MTG Salvation

i went 3-0 last night with my current list. did not face any bgx or other tron though.

my comment about this deck, ballista's are plain awesome. played against agro and he's the mvp.



vs mono white hoomans 2-1
vs affinity 2-1
vs jeskai combo draw
vs uw control 2-0

top seat for misty rainforest.

my thoughts vs bgx with assasins trop. its really not a problem. the main problem we really have against bgx is hand disruption. they play 7-9 hand disruption.which makes us hard to interact with threats. than they kill our lands with AT. i say running spellpierce and dispell 2nd game. then opt to use more bounce spell.

playing 4 dismember?

what do you guys think of bgx deck with assasins trop?

So, in the end.

I told you guys to remove Angel because it isn’t good in this meta. Lots of complains. Then Shoktroopa removes it and suddenly everyone start to think about it.

I told you guys to improve the Ballista count because it’s too good in the deck. Lots of complains. Shoktroopa starts to play two copies and everyone begin approving the choice.

I told you guys that we should run more interaction in the first turns. Lots of complains. Then people slowly started to play Snare e Dismember maindeck again.


Maybe you should start thinkIng with your own head, instead of focusing on what most people do ^^

i was running ballista and tks... then i sold it for wurmcoils, now im just waiting for the rotation. ballista will always be good for any tron list.

Gearhulk and Snapcaster Mage have different roles. Snap can be played on turn two as a blocker, on turn three to recycle a Dismember and on turn four to recycle a Repeal. It can hit Condescend, which is crucial vs Combo and Big Mana. Gearhulk cover another spot.

while yes i do understand that you can cast snappy on an early turn to recycle spells,it does not really control the board state, and turn 2-4 you would have some spells handy. the main problem with tron is those 5th onward turn that we dont have threats on board. recycling dismember with snappy hurts you more than help you especially on an agro meta. plus you cant recur or search snappy with treasure mage.

1st match vs allies

the match was very unfavorable, but spending a lot of slot for removals for this kind of matchup is really worth it, plus,saved by treasure mage to torrential gearhulk, controlling the board state before landing wurmcoilswon 2 games.

2nd match with uw control

again, treasure mage to torrential gearhulk proved its effectiveness as it stalled the game ubtil wurmcoil engine tookover. spellskite then took its place sb game. won with 3 games.

3rd match with gw hatebears

lost pretty bad against this one, havinng all the land hate on that deck, lost with 3 games.

last round against 5c humans

best match ever,saved by spellskite in game 2. fullswing against my 4 land board state with spellskite and oblivion stone, blocked 1 creature and i was down 2. i have my 5th land at hand and activated oblivion stone on his next turn during combat. eot torrential gearhulk to memory saved the day. casting ugin, activating ugins ultimate and landing 2 wurmcoils, won with 2 games.

all in all, was happy about gearhulks as it can be fetched by treasure mage. can also be reccured from graveyard. compared to snap, it gives the opponent 4 turns. buy it now guys before its too late

will post more result and other variations soon.

thanks, cause my list as of the moment involves red. too much agro in the phillipine meta. kozilek's return in mainboard is a must. will share my list if there is any positive results

what is the most recent list for mono u tron?

so its gonna get grindy and all. it feels like, wotc is killing big mana decks and wants to go grindy.

there is a new card called meteor golem, will this be playable?
