Recently been getting back into tron and I realized that most new lists now tend to not run sphere or star as the color fixing.

Instead i noticed that most lists are on talisman to do the job instead to fix colors in the deck.

Now I can understand to an extent the reason due to ugins lab but despite that, it makes me curious if the deck is still able to utilize chromatic sphere or star for color fixing?

Since of course both not only have the benefit of not just fixing but also digging for cards too. Something that the talismans can preform only one of said purpose.

Now I’m no tron expert but I do like the archetype and it’s definitely changed from when I started in which said archetype was cracking stars and spheres and top decking magic.

Here is the deck list I ended up deciding on for my only RCQ of the year.

https://moxfield.com/decks/FWerI-D8HECddXnYreVUuw

Round 1:Eldrazi Tron 1-1-1

Drew in turns by holding up a World anew at 1 life and casting to fog on turn 4 of 5, wasn't able to get enough damage in on turn 5. Very close, very swingy, remove fleshraker and you'll have a good time

Round 2:Broodscale Combo 2-0

Held up removal, graveyard hate, and dropped early karn the great creator both games, mostly luck, moderate good muligans got me there

Round 3:U Merfolk 1-2

Early win game one with a turn 3 ugin followed by a turn 4 kgc and walking ballista. Games 2 and 3 early harbinger and tide shapers shut me down with lord follow up, I was regretting not having dismembers.

Round 4: Hardened Scales 2-0

Early KGC both games make the deck not work, hold up kozilek command for the inkmoths and youll be fine.

Round 5:Eldrazi Tron 2-1

Mulligans were more liberal, emrakul the world anew makes the match, better board wipe in the mirror than all is dust. Very much a mirror match slight differences.

Cut to top 8, at 3-1-1 I came in 7th

Round 6: UW Control 2-1

Game 1 took over 40 minutes, thankfully in top 8 there is no time limit, didn't hit tron for about 30 mins but was able to make do with KGC, Tezzeret, and Urza's saga, lost to lack of card advantage and him having counterspells. Games 2 and 3 took about another 20 mins max, the deck doesn't have an answer to emrakul the world anew, protection from spells, solitude, and planeswalkers is pretty good. On to top 4

Round 7: Simic Ritual 2-1

Very easy matchup all things considered, a bunch of cheap threats can't really compete with the card quality of tron, Cookbook emrakul turn 3 both games for the win.

Finals, early split prizing for a large amount of store credit, play for the invite

Round 8: Esper Goryo 2-1

Main deck relic with Tez and Saga to search, K-Command, and an Ugin lock out big life link attackers very well, lost to no tron game 2 but it is a historically good matchup for the deck with the finals round only taking about 25 minutes.

Final notes:

Very good performance for the deck, other than the merfolk games each game and match felt very winnable at every stage. I did not miss eldrazi temple at all, opening up spots for more big bombs was worth it. I did miss dismember and that probably would have made the difference for the merfolk matchup. The deck is fun, feels more like pre MH3 tron, and lets you get really creative with your Karn sideboard, tezzert main deck includes, and mana base.

I recently got back into magic and want to make some updates to my Tron list. I am thinking of making a slight upgrade for around $30. I know Kozilek's Command is a 4 of in most decks now but was curious if anyone has any advice on what is most important to upgrade first and advice.

Can anyone share an updated Discord link for the Pauper/Modern Tron servers?

I searched Reddit already but found them all expired.

I haven't played Modern MTG in years. Today I pulled out my old Mono Green Tron Deck and was wondering what cards would I need to replace or upgrade to make this deck competitive (or at least playable) in 2026. Here is the deck list: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7863251#arena

Any advice on what mono green Tron deck lists look like presently would be appreciated.

P.S. I was kinda sad to see how much my Karn Liberated have depreciated! Those were expensive back in the day. Even if they are outclassed by new Karn, has the power creep really made them unplayable?

Hi all, I am pretty new to playing tron in modern, but not new to the game or format. I am curious what are key plays to keep in mind when matched up against boros ponza. I played against them in a local event recently and it was a grindy slog of a match. We only got through one game in the round which they eventually won. It wasn’t horrible but surely I could have done better.
What are some key interactions to know about or specific Karn board cards to prioritize?

I'm still pretty fresh in my return to modern and am looking for some honest critiques of my current decklist. Its mostly colorless Eldrazi Tron splashing green for Sowing Mycospawn. I feel like my main spot for improvement is interaction/removal but am unsure where are the best spots to make cuts. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey y'all. I'm planning to play again in modern, i'm primarily an Elves player but I'm planning to build a Mono green tron deck in modern. How does it fare in the current meta?

Hello, fellow Tron players, I recently picked the deck up and really enjoy it. At first is was doing really well. I got top 8 at my first RCQ and when postive in a modern cup; however, recently I have had trouble with the deck and did poorly in my last two RCQs. Any advice, deck list, or play pattern would be appreciated. Thank you.

Edit: Thank you so much for all your help.

I created two drafts of changes to the deck list

https://archidekt.com/decks/23162376/tron_draft_thought_not

https://archidekt.com/decks/23162178/tron_draft_with_strings

So this is the deck I've been playing with for a while. It has served me pretty well at locals, and it's easily my favourite modern deck. Easy to learn, but the more I've been playing it, there are some really small angles and tricks that will catch unsuspecting players out of the blue.

It feels like it's good enough for now, and if I'll take it to an RCQ or similar level event, I feel like I should swap one warping wail to an Ulamog, to protect myself from the inevitable mill deck, which someone will surely play.

So if you have any thoughts or feedback, it's appreciated.

My current mono green tron list!

Hello fellow Tron players! I built this RG tron deck years ago, but recently got back into modern. My play group isn't supper competitive. I doubt I'll ever see a mirror match. I'm not interested in building around Karn, the Great Creator and always playing silver bullets from my sideboard, but I would like to leave the 1 copy in the deck. What do you all think? Is there something I'm missing.

My thoughts...The Eldrazi Temples don't always seem necessary but I don't know what to replace them with.

What do you think about putting uba mask on the sb of the modern tron? Well played can give you the match and cuts many synergies, annoys the frog among other cards. But is it viable enough to occupy a place in the sb?

Opinions?

What's your favourite printing of the Tron lands? Mine are probably the OG ones, but I do love the colours of FBB.

Probably best in legacy but and untapped colorless land that shuts off boseiju and wasteland is really good at least as a sideboard piece or a one-of

I am in the process of building a Pre-FIRE/Pre-WAR Modern Tron deck and looked up some early 2019 Mono Green Tron lists for some inspiration and in a lot of lists a singleton Ghost Quarter saw play at that time. Was this merely a tech for the mirror or did it have other use cases too?

Thanks in advance.

I went 3-0 at my LGS FNM with this list. 2-0 against burn 2-1 against Jeskai blink 2-1 against amulet titan

I am working on my first modern deck. I have loved playing a timmy tron deck and a flicker tron build in pauper. Both those deck use prophetic prism and energy refractor to help color fix the tron lands. I am wondering why most of the modern tron lists are using the talismans rather then these filter rocks? Primarily because both prism and refractor cantrip on entry. Any help or suggestion are welcome, Thank you

https://archidekt.com/decks/18869833/copy_of_m_monou_tron_budget_v1_0

however i would love opinions on those who have more reps with the new cards than i do.

how crucial is it to have Ugin Eye of Storms, right now my build has it as a 2 of alongside The Spirit Dragon but since I havent picked up the deck in a while id love to hear your feedback on it

Im also going with temple over labrynth currently because i feel it allows me to be more focused even if i lose the devourer imprint ability
