Star Man posted:I saw someone play a precursor of the deck at a Modern PTQ in January, 2013. They had the general strategy of the deck down and played an assload of lands and beat me to death with Primeval Titan. I do remember them playing Oboro, Palace in the Clouds to recur landfall effects, but I don't remember what for. I ended up winning the match 2-1 with UR Faeries on the back of Blood Moon. In fact, I placed ninth at that PTQ on the back of Blood Moon. I don't think I won a single game one and nearly all of my wins came from riding Blood Moon to victory. Did it make a bunch of mana then tooth and nail for patron of the moon and Ob?

Apparently, I got cheated in the first round of my second pre-release. Guy had had way too many uncommons and the judge caught him. Still won the match 2-1 though, and I never even noticed he had added cards. I do so love getting 2 zendikar resurgant and and a call of the gatewatch in my second pool, but the foil Ob Nix makes up for it. Endbringer is just so good.

mcmagic posted:You have to get it's "flashback" in order for it to be good and that is hard to do before dying since you'd need to cast in first on T3 with a red and then have tron soon after to cast a fatty before you die. World Breaker is the card you have to be playing in Tron from OGW. mcmagic posted:It's a game winner against the mirror and the Bx Eldrazi deck for 3 less mana than Newlomog. It blocks everything in the format. A lot of times it's just Karn's 5 and 6. You're also going to play against a lot of decks that want to Blood Moon you early but don't have a quick clock and it those cases, hard casting it off 7 lands and a egg just wins you the game. This is main deck blood moon hate that can't be countered. The card is insane. Whats your list? Looks like I need to test it before regionals.

I'm never going to have enough time to get a decent amount of testing in before Saturday.

Anyone know of a good primer? http://manadeprived.com/drafting-innistrad-for-dummies/ Money cards from Innistrad: http://mtg.dawnglare.com/?p=viz&s=ISD The spell lands are all good, but the B/R one is worst of them.

The one pack of Dark Ascension waters down the consistency of the ISD strategies enough that they are a lot tougher to assemble. It also has several powerful b/w tribal enablers to make it the strongest color combo. And w/u fliers gets a lot of new fliers as well. It does have Lost in the Woods which if you can do it makes it worth it.

Finally getting around to typing this up. Deck: G/R Tron //dudes 3 Wurmcoil Engine 2 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger 1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn //spells 4 Ancient Stirrings 4 Expedition Map 4 Chromatic Sphere 4 Chromatic Star 3 Pyroclasm 1 Kozilek's Return 4 Sylvan Scrying 3 Oblivion Stone 4 Karn Liberated 1 Ugin, the Spirit Dragon 2 Warping Wail //lands 4 Urza's Mine 4 Urza's Power Plant 4 Urza's Tower 4 Grove of the Burnwillows 1 Eye of Ugin 1 Snow-Covered Forest 2 Ghost Quarter //Sideboard 3 Nature's Claim 1 Life from the Loam 1 Crumble to Dust 1 Pithing Needle 2 Ancient Grudge 2 Spellskite 2 Thragtusk 1 Warping Wail 2 Relic of Progenitus  Display deck statisticsThis is what I took to SCG regionals Chicago. I went 7-2, and finished in 29th place out of 400. Sideboard is a little bit of a mess as I had barely anytime to test anything. R1 - 2-0 vs. Jeskai Prowess. He had swift spears and storm chaser mages and some burn spells, and a slow keep game 1 and I killed two lands with Ulamog, and then he scooped to the second Ulamog as he didn't have a second path. Game 2 he got me down to 1 but I claimed my own chromatic star to go up to 5 and Ulamog finished it off. R2 - 2-0 vs. Grixis Control(??) Not exactly sure what he was running, but game 1 he bolted me and snapcaster bolted me and attack once then Ulamog did his thing. He had main deck spreading seas and at least one blood moon, but I had plenty of mana to do my thing. Warping wail countered a thoughtsieze after he remanded Ulamog (  ) Game 2 was similar, but I was able to ride a wurmcoil to victory after EOT exiling a master of waves with Warping Wail.R3 - 1-2 vs. Naya Burn. Game 1 was a pretty typical burn vs. tron game 1. I try and get may mana going and he kills me. Warping Wail counters a Rift Bolt. Game 2 I'm able to get my mana going and use a Warping Wail to counter a molten rain then kill two of his lands with Ulamog to by my self a ton of time. I attack, exile half his deck fetch a wurmcoil with the eye play it and claim a sphere to go up to 7 and he scoops it up. Game 3 he kills me on turn 3 on the play. R4 - 2-1 vs. Dredgevine. Game 1 I do my thing with a turn 3 wurmcoil and turn 4 ugin and there isn't much he can do about it. Game 2 I keep a cruddy 6 and he thoughtsiezes me and takes a sylvan scrying and I never draw anymore lands besides the 2 I started with. Game 3 he get dredging pretty good and I have to exile some of his creatures with Ulamog's cast trigger instead of lands. But most of his dudes can't block so I hit him down to 5 and leave him just a few cards left in the library. He dredges, gets his last vengevine and hits me down to 6 then then plays a satyr wayfinder to flip over his last card which is a land. I attack with Ulamog one more just make sure all his library is gone and he dies on the drawstep. R5 - 2-1 vs. Infect. I turn 4 Ulamog him and he doesn't draw enough creatures to get there. Warping Wail exiles a Blighted Agent. Also loving the second Ghost quarter for this matchup. Game 2 I try to Kozilek's Return an Agent in response to a Might of Old Krosa but he has a Mutagenic Growth and I'm dead. Game 3 I get Ugin out and use him to control the board after he gets me to 9 poison counters. Quarter the Inkmoths, Wail the agents/glisteners, just keep anything with infect off the table. I'm able to ultimate Ugin get a karn, pithing needle, and some other stuff then cast the Ulamog I drew for the exile trigger to wrap it up. R6 - 1-2 vs. G/W Hatebears with Wilt-Leaf Liege (not sure if thats normal for them). Game 1 I do the typical tron thing and he GQ's me but I can still keep up my mana and Ugin + Ulamog wins it. Game 2 I he gets a turn 2 or 3 Stony Silence and I can never get going with his land hate. Game 3 I mull to a cruddy 5 and he gets Arbitor and Mindcensor out and I can't recover. R7 - 2-0 vs. no opponent. After the delay due to the smoke billowing out of the air vents the judges announce that there will be no game losses for tardiness, but the match loss at 10 minutes still applies and I get a free win. R8 - 2-1 vs. G/R scapeshift. Game 1 I play the land death game and kill all the mountains I can. Ulamog's cast trigger prompts the scoop. Game 2 I keep a slow hand and he Crumble to Dust's one of my tron lands and then gets a prime time and I scoop it up. Game three is a long one and I am able to get him down to 7, but he crumbles my towers and mines and I am stuck on mana for the majority of the game. Before he does that though I still an Ugin and able to eventually ultimate him putting in some near useless maps, 2 stars , a spellskite, and a Oblivion Stone. We go to time. On turn 2 of 5 he plays a titan and I redirect the valakut triggers to the spellskite with the stars to keep my Ugin around, but he bolts Ugin to kill him. I know he has 2 scapeshifts in hand from an earlier Crumble on my part so I leave up mana to either warping wail or activate O-Stone to kill his titan and Prismatic Omen. He goes to attack I pop the stone and he scapeshifts for his last valakut but I don't think he was able to kill me. I play a wurmcoil on turn 5 and thats the game. Opponent gives me the win which was very kind of him, and I'm going into round 9 with a chance to top 32. R9 - 2-1 vs. B/C Eldrazi. Game 1 I keep an ok hand and he has a rather slow start with a 1/1 endless one. He draws 3 ghost quarters and I cant keep up with him and he wins it with 2 mimics and a reshaper. Game 2 I keep a good hand and he doesn't have the disruption from game 1 and he scoops to an Ulamog cast trigger. Game 3 I keep a good hand and I GQ a temple then am able to Crumble his Eye's slowing him down by a lot. He still gets a smasher out and is forced to throw a couple guys at a karn and I get to kill the smasher with a deathtouch wurm and chump a 2/2 endless one with the lifelink one to keep my life up. He pinks at me with blinkmoths while I try to find a red source to Kozilek's return them and the mutvault he was about to attack with but I never can get it. I draw an Ulamog, cast it, and he scoops it again. Warping Wail was sweet. I was very happy to have the 2 main deck. Kozilek's return was very meh, as I only cast it the one time vs. infect. Probably should have done it on my turn to bait the growth. Needs more testing for sure.

mcmagic posted:Agree with you on Kozilek's Return. It's not great. I know i'm a broken record on this but going forward with this deck, you need at least 2x World Breaker's main. I was going to throw one in the board but forgot to do it as I was rushing to make it in time. I'm going to try it for sure.
