I'm surprised by an absence of Trinisphere in the main. Maybe because I'm not sure what you'd replace it with, but it also has an impact on a significant number of Modern cards.

Other suggestion is to include a single copy of Steel Hellkite in the sideboard for vs aggro or token decks.

hey Austin_Smith_of_Cards tks for comment.

I tested Trinisphere but i cant feel it too impact cause Chalice hold CMC1, i trade it for mor threath. Steel Hellkite is a thing. I'll try it.

Absolutely love the concept.

Would recommend running an Inventors' Fair... it makes for a great engine with Crucible. Also, Foundry Inspector might help out your tempo, for when you can't quickly assemble Tron.

Have you tested this out with a green splash for filter? (Ancient Stirrings + Sylvan Scrying)

A while back, I attempted to build a Modern version of Stax, replacing Smokestack with Culling Scales. If you're interested in checking it out...

Hi @Madhava tks for the tips! I played one time with Inventors' Fair its a good utility land, but with the grow of Field of Ruin in modern, it was hard to to play without lands, and now i'n testing with Wastes.

I played a time with the package, but for this i need to cut Chalice of the Void and Mind Stone for Chromatic Star this make more fragile and not too worth, not all time we get nice things with Ancient Stirrings. Its good, but not too worth in build.

At the moment (and for me save this build) i'n test this build with dominaria update.

Karn, Scion of Urza is so strong in this build, give card advantage, creature advantage. I want to play with 3 at least. (Feel free to see and comment about this alternative too)


I looked for your build and this look so interesting. I see Culling Scales one time. Spyce.

Yeah, the issue with porting legacy MUD to modern is that we basically have it in the tron variants. Colourless tron as an idea has been around a while, but getting it running smoothly can be awkward, making it feel like legacy MUD is a battle too.

I feel like this list is lighter on disruption than legacy MUD. I'd want Ensnaring bridge maindeck, and possibly splash blue for Trophy Mage/Treasure Mage/Grand Architect to make up for the lack of metalworker, personally. Ultimately though, your choices are pretty good all round.

Hey lagotripha, tks for comment.

I have to say, Ensnaring Bridge is a card is on radar for test on main as 2off to gain time and try to solve my problem with heavy and fast creatures deck. Since I have methods to break bridge when i need. My next try is try to play in "4 Curve" as i try in this list (and actually, but i want to save the other): https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1084217#paper

I guess fall in tron is inevitable, since it is the only way we can make fast mana to try disrupt the game. But sometimes it is slow for not have the pieces.

Other card i'n temped to try is Thran Temporal Gateway.

Gateway looks nice. I'd love to see it alongside its counterparts; Master Transmuter/Quicksilver Amulet. Extra copies might leave it reliable enough to play for Sundering Titan/Inkwell Leviathan/Blightsteel Colossus, but that eight mana is a big investment when you end up down a card.

Might not be the right sort of list here- with access to enough mana and an extra card, I'd usually just want a Reshape.

run field of ruin

Darksteel citadel seems good as an extra artifact to sack.

irelandking888i used to play Darksteel Citadel before, in fact this is good to sac, but Stony Silence stop it, then the utility lands works better in this case, the package Tectonic + Encroaching Wastes make some matchs betters.
