM
For the second week in a row, the only deck I lost to was Gifts Tron. My matchup against Tron is bad in general and the only time I defeat these decks is when I get a T4. I play GW Humans and gifts has so many board wipes that I can't keep up. Any good sideboard cards against Tron? I pair up pretty well against most other decks, but Tron is my nemisis. Any suggestions?

I have been trying to think about cards to sideboard, but nothing comes to mind

{root born defense} side board for the wipes. Also some sort of grave hate for the creature that unburial rites targets. For instance {rest in peace} or {scavenging ooze} or {relic of progenitus} even {Tormods crypt} works. Maybe {aven mindsensor} to stop the search from gifts too.

Also another thing to consider is every deck just has a bad matchup and this could possibly be yours.

{Stony Silence} is huge

Also {Surgical Extraction}

How many {Ghost Quarters} do you run?

Short of splashing red for {Crumble to dust} it is tough to rely on land destruction to keep them off tron. Graveyard hate is probably your best bet.

I don't run any {Ghost Quarter} because I need my colors :( the only thing I could swap out for them is {Gavony Township}. I have 2 {Stony Silence} and 3 {Rest in Peace} in sideboard but they don't seem to be enough...

Do you run {AEther Vial}? If do you can be a bit more lenient on your manabase. But still if you're only a 2 color deck GQ/{Tectonic Edge} should be fine
