I like tool boxes and this deck is the THE TOOL BOX.
The idea is to have one deck to manage all situations and more importantly formats. Yes you read that right formats.
The deck is Modern and Pauper legal at the same time and is quite good in both formats. Sure it can be better in modern with the inclusion of several staples like Snapcaster Mage/Karn Liberated or better in pauper with Chainer's Edict/Capsize but is good enough to put a fair fight in both formats, and more importantly is a lot of fun.
So the deck is "divided" in 4 parts:
The Trinkets
- 1x Aether Spellbomb (Can save one of our creatures, or disrupt an enemy one, plus the option of replacing it self if need it.)
- 1x Chromatic Sphere (Color fixing + Draw is nice)
- 4x
Chromatic Star
(Color fixing + Draw is nice and in this case you can generate the color, cast something like
Condescend
in response to the draw trigger, proceed to Scry first then draw)
- 4x
Expedition Map
(Staple of any tron build)
The package of trinkets serves several purposes and a two copies of
Trinket Mage
help us get what we need.
The Teachings
- 2x
Condescend
(Is an staple in Tron and not expected in pauper)
- 1x
Doom Blade
(Pretty good spot removal, kills 75% of all creatures in both formats for )
- 1x
Galvanic Blast
(Awesome card, at worst is Shock and at best is a better Lightning Bolt, no one expect 4 damage out of nowhere)
- 1x
Momentary Blink
(This card is an awesome anti removal spell, for 2 reasons #1 Flasback 2#
Mulldrifter
)
- 1x Pulse of Murasa (Tron decks weak against early aggression, and this card takes care of that, returning an "evoked"/killed
Mulldrifter
to our hand and buying some time in the form of 6 life.
- 1x
Repeal
(This is one "soft" slot, main deck is a great disruptive tool that replaces it self and is easy to side board it for more needed tools)
This Teachings can manage most situations an two copies of
Mystical Teachings
help us get what we need when we need it.
The dudes
- 4x
Mulldrifter
(MVP by far the best card in Pauper (IMO), and the #1 reason this decks holds it self together)
- 4x Fangren Marauder (The #2 reason this deck works. It makes us gain a ton of life and 5/5 wins most combats)
- 3x
Sea Gate Oracle
(Pretty good effect attached to a descent body)
- 2x
Trinket Mage
(My favorite creature in magic, is good early and late game)
The engine
- 4x
Urza's Mine
(Tron "engine")
- 4x Urza's Power Plant (Tron "engine")
- 4x Urza's Tower (Tron "engine")
- 2x
Unknown Shores
(We need colored mana and at common level this is as good as it gets)
- 2x
Haunted Fengraf
(Awesome land, late game we have more than enough mana with the Urza lands and this allow us to get out beloved creatures back)
- 4x Ancient Stirrings (The #3 reason this deck hold it self together. Staple in Tron, early help us get Tron online, late game digs deep for trinkets to "feed' Fangren Marauder and any other artifact/land we need)
Game plan
Early game we don't need to assemble the tron as fast as Tron because of early creature drops, like
Trinket Mage
/
Sea Gate Oracle
, if you need to evoke your
Mulldrifter
the deck have ways to get then back.Ones we get the tron online, we need to drop fatties like there is no tomorrow and hard cast
Mulldrifter
to stabilize the board.With the tons of mana and life gain, plus your opponent not playing infect we proceed to turn 5/5 sideways and win.
Side deck
100% meta call, I include good fetch-able tools and an additional copy of
Mystical Teachings
just in case we need it, this part is up to you.
So if you like tool boxes, fetching, artifacts, Tron, modern, pauper, budget decks and lots of fun this deck is for you
