Intro

Here we have a run of the mill aggressive tron deck with cards like Wurmcoil Engine and Reality Smasher with big finishers such as Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Emrakul, the Promised End . Now thats all fun and good, however as you can guess from the titles there is some spice to be had...

The Combo

This deck also runs a relatively consistent turn 4-5 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn + Tooth and Nail + Xenagos, God of Revels combination for a crisp kill in 9/10 cases on the spot if it resolves. How it works is, you build up 7-9 mana based on whats in your hand with tron lands and then either use forests, Chromatic Sphere , or Cascading Cataracts to grab that 2 green needed for Tooth and Nail . You cast it and preferably entwine it to get both effects. Then you grab the other pieces. Xenagos, God of Revels at the start of combat gives Emrakul, the Aeons Torn +15/+15 and haste, smashing in for 30 flying damage with Annihilator 6.

Possible turn 3??

There is even a potential for a turn 3 on a perfect hand with the help of explore and that hand would look something like this Urza's Mine + Urza's Power Plant + Urza's Tower + Forest + Chromatic Sphere + Explore then having a piece of the main combo and drawing into the other 2 or really any combination that gives you 7 mana turn 3 with 2 green sources and the whole combo in hand to be able to cast the Tooth and Nail not entwined and play the 2 bad boys from your hand. Turn 1- Urza Land. Turn 2- Forest, Cast explore, play second Urza land, cast chromatic sphere. Turn 3- final urza land, sacrifice sphere for green, and tap everything else having a floating mana, cast tooth and nail, putting the 2 bad boys into play, and then swing for 30!! Very unlikely but possible?!?

Backup

Tooth and Nail gets countered or just can't draw it? NO PROBLEM! Then you can just play out the deck like normal with the aggressive tron staples such as Wurmcoil Engine Reality Smasher Walking Ballista Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger Emrakul, the Promised End and World Breaker . Beat down is always an option and with the mana that you have really anything is possible!

Side Board

This deck is a turn 3-6 deck, so it doesnt fair well against faster or combo decks. Boggles, Storm, Dredge, and burn are tough match up's so the side board is pretty tuned to give you the "best" chance to fight them as well as the main board Chalice of the Void which is devastating game 1 if you can pin point their deck early

Closure

In the end it's just a simple and spicy idea. This deck has gone 4-0 in a local fnm several times and I couldn't believe it, so I figured I'd share and Feedback and Suggestions appreciated!
