Tron has always been about getting large amounts of mana early, usually to cast big Eldrazi (RG Tron), or to control your opponent with Mindslaver (Mono U Tron).

As far as colors go, Black has a lot going for it - big, scary creatures, lots of risky card draw, hand disruption, you name it.

More importantly, it has access to stuff like Worst Fears , Exsanguinate, Diabolic Revelation, and Sorin's Vengeance - potent, but very costly mana-wise. But in Tron, you can potentially have enough mana to play them much earlier!

How it Works

This deck exists in an Mono-Black Control shell - Inquisition of Kozilek works well in disrupting early hands, and Black Sun's Zenith is a great recurrable boardwipe.

We have only one non-black spell in the form of Ancient Stirrings , which allows us to dig through the deck very well.

Artifact use is also prevalent here - Expedition Map is a must-have. We can use Chromatic Sphere, Chromatic Star, and Ichor Wellspring to get more cards. What's more, you can recur all of them should you have Trading Post out!

Our two primary win conditions are:

Recurring Worst Fears over and over again with Panoptic Mirror . Guaranteed to work every upkeep. Should a counterspell come your way, you'll have more than enough mana to pay the cost of things like Spell Pierce or Mana Leak. Even if the copy is countered, it'll still go off again next turn!

Exsanguinate for large amounts of life with Tron mana. With Boseiju, Who Shelters All, we can make this spell uncounterable!

Additionally, we can also win with our Wurmcoil Engine and Sundering Titan, both of which are difficult to deal with in this deck. With Trading Post, we are able to get our artifacts back very easily.
