To Tron Or To Not To Tron?
Modern Deck Help forum

Hello! I've recently made a splash into Modern with my CoCo Elves deck Lord Chamberlain's Elves Company and it's playing great and I'm super happy! But what's happiness? It's the moment before you need more happiness (shout out to all you Don Draper fans out there.) Anyway, like Don Draper my eye has "wandered" and I've been side-brewing another deck that I've been thinking about a while that I might eventually buy. Essentially it's the 25 land version of Tron except instead of mainboard Chalices it runs 2x Gifts Ungiven with various gifts packages which are there to give my deck some late-game consistency. Here it is:

But my question is whether this Gifts build is truly better than a more standard build like this one here:
Basic Tron Shell Playtest

So tell me what you think. Which Mono Blue Tron list is better and why? Also, I'd be accepting of any changes to either deck individually. Thank you!

buildingadeck yeah, I was trying to make it with Gifts but I think you're right. I've made what I think are the appropriate changes to the list and I want to know what you think.

Of you go for the non-Talisman version, I would advise going with Chalice and dropping it to 24 lands. I prefer the more standard version, but I got beaten by the Chalice version recently, and the person running it ran 24 with no problems yet. He also ran Anticipate and said it worked well. Take that for what it is, but that's what I would say on the topic.
