I went 0-2 drop, but the set seems fun. Better than most recent sets. I like complicated sets where the archetypes aren't braindead obvious. The first Innistrad block was basically the best draft format I can remember.Originally Posted by Fatal Impurity
Rather poorly sometimes. It's not a great deck if your metagame is heavy aggro. My metagame is often heavy on midrange and other control decks, and U-Tron is great for that. One reason Tron is fun is because every game is a puzzle called "How can I stay alive for a few more turns?". The recent printing of Spatial Contortion helped a lot; we used to have to eat 4 damage from Dismember when playing aggro, which wasn't ideal.
The Affinity matchup is OK; if they go for the make-one-guy-huge plan, you can Repeal them all day long, and Hurkyl's Recall is a good card. Burn is so-so depending on how fast of a draw they get. I usually do well vs Bogles and Infect although logic says I shouldn't. (Chalice of the Void is a pretty good card, it turns out.) Merfolk is basically unwinnable, so hope no one plays that. I like Aetherize in the sideboard in many matchups.
One sad thing is that RG Tron recently went from an even matchup to nearly unbeatable, because of all the stupid on-cast triggers from the recent Eldrazi. =/
