I am still so curious how so many people use sundering titan but do not consider/use torrential gearhulk. I know it is just a play call and double blue can be hard but it is just so good!
Awesome stuff! Glad people are playing this deck in paper. People always tout that control in modern is dead but mono u tron is amazing! I enjoy it when online articles highlight u tron but then again so much edge is gained by people that you play agaisnt that think your whole deck is a mindslvaer deck or sundering titan deck lol
Always been a huge fan and congrats on the finish! Dont get this deck banned now! I know you have explained this before but I still just dont get the 2 talismans over dismembers/spatials! They seem like the most lack-luster cards..... again congrats
also did you register it as gifts-tron or what cause i see non
This card will not help you win against titanshift. It is for the grind. Thoughtsize and stain the mind are great if you hit a timely one. Sorry to say but that matchup is not fun and without a great draw and mediocre draw on their end good luck. g/u elves with oracle and summon pact i beleive could win with sb unified wills and the overall explosiveness of that particular build. BUT, I have not tested it much you would have to ask purklfluff. (fyi he likes to give attitude =p )
ballista should really only be going in the trinket mage builds that shoktroopa champions it seems. i lean more towards pierakor style deck lists but its all a matter of preference. the one thing that is very nice about the ballista builds is the 2nd copy of snapcaster mage for flashing back removal and counters. but blue mana can be a scarcity in this deck
i am leaning towards the "small event" argument with this deck lol. if this really is the best elf variant in modern im going to feel very silly for all the effort i have put into the deck
Joraga may be the real deal, lol. Also, sideboard needs help. It's such a "funny" deck because it has zero fancy cards but all power. It would be hard to find a more consistent deck in modern. Even mono green stompy, this thing seems more streamlined lol. Also, arbor elf because he runs so many forests. He has soo many one drops that quickly can become overwhelming with lords and joraga. he is really running 7-10 lords with 20 one drops

also, no cavern because arbor cannot untap it
