This is the UG Tron list I have been playing/testing so far. As of now even if I haven't tested against TEPS, I can tell I have no way to defend against it. Review and comment please. |

Looks good except for some minor stuff. Not running 4x Signets just looks crazy to me. 1x Sensei's Divining Top seems a bit random. I guess you could fetch it with Gifts Ungiven, but I can't imagine myself having that amout of time when you just could set up a Mindslavar-lock for the win. This last thing is I guess a personla preference, but I find myself drawing to many moxes when I play UG Tron, so in my version I went -1x Mox +1x Island.
I have played this deck since december, but theres one thing that puzzles me when seeing some of these newer versions of the deck. Why are ppl playing with Venser in their MD? Is it for bouncing Teegs and Leylines? If so, why is it in the MD? I'm curious to know. |

Living wish much?
Scapeshift would be good as a one of in the deck. Don't diss a card you haven't tested. |

| living wish is bad, i have tried scapeshift its awful, you have to sacrifice lands u have in play to get ones from ur deck, thats only good if u have multiple of one urza piece, the deck usually dont have enough lands to do that effectively, as it uses mox and signet for mana. |

So right now its - 1 mox and +1 Signet. Venser is a good card I like it, it comes useful but I guess I can get rid of him and the Sensei's for something useful.
"There is actually just 0 reason to play petrified field, but also that list is just bad =\."
Why is this a bad list? |

| I'd go -1 Top + 1 Condescend, as Tron doesn't really need to spin a top when it has gifts, thirst, condescends, remands and repeals. I've also seen UG Tron lists run some number of moonglove extracts in the sb as an answer to Teeg |

Yeah, some kind of answer to Teeg is recommended in the SB. Myself I play with Moonglove Extract because they can be a part of a Gifts package, and they are also pretty good versus Magus of the Moon and Goblins. You could also instead run like (don't laugh) Pongify or Lignify in the sideboard. They have their advantages and disadvantages aswell. |

| Pongify seems good but I don't want to give aggro a 3/3. How does Lignify stop Magus of the Moon and Teeg? |
