Notes:
I wanted to make this deck after my legacy affinity, but I have a banned card, so now it's casual.

Any reason why you're not using {blinkmoth nexus}, {inkmoth nexus}, or {cranial plating}?

Ertai

wow... I totally forgot to put Cranial Plating in!!

The Nexus' I don't really feel I need... as the infect doesn't really do it for me...  I have enough win con's to win.  Tezzeret, Broodstar, Etched Champ...

though, Etched Champ + Cranial Plating = win.

I knew I forgot something!  Thanks!

Or {darksteel citadel}?

You're a saint.

It's been a while since I re-put this together.

fj76ts4

While we're at it, {glimmervoid} and {arcbound ravager}. I always wanted to make modern affinity, could never afford the mox opals and ravagers :(

Really? They're not very expensive. You could always trade for them?

fj76ts4

Well, opals are still $35 each, although ravagers aren't that expensive, you're right. I think altogether, G(r) tron was still cheaper, which is why I went with that. Also, I don't think opals are that commonly found in trade binders on imtg :P

Urza lands, land tutors. eye of ugin, emrakul, karn, wurmcoils. Also ~12 board wipes and some eggs.

Ertai

Is it some kind of deck? Or a name for a type of card?

abstractApathist

If you're playing casual, you might as well put {Seat of the Synod} and {Vault of Whispers} in over basics...

Thanks, thought of that when Darksteel Citidel was recommended. So I'll put those in instead of Darksteel Citidel.

Tron's a general name for using the urza lands (tower, power plant, mine). G(r) tron aims to land karn liberated on turn 3-4 and disrupt for 3-5 more turns before it drops emrakul.

Ertai

Yeah. I'm not aiming for any of that.
