Sideboard


The reasoning for using blue over red is not for counter magic or control, at least not in the mainboard, but for extra ramp and digging. Anticipate can help you assemble Tron much quicker than a Pyroclasm (as seen in the G/R Tron lists), for obvious reasons, and it can still grab a threat or a land, just like Ancient Stirrings, but it does even more. If you "whiff" on an Anticipate, you still dig three cards deep. I've also added Serum Visions for extra draw and control over your top decks. On the sideboard, with the addition of blue, I gain Hurkyl's Recall which, combined with Nature's Claim and the mainboarded Oblivion Stone's, creates serious issues for Affinity and other artifact reliant decks like Lantern Control. I also have two Negate's, which need no explanation, and a Cyclonic Rift; a catch all unsummon effect for go wide strategies or even a deck like, again, Lantern Control.

All in all, I think I definitely have a unique take on the archetype and it's gotten some criticism from other Tron players, as well as praise. At the end of the day though, this has proven itself time and time again on the battlefield.
