why Arcane Sanctum and not Crumbling Necropolis ?

i have both in there buddy..i sps i could take out Arcane Sanctum and add some more basics or more Drowned Catacomb ..long term, i plan on taking them out in favor of Inkmoth Nexus for the infect landman action

You're torn between two different strategies that don't synergize: (1) Kill the opponent ASAP, i.e. Affinity, and (2) Ramp and inevitability. This is not even T3 man.. you shouldn't make the claim that it's even T2.

Maybe, just maybe play Shape Anew Instead of Fabricate ...? I don't know, I don't really play modern.

@tchau204

so let's turn your criticism into something constructive: how can I run affinity without shelling out hundreds of dollars for sets of Mox Opal , Arcbound Ravager , & nexus lands (among others)?

Well, the first question is, do you want to play fast or slow?

people in my area play a lot of aggro RDW and america control so i sps fast would be best..unless you think i should go slow because they're playing fast..i need help sigh

Well, if you want to play more of a slow control style, I would remove: Etched Champion, Ichorclaw Myr, Master of Etherium, Memnite, Ornithopter, Plague Myr, Cranial Plating, Springleaf Drum, and Stone Rain.

In place of these, you can play better instants/sorceries to buy you time until you can assemble Tron and play your bomb creatures. I would consider mainboarding Lightning Bolt , perhaps add some Pyroclasm and play any of these: Condescend , Remand , Thirst for Knowledge , Izzet Charm and so forth. If you can add 1-2 Mindslaver and 1x Academy Ruins , you have the late game inevitability of locking your opponent and winning (which is good against any midrange/control deck).

Your plan would be to slow your opponent down, and win later.

Oh, I mean Izzet Signet , not Izzet Charm . Whoops!

Anddddddddddddddddd (sorry for the spam), you'll need to go up to 24-25 lands.

right on; i just rebuilt it with the cards i have on hand..i'm still looking through them all to find more Condescend , Mana Leak , Lightning Bolt , and any card-feed spells i come across

thank you for the advice bro :-)

No problem! Best of luck!

Molten Rain over Stone Rain , although it might be a toll on your mana base. Is having Demolish over a 3-mana land destruction spell worth it just to have the ability to kill artifacts?

no way; and thank you for the suggestion..i've been in & out of MtG over the past 20yrs so much that there's a slew of cards i don't even know exist (such as Molten Rain ) so thanks again! definitely gotta pick up a set of those.

With 4x Treasure Mage and 4x Fabricate you only need to run 1 of each of your artifact win-cons. That would open up 2 more spots for more tempo.

roger that; will make the adjustments when i get a set of Molten Rain

Do not play Molten Rain. Tron avoids dual mana costs like the plague. 4 mana vs 3 isn't an issue for you at all because of the Urza lands.

duly noted! i'll have to play-test it more to see if it becomes an issue.. i'm running 4 mountains and 4 crumbling necropolis, so i don't really forsee needing two mountains & not having them..but again, i could be wrong...

i'm now kinda considering reworking the mana base for this deck & getting rid of the slow triple lands for dual-lands.. lol it's always goimg to be a work in progess i guess

I mean, I run mono-U Tron with 9 Islands, and I sometimes have to use Expedition Map to find an Island. I really think Terminate and Dreadbore should be cut for one color casting spells, and since you're leaning toward red, I'd advise them be red or blue. Anger of the Gods will also be dead in your hand until late game, at which point it's useless. So, I recommend Cyclonic Rift and perhaps 3 Condescend?

Sees Tron deck. Does not see Wurmcoil Engine.

Wut

@buildingadeck

i see what you're saying..i probably should just drop black all together and run a RB land destruction/counter control ..actually the more i think about it, the more i agree that that's the way to go..Cyclonic Rift for overload cost would be nice against aggro decks for sure..nice easy way to secure turn-advantage while setting up the tron..

@FAMOUSWATERMELON

i know..i spent all my moneys on Emrakul :-\

if you dont have any islands or swamps run Watery Grave instead ofDrowned Catacomb

Replace those taplands with Mana Confluence, City of Brass and Reflecting Pool.

@OikeaHetki

you're now my new best friend :-)

Why? Because I made a really silly comment :P
