Is there a current deck list somewhere the deck list on the first page is super old and the one on mtgnexus looks just as old. I really liked this deck when i played it, but it has been years since ive done anything with it. I tore it apart and just looking to put it back together but with current cards.
How many people want to experiment with a different deck in tournament? Most people will just play decks that are known to win and stick with that so they have a better shot at getting into the top 8.
woohoo chalice is getting reprinted hopefully i can pick up a few to add to the deck.
One of my favorite plays late in the game when they are almost dead is to remove a couple of counters for ballista then repeal him back to my hand for just 1 blue and then recast him for 6 or 7 and hit them in the face done that a few times and has worked out well. I added a Basilisk Collar to combo with ballista as i want to see how well this works.

Do you consider your deck more of artifact deck with blue control?
Blue Tron isn't about getting tron assembled as quickly as possible to play Karn, it's about controlling the other person while you get all the pieces. If you are trying to assemble Tron fast then blue isn't the color to do it in. I am always holding mana open for counters, but what is your normal turn 1 play? The only thing we can do is play expidition as nobody is playing spell pierce, why not get a card draw and see what your next cards are. With supreme will costing the same as thirst which one is better. On turn three i can either counter or thirst and if i counter it puts me a turn behind anyways so whats the difference?
I love my blue tron deck, it's my main deck (as i hav the most money in cards in here) but it's a slow deck. I always tell people if you don't kill me quickly you're not going to win. I've had many a game down to 1 or 2 life and they still at 20 and then drop a wurmcoil or platinum angel and win, it's such a great feeling.
But for agro decks we have to be faster, so my question is why not play serum over thirst?
Currently I run 4 thirsts but why is thirst so much better than serum visions.
Thirst:
3 mana (1blue and 2 colorless)
draws three cards (have to discard 2 or 1 artifact)
instant
Serum:
1 mana (blue)
draws 1 card but scry 2 (you still get to see 3 cards and don't have to discard to grave, and if you bottom deck it can grab it with gifts later)
sorcery
You can play serum turn 1 instead of turn 3, it's a lot cheaper to recast with snapcaster. I understand sorcery speed is not ideal but 3 mana is a lot in the beginning especially if you have to use 2 to crack an expedition map.
I also love torrential as he is my favorite card in the deck and don't understand why more people don't play him (a free gifts when he lands whats not to love?).
