Neat deck! It looks competitive, all the while being innovative.
Here's a question you may know the answer to: Why does Mono-U Tron run so many 1-ofs?

TKDbeast thank you for the compliment, as for an answer to your question. A lot of U-Tron lists run tutor cards to grab what you might need. Treasure Mage, Trinket Mage, Tolaria West, etc. Also, with the sheer amount of card advantage with card draw from cantrips, the new Karn, or other spells like Torrential Gearhulk or Snapcaster Mage, it makes it easy to continuously find answers as a control deck.

Thanks for the response, 21! Especially with all those Thirst for Knowledges and ways to recur them.
Just came up with two other questions:
-
What are you searching for when you cast Gifts Ungiven?
-
Why isn't Fabricate used, but both Treasure Mage and Trinket Mage are?

You're welcome TKDbeast! I also forgot to mention Supreme Will when I was talking about digging cards and ways to recur them. To answer your other questions,
- Gifts Ungiven helps me get whatever I need at the moment. Am I short on blue mana? Ill get an Island, Snow-Covered Island,Oboro, Palace in the Clouds, etc. Do I have enough mana for Mindslaver lock and I have Academy Ruins on board, then I'll grab Mindslaver! It's one of those cards that is very useful for card advantage and can help me either close the gap or widen it even more.
- That choice is up to personal preference. Most Mono-Blue Tron Decks run about 7-9 creatures to make room for more spells and such, some people up to 11 creatures. I've talked to people that have cut out the mages for Fabricate since they both can be played only during your turn and it can be used again by Snapcaster Mage. But me personally I don't like to go below 7 or 8 creatures. It is true that they die to kill spells and can't be used again with Snapcaster Mage but, with the cheap cost it does help to get some early creature board presence. Same thing with Walking Ballista. Sure you can save him and make him huge later but other times it's just better to make a 1/1. You can grow him later or snipe something early and get him back with Academy Ruins.

The new baby Karn is a house in this type of shell. May I suggest -1 Trinket Mage & +1 Karn, Scion of Urza.

Have you thought about Karn Liberated? I think it would really help the deck out.

With a sideboard like that how about Karn, the Great Creator?

Lol I'd love to play those decks but I only have 2 Jace atm, and I'd have to save up a little first. But since G/x Tron benefits pretty well from the unbans, (those cards already go into decks that G/x beats) I might slowly change this deck into that as a last resort.
