I CAN'T DECIDE
Modern forum

Up until now I've thought I should play tron at the pptq tomorrow now I'm not sure if I should maybe play affinity or titan bloom instead, what does people think? I'm most experienced with tron as it was my first modern deck but from what I've heard a lot of people who signed up coz it's their lgs play burn.. head about to explode

Play what you know. Tron is a good pick since it's unexpected.

Whatever you do, don't play Bloom Titan unless you're super comfortable with it. Going into it when you've only played a little will just end really badly. I'd go for Tron as well, experience trumps playing the meta unless you're some form of genius. Too many ins and outs to the decks.

I'm not a huge fan of Bloom, I think it can be really slow/inconsistent. Generally Tron will either get you very lucky with your matchups or sometimes very unlucky. It really depends.

Well my record on all of them is I consistently get third place vs my FNM group

Definitely Tron. Just build an anti-Twin and Burn sideboard.

You mean like 3x Thragtusk vs burn and 2x Boil 2Spellskite 1x Surgical Extraction 2x Nature's Claim 3x Rending Volley?

Maybe a bit more heavy handed on the Spellskite because you don't seem as prepared for infect.

Spellskite is good vs infect isn't it? Serves as a blocker vs elf and redirects the pump spells, not to mention 4 pyroclasm 3 o stones 1 all is dust (coz 4th o stone still didn't arrive) 1 ugin and ghost quarter + surgical to remove inkmoth

Yeah, exactly. He wants you to play more. I think 3 could be very good.

No, no. That is like, your only defence against infect, so 3 seems ideal. Considering that it's also a key card against twin, boggles, and burn, 3 seems like the right number.

Ok so affinity would've been my best bet, my matchups were 2 infect, 2 Vengevine, 1 burn
Game 1 lost 1-2 to burn I won round 1
Game 2 beat infect after a delay penalty in my favor 2-1
Game 3 0-2 loss to infect
Game 4+5 2-0 wins to me
Overall came 14th and if the guy playing burn had got 1 more win I'd have got top 8 as was a 6 way tie

People will be prepared for affinity and titan. Stick with tron.
