Honestly he probably just wanted to make sure that he could find a mountain, but a few fetches and a stomping grounds solves that problem. except that fetches make you a bit weaker to moon effects although these really don't do a whole lot against post because of beast within and sideboard hate.
Why the heck would you need a mountain under a moon effect!?!?!?!

WoTC, thank you for finally announcing the Modern format, an eternal format where everyone can participate.

You wouldn't, but now your fetchland is just a glorified mountain that you can't fetch forests with in a pinch. Sakura-tribe elder is unaffected. Nevertheless, no one runs any fetches that grab mountains, anyway. IT'S A BIT WEIRD, OK!?
Vine Trellis would be good in that slot but as Deku said, tribe elder makes the deck more consistent. With GSZ and elder, you should always be able to get an untapped red mana source in play by turn 4 to breach into emrakul.
Well, I kind of think already of 12post with through the breach banned.
What do you think of the reprint of mulch come innistrad? Not good enough I guess since it's 2 mana and doesn't ramp.
I really like Jesse's build from PT Philly. I'm going to run his exact list other than replacing 2 seal of primordium and a qasali pridemage with 3 naturalize. I like the fact that it hits at instant speed, so if they play anything that triggers during your upkeep, you can remove it before it hurts you.
On another note, why would they ban through the breach? It had 1 deck in the top 8 at Philly. There were 2 splinter twin combo decks and 2 pyromancer ascension decks in the top 8. I don't see how breachpost is unbalanced or broken in a format with plenty of turn 3/4 combo decks.
I think the new card from ISD devil's play is a little better than banefire.
banefire can't be countered. You the one that says things that can be countered are op then you suggest this?
For those who care Travis Woo has an article on Channelfireball.com that has the best list I have seen up to now. It also tells you why combo isn't that tough.

When I said the new one is a little better I obviously took into account that banefire is uncounterable lol, you think I'm stupid or something. The new one gives you 2 uses so they would have to counter both. And discard is better against banefire.
I was thinking that Devil's Play in Innistrad has a flashback... so why not give flashback to Banefire via Snapcaster Mage...
Seems pretty good in my opinion.
Anyways, would this deck work if you replaced the 12 posts with urzatron?
"Work" and "succeed" are two different things. That being said, I'm not sure what you're looking for, here. It's not like anyone in his right mind tested Urzakul while 12post was still legal. If you love the concept of this deck, give it a shot and see what happens, but it won't be the same.

as a degenerate combo deck no. Tron is only viable as a control deck, and doesn't lend itself well for turn 4 eldrazi. Also tron probably isn't good without chrome mox for the same reasons that any control deck that relies on thirst for knowledge, and gifts ungiven aren't.

If you're using fetchlands to fetch Mt.s, you had better be playing RDW

I'm sad that Cloudpost is gone and Emrakul is not. People will still find ways to abuse Emrakul.
