Yeah I think so. There's a reason that deck is called Greedy Tron. Anything that lets you tap for any color is nice, especially considering white and/or black cards are often in the sideboard.

E: Also, a goon-friend [SA/MODO name Kleedrac] also wants in on this. He'll drop in when he gets home later but I figured I'd save him a spot since he sounds down for this. IIRC he most often runs Tron and Kiln Fiend Combo.

You're in. We're pretty much doing exactly that, yeah. I'm giving everybody until tomorrow midnight EST to make any corrections or changes to their archetypes and MTGO names. After that I'll get pairings figured out.

Also Mikujin and Kleedrac I need to know what you're playing.

Oh I know I've had my fair share of losses to timeout just because folks make me play it out. It's just such a misers ploy and honestly people like that hold out for wind via time (in paper or modo) are pretty much just a scummy.

It is a miserable deck to play against, I generally just want to help people make the right choice and stop playing such an awful heap of a deck.

That aside this is shaping up to be an odd meta. RUG Tron is apparently way more popular here than online. I think I've played it one time in leagues, where I countered their all in rolling thunder and they scooped.

Tokens it is!


So holy crap guys, we have 30 people. That's definitely a goon league record. I don't know how much of this is xmage hate and how much is pauper love but either way this is pretty awesome.

Your pairings are here.

Here are the rules:

I'll give everyone until whenever I wake up Monday (probably early afternoon/late morning) to play their match. I'm not going to babysit people to get their results in. If the match doesn't get played, I'll give the win to whoever made the better attempt to contact their opponent. If it's even and the match just couldn't happen for whatever reason, or if neither player makes an attempt, it'll be a draw. Also if you no-show for a week you'll be dropped. If you can't play your match for a week for whatever reason, post and let me know and I won't drop you.

Here end the rules.

Terrible Horse, I'm around a lot. You can find me on MTGO at suicidesteve44 and in the irc thing.
