I too enjoy foiling every card so that you can't tell the actual price of the deck

Well, there are plenty of reasons I used Tappedout to post my deck, and showing others the price of the deck is not one of them. There are plenty of other websites that are in my opinion better for that (since TCGPlayer mid pricing is not a reliable metric of value/cost). This deck posting is for my own records of which printings/foils I have in my collection and deck, and to share my list of 75 cards with others.

Ahhhh I see, have you found trouble getting your tron lands into play without more land searching options? Or is the removal and hand disruption enough to keep your opponent at bay while you look for mana sources to end the game

This tron deck does not try to assemble tron ASAP, many games I might fetch for an Eldrazi Temple, Ghost Quarter, or Cavern of Souls with my first Expedition Map. It's more focused on ramping out TKS and Smasher ahead of curve, and then grinding mid-range and longer games really well with lots of eldrazi bombs, All is Dust, or karn in the late late game. It is currently much stronger than traditional tron in the modern meta, because it interacts with the opponent before turn 3-4.

Is Killing Wave a plausible one-of here, or is that dumb?

Honestly, dont think you need the o-stone's. Especially if youre pnly using them for affinity, i think a play set of ratchet bombs would be just fine.

The o-stones are not only for affinity, having access to more board wipes (especially one that hits colorless cards) isn't a bad thing to have. They are silver bullets in the matchup but have uses against several other popular decks as well.

I have played many many matches against affinity over the past month, and ratchet bombs, wails, pithing needles, etc. have not been good enough. My winrate is 30% at most, and what I feel is lacking is a board wipe to remove all of their nonlands at once, allowing no shenanigans with ravager counters. The one for one removal spells and ratchet bomb fall short when the opponent keeps drawing into ravagers, plating, masters, and manlands. I played 65 matches on mtgo two weekends ago with no o-stones in the side, I'm going to be testing this list and compare winrates against both affinity and the field for both lists, to determine of using two sideboard slots for o-stones has merit.

A ratchet bomb on O and a chalice of the void on 1 or 2 pretty much shuts affinity off. The reason im down on Ostone is because it hits your stuff too.

The splash damage from o-stone on our own permanents is obviously a downside, however in a stalled board state we can use fate counters to mitigate that. As I said, this is just for testing and I'm going to see some results before I decide whether the o-stones stay.

Get rid of the wastes and add in some other colourless mana producing cards such as more ghost quarters

2x Wastes are absolutely necessary due to the prevalence of Path to Exile and Ghost Quarter in Modern, that is aside from needing to be able to Expedition Map for them when a Blood Moon is on the battlefield. 4x Ghost Quarters are run by some players, but I feel with Expedition Map to bring them to hand when they are really really needed, 2 is enough.

Cavern of Souls will not work with Eldrazi since they are all colorless other than just the regular mana it usually produces.

Shadeslinger Cavern produces and stuffs counters, which are both great
