Strategy

First, go forth and fetch me a Tron. Then bring it back here and we shall make goats. Then we shall raise those goats as our children, lovingly, tenderly, until we abandon them for something cooler like black mana or a shiny new toy.

Then when our neighbor starts yelling at the goats we left for him, we blast him with our giant death ray eyeballs... He learns his lesson, but we leave one behind to make sure he behaves and takes care of our goats the way we always wanted but we're too busy or too apathetic to do so.

Eventually we get bored and blow everything up.

---

That's kind of the gist of this deck. Abuse Tron mana to raise/trade goats while barreling in with giant eyeballs or giving one away to make a poor man's Ensnaring Bridge .

Then get enough mana to just suck the life out of them with Sanguine Bond, Wall of Limbs, or Exsanguinate.

Lands

• Urza's Tower:

More mana than you know what to do with and the heart of this goat monster.

• Springjack Pasture :

Goat factory that also mana fixes when lacking black mana for spells and triggers life gain effects. Bonus points for enabling stolen activated abilities!

• Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth:

Black mana fixer and combos with potential add ins: Spreading Algae and Karma

• Llanowar Wastes:

A pain land to trigger Sun Droplet. Need 1 for each upkeep. It could be swapped out for Caves of Koilos or Underground River or Sulfurous Springs based on whatever color is popular in your meta. I chose green because I wanted to use Spreading Algae in the sideboard.

Creatures

• Evil Eye of Urborg :

My favorite. An offensive powerhouse that will decimate the opponent's board. Ends the game very quickly in an open field.

• Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore :

The second evil eye. More useful in situations where the opponent has a large number of chump blockers for the urborg eye and provides a heartier defense while the urborg eye does its work clearing a path. The reason these guys are in here is because I wanted to literally give my opponent the evil eye. By swapping one of them with an opponent's thingy using Avarice Totem , all their other critters are blocked so long as they are without a way to remove this thing. As long as we have chump blockers or an Icy Manipulator on the field, we have essentially created an Ensnaring Bridge that let's you keep cards in your hand and attack with your creatures.

• Wall of Limbs:

This guy provides the necessary early game defense to set up and gets monstrous with Sun Droplet on the field. Once it reaches critical mass, it becomes a deadly instant speed wincon.

• Thoughtpicker Witch

In top deck mode, 1 is all you need of her. With Trading Post and Springjack Pasture out, she can win the game all by herself.

Control

• Sun Droplet:

This thing keeps you alive and will make an opponent think twice about attacking you with Wall of Limbs on the board.

• Trading Post:

Most versatile control piece. Primarily used to make goats, it also gives you card draw, life gain, and artifact recursion when you need it. When combined with Avarice Totem , it gives you creature & artifact removal if it suits your situation.

• Icy Manipulator :

Locks out fatties, manlands, regular lands, and forcing artifact abilities. Useful for getting hits in or preventing them. Instrumental in creating the evil eye lock. It will keep you alive until you draw an answer.

• Avarice Totem :

This is one of the primary reasons I wanted to build an urza tron deck. Hey buddy, that's a pretty cool card... what say we trade for.. a goat? Yeah, that seems fair to me. Here is your goat. You will be missed, goat.

• Dismember:

Colorless removal when you need it.

• Duress & Nightmare Void

Hand disruption is black's go to control mechanic but unfortunately Thoughtseize is out of budget or I would be running those.

• Spine of Ish Sah

Good synergy with Trading Post and colorless all purpose removal. Almost as good as Oblivion Stone.

Support

• Expedition Map:

Assembles the Tron.

• Diabolic Revelation:

So powerful once Tron is going. Fetch everything you need to win the game!

Win

• Exsanguinate:

The primary wincon. This can save you midgame and end your opponent late game.

• Neverending Torment:

The secondary wincon. Mi them to death starting with their most important cards.

Sideboard

The sideboard is a work in progreas...

• Orbs of Warding:

Great tech against burn, mill, discard and weenies.

• Howling Mine:

Supports Neverending Torment and gives additional lifegain with Trading Post. Turn it off before your opponent's upkeep with Icy Manipulator for pure, painless, cheap card advantage.

• Stinkweed Imp:

Comes in when facing flyers or aggressive fatties that need to be removed.

• Golgari Thug:

To recur your eyeballs when up against a lot of creature removal.

• Nihil Spellbomb:

Great graveyard hate. Can be recycled with Trading Post or just used to draw 2 cards for 3 mana.

• Killing Wave:

A board wipe that makes the choice easy with tron online and doesn't spare indestructibles. With the life gain in the main, you can preserve an eye for board advantage.

I hope you enjoy it.
