I have a question about Conduit of Ruin and Kozilek, the Great Distortion. Normally I'd need 10 mana (tron and another tower) to cast Kozilek.
If I already have Conduit of Ruin on the table, then Kozilek, the Great Distortion will cost 8 mana. What if I have two Conduit of Ruin?
Kozilek will cost 8 mana or 6 mana? Thanks!
1. What colors of mana would you find acceptable to wield?
White cards are my favorite, I like white creatures cheap on mana, white enchantments and auras, white instants - all very strong, and white plainswalkers Elspeth and Gideon are the best.
Which ones would you disapprove of?
Black cards are the worst. I don't like any of them.
2. Out of the revealed planes, which one would your prefer as your home?
Alara is very nice
Which would you most likely avoid? Why?
Kamigawa, as I don't speak japanese
3. List these factors in order of how they impact your decisions:
information, morality, instinct, emotion, ambition
4. List these items in order of most essential, to least:
technology, wealth, nature, laws, freedom
5. Which of these is most important?
E. Your immediate family
6. How do you express yourself? List all that apply.
B. Showing the depth of my knowledge.
C. Proving I am stronger than those around me.
E. Fulfilling my natural role.
In discussing the jeskai ascendancy deck; they win either through a 20/20 mana dork or using the blood side of flesh/blood. With that in mind options to stall would be something like fog or ricochet trap (which would probably win outright for you).
Sadly you can't cast ricochet trap in response to flesh/blood, it's illegal.
Ricochet trap Card Text: If an opponent cast a blue spell this turn, you may pay Red rather than pay Ricochet Trap's mana cost.
Change the target of target spell with a single target.
Flesh/blood Card Text: Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature or player. So there are two targets in this spell.
The rulings say If a spell targets multiple things, you can't target it with Ricochet Trap, even if all but one of those targets have become illegal.
I'm only learning to play Red Green Tron, I only have experience of two months. Right now I am in need of advise from experienced players. I was reading this thread in hope to learn more, but today I finally registered on these forums, well, to ask my questions.
Also I want to post my choice of what I side in and side out once I have the understanding what sort of deck my opponent plays

It was very difficult for me to start playing modern, because I had little epxperience and I didn't know the most popular decks. I'm learning very slowly, I sometimes get very upset as I see young people laughing at me when I make mistakes. But I love RG Tron, I think this is the best deck for me. It can do miracles, I just need to learn more about how to play it and avoid mistakes. I can sometimes win through Stony Silence and Blood Moon, but my greatest problem is Tectonic Edge and Fulminator Mage, I lose to Junk because the opponent destroys my urza lands, I hope Crucible of Worlds can help me.
I hope greatly to hear your opinion about my deck list, and all your thoughts about my plans for side boarding are greatly appreciated. Do you think any changes must be made? Any replacements of the cards? I'll be waiting for your answers.

I have Crucible of Worlds for hatebears and their Ghost Quarters. I was able to win against them 2-1. The one I lost was when I had Urza's Mine - Expedition Map on my first turn, and opponent had Ghost Quarter my tower, then Surgical Extraction into tower, and I was unable to get Tron. Otherwise it was fine - pyroclasm into the creatures, also o'stone helps, then I killed him with wurmcoils.
