Sol Talisman looks a lot more like Lotus Bloom to me, and I think the same decks might want both.
Oops I used All is dust instead and I played my own Karn, grabbed liquimetal coating and shut off their land before they could play their own Karn.
I always find it funny how people always are so quick with "Oh yeah? But if I have x, y and z card you can't do anything haha you suck!". Yeah it may not be insane, but it looks interesting and playing something like that turn 1 could have potential versus decks with a lot of land hate. "But I have X, y, z against artifacts too!" Well you win some and you lose some. There's always something man...
I'm a much bigger fan of Urza's Saga in Green Tron (yes, it's taking up Relic of Progenitus slots) than Sol Talisman. Urza's Saga makes the Turn 4 Tron noticeably more consistent, cannot be targeted discarded or countered, makes dudes if I get it late, and doesn't get blown up by my own Oblivion Stone. It doesn't get completely hosed by opposing Karn GC (although I can't add more Tron pieces with it at this point). Sol Talisman leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I blow it up with my own O. Stone (honestly, I still can't get completely used to Ensnaring Bridge in my Karn board).
Keep in mind that Ponza and Amulet are also prone to using Karn GC, not just Tron decks.
Urza's Saga also lets Tron fight through land hate and notably gives the deck additional outs against Void Mirror.
Sol Talisman looks significantly better in Eldrazi Tron - I keep finding that 24 lands aren't enough there, and it doesn't play O. Stone - but it doesn't do anything for Eldrazi Tron's newfound Void Mirror weakness.
I don't know man, Urza's Saga doesn't look good to me and Ensnaring Bridge is one the best options to grab with Karn.
You're right it could work better in Eldrazi Tron, but like you said, Void Mirror is basically going to **** that deck up hehe. Maybe Eldrazi Tron needs to start packing some colours other than Cavern.

You know, why don't Wizards just ******* get it over with and ban the Tron lands? They have previously shown nothing's sacred in the past by banning Mox Opal killing a classic deck in the format and they clearly regret having ever made those lands.
Instead they endlessly release hate card after hate card, and does Tron even need anymore hate at this point with it's position in the meta? **** no.
******* ridiculous.
Looks like Arcbound Worker has become obsolete with this new cat and the flying modular insect thing. Very cool to see new cool modular cards. I hope they can give a little more edge to hardened scales (and whatever is left of different affinity decks hehe)

The coating is a worse Liquimetal Coating since it can't touch lands.
