Counters scapeshift and summer bloom, a removal spell against infect, lots of situations where it'll be a good card to bring in

i think the total value will merit a sideboard slot or two

They have a huge advantage against tron in that they previously didn't need to even bother and can just jam their combo as fast as physically possible without fear

Beating one counter is not as easy (even if it is still easy) as beating zero counters and you know you don't need to beat more than zero counters because there are none in the deck

Exiles Pestermite and Exarch, counters Summer Bloom, kills Infect guys, counters Scapeshift and Living End. It does pretty good work against most of Tron's worst matchups.

I'm not saying it won't be played... I will test it myself. I've just been loving Rending Volley in Tron and I'm not sure about cutting that for this. Also if you're stirring's for it you're kinda telling them they need to play around it.

I don't think I cut Rending Volley, but there are sideboard cards I could cut for this (I've been loving Boil, but having a sorcery counterspell in the 75 if probably better in every situation I like Boil for as well as making it that much harder for Twin to t4 me)

What's the list for this WB Eldrazi deck? I'm only really finding mono-black versions. I have a foil Eye of Ugin and a Japanese foil Eye of Ugin, and I never want to buy Scalding Tarns, so I want to try it.

It's basically incredibly similar only with Lingering Souls, Path to Exile and better sideboard options.

I don't like Boil at all in Tron. It's bad vs Twin and the while it's good vs Grixis, Tron should destroy Grixis anyway. I've been running 3-4 rending volley's in the 75 so that would be the first logical cut.

That looks pretty neat to me TBH

The card's sweet, I wonder if it's Modern playable?

Aside from in Tron, because that's actually a ridiculous Scapeshift counter for the sideboard.

Whoever decided flashback drafts shouldnt have swiss options should be shot. Like, why do you expect people to play formats they don't know, and that won't be around for more than a week, when they might only get to play a single game of them for 10$?

Ya this is a better list than the mono black one. There's been a few spoilers that can replace things like the Blight Herders and maybe even the Ulamog.

Again, I liken the deck to playing Jund with fewer colors.

There's a lot of irritating blue decks at the store I play at and local ptq type stuff (it's in there partially to help beat win the U/UW tron matchup, to explain just how weird we are talking) but eldrazi charm will have way more game against way more decks

Eldrazi charm can also help this plan by snagging a search for tomorrow/farseek/explore to buy a full extra turn to land ulamog if you've got it in your hand and realize you're going to be just too slow (which happens all the time in my experience)

EW. GR Tron is probably the only deck that U Tron has a decent matchup against.

I just love Ashiok as a card. Probably my favorite playable pw. I hope this deck becomes a hit because I want a home for her again.

With BloomTitan it's incredibly depending on what you counter and what they kept. Sometimes a Spell Pierce or Spell Snare turns a medium hand into an incredibly dead one.

Incorrect on both counts. It's good against all of the decks RG is good against, if not quite as good, and it's a lot better against things like burn and infect. RG used to be a good match up until they printed Newlamog which is basically unbeatable.

That does make sense.. Though I'm pretty sure that we won't need to worry about the Amulet Bloom matchup by the time Wail is legal to be played.

One gigantic exception (at least gigantic in my local meta) is Merfolk, where U Tron comes off real, real bad

So bad that I was finally inspired to get around to putting GR Tron together (as i'd been planning to for a while, at the time) after going 0-3 drop against three merfolk decks

THE RESERVED LIST! THE RESERVED LIST! I CANNOT SHUT UP ABOUT THE RESERVED LIST!
I don't know if anyone pointed this out already or if it's even intentional, but I like that while the Kozilek stuff is often colorful in its artwork, it's usually dominated by colors like yellow, pink and purple. In other words, not colors that correspond to one of the colors of mana.

There's green and blue shades in there too, but they strike me as weird, like sickly or "off" or something... not what you'd usually pick to evoke those colors in artwork.

Tron is a T1 deck right now and it's getting 4-5 new playables in this set. Pretty nuts.
