  Tenacious
'Tron 2007.
Description of deck by Mike Flores @
www.wizards.com (quoted):
The last deck I want to discuss today is
Tenacious 'Tron. Adam Barnett won in High Wycombe, England with this
design by Richard Feldman and Zac Hill.
Tenacious 'Tron is differentiated from other U/W "big
mana" decks via the inclusion of Gifts Ungiven, and the packages that
arise from such a different card drawing engine. Gifts Ungiven can
complete an UrzaTron with Petrified Field and Crucible of Worlds, or set
up Mindslaver lock with Academy Ruins, Petrified Field, and Crucible of
Worlds. Crucible alone is effective in fighting Dwarven Blastminer and
Destructive Flow, and Gifts Ungiven alone is a broken rip off the top of
the 'Tron deck from any position.
Tenacious 'Tron is by no means as effective top-down as
other U/W big mana decks, but its varied mid-game and finisher plans give
the deck powerful options when playing against other decks. It isn't easy
for Boros to beat a Gifts package of Razormane Masticore, Platinum Angel,
Wrath of God, and Engineered Explosives, for instance; with the massive
mana production of the UrzaTron, Tenacious 'Tron can exploit Chalice of
the Void as a pinpoint weapon in-context like few other decks. While we
saw multiple other versions of U/W Tron and Cloudpost big mana over the
past two weeks, my radar says that Tenacious 'Tron should become the
default version to test against. |
