I pulled 3 copies of Quarantine Field, so I decided to build a Modern deck around it. In order to power out a large Quarantine Field, I threw in the Urza lands, which tap for 7 mana total when all 3 are in play:

I have 4 copies of Expedition Map to help me find missing Urza lands or additional Plains.

Also included as white mana sources and cantrip effects to help me dig deeper are Chromatic Star and Chromatic Sphere. Wall of Omens is a nice early blocker that also cantrips.

This is obviously a pretty slow strategy, so I need to be able to stall the game early on as I try to assemble the Urzatron pieces. One thing white does well is exiling stuff, so a lot of my early game strategy revolves around cheaper exile, prison, and a few board wipes:

No Tron deck would be complete without some heavy hitters:

I can cast either Bane of Bala Ged or Karn Liberated on turn 3 if I can complete the Urzatron early. They offer additional exile and hit lands that Quarantine Field and the other enchantments miss.

I've got a small amount of utility cards in the deck such as:

One card I may add is Conduit of Ruin. He can help me find Emrakul or Bane of Bala Ged and can also reduce their costs.

I would love to run Swords to Plowshares, but there's that whole Modern legal thing... Path to Exile could be an option, but I am leery about giving my opponent additional lands which lead to larger threats.

I don't have a sideboard yet, but that will likely need to be dedicated to creature light matchups (which I don't face a lot of).
