Yeah same for me, colorless eldrazi stompy is somehow boring and too linear to me. I would miss the spicy cards like Ulamog, All is Dust or Ballista. Eldrazi Tron is a little bit like gambling, good hands can feel very exciting whereas bad hands dont do a lot and can be quite frustating. ETron has often been described as very consistent, i dont really see that, i think the deck has a pretty high variance. That keeps it interesting but makes it a bad choice for players who want a very reliable deck. Sometimes I wish i had a more reliable deck and i try something else like burn or affinity, but in the end i always come to the same conclusion: I play ETron or no magic. Smashers and Ulamogs are just too cool
I am not very happy either when i see Damping Sphere across the the table. Some people say Eldrazi Tron is not very much harmed by DampSph but i disagree. T5 Smashers are not very threatening in Modern. We need mana accelaration, otherwise we are just a pretty slow beat-down deck, which gets killed before it kills.
Being in colorless, there are not many answers to DS. One is Ratchet Bomb, the other is the new Ratchet Land, Blast Zone. (Chalice is not an option imo, there is no way you can cast it for x=2 before T3 when DS is already on the field)
Ratchet and Blast can remove Damping on T4 earliest. These tools are surely not ideal, but thats the price we pay for playing a colorless deck. At least Blast Zone has a pretty low effort to include it in the deck, because you can always just use it as a colorless land if you dont need the removal and it is searchable via map. I have the strong feeling it fits perfectly in Eldrazi Tron for these reasons.
About the Scourge: I dont see how the London Mulligan makes it any better without Serum Powder. Am I missing something?
Personaly i am not super convinced by new Ugin. I find 6 non-Eldrazi Mana are a tough spot, because it means you either have to have tron online or its pretty late game und you already played most of your handcards. Both ways I expect new Ugins static ability not to be very relevant. The removal and the Tokens are nice but i am not sure it is enough.
Hey, very sweet deck!! I love all those japanese first editions, very well done!!
I went the the foil route for my deck and also some japanese editions, but only for the eldrazi spells. Couldn't help to take some pictures of my current eldrazi tron binder:
Hey guys what do you think about Blast Zone for Eldrazi Tron? I am pretty excited about it. I feel it might be the best utility land we could wish for, flexibel removal in a land slot - perfect. I will try it for sure and drop Ghost Quarter and maybe a Cavern for it.
