Basicly its your standard tron list, but with wildfire and pyroclasm main. The wildfire takes advantage of the fact that people use a lot of fetch lands and as such run fewer lands that tap for mana. Critique is helpful.

wildifre isnt that good in your deck because you have so few threats to punish people after you wildfire so they have time to rebuild. i dont think gifts is needed, just play like old ur tron with keigas and stuff

U/G tron is just better anyway. At least 50% of the new extended metagame is going to be life from the loam decks along with like RDW, domain zoo possibly, and affinity. But if you really want to run red I also suggest trash for treasure.

50% Loam....sigh...more like 5%. Only 2 decks in the format run loam. We don't even know the combo decks yet. Maybe there is a great heartbeat version that loam can't compete with, and its not like loam was even that great last season.

// Sideboard

Fireball replaces demonfire as I can wipe the board if necessary and starstorm replaces wildfire as I needed the damage more than the land destruction.
