Thirst for Knowledge is way better. Thirst gives you better card filtering which is quite important late game when you have a bunch of random crap in your hand that won't let you win the game.

I tend to agree. Thirst for Knowledge helps you dig further and can help you feed Academy Ruins + Mindslaver .

Tron doesn't need pure card advantage it just needs to find the right cards at the right time. Therefore digging deeper is prioritised over getting to keep all the cards you draw. Therefore thirst wins.

Artificer's Epiphany is much much worse. All things considered Mono-Blue Tron doesn't actually put that many artifacts into play. If you filter out the artifacts that are getting cracked for lands, board wipes, and the win conditions that only leaves you with 2 Solemn Simulacrum - which are still usually on snap chump/trade mode, 1 Spellskite, and 3 Talisman of Dominance.
And don't forget that you have Academy Ruins to just recur anything you are forced to pitch.

Thirst for Knowledge digs deeper into the deck helping you find tron lands or whatever you need. I have never played Tron but I would say Thirst for Knowledge is better.
