Went 3-0 on Tuesday with Mono U Tron in NYC and not the first time I've gone undefeated since finally building the deck a year ago. Its amazing how the core of this deck is still the same after all these years. I want to thank you because it was THIS video that got me into Modern and Mono U Tron was always a deck I had in my heart's backburner. Thank you again Professor.

You mention you must have a way to win the game when you have Mindslaver Lock active. However, you don't need a win-condition, that is the win in itself. Every turn you are drawing the same exact card and your opponent draws a new card. This means that they will deck themselves and you will not. And as you are controlling their turn their is no way they can kill you. This is considered an infinite combo and a Judge will give you a win if called and you can show how you will repeat each time without your opponent being able to respond.

Matt Burica You are 100% right and I messed up my explanation of that. I meant that you needed to understand that a lock IS the ability to win.

I am so happy you posted this. I was going to do a video request from you for this deck and you beat me to it! I am new to Modern and I have been testing this deck out on Cockatrice with decent success against T1 decks. The pilot of a deck has a lot to do with it of course but I am still happy to see this have some steam against them unlike some T2 decks which sit comfortably there. I also tested 8rack (which I later saw your video on and enjoyed btw) and I had a lot of fun testing online with that but I became somewhat bored of it. Aside from learning the best things to Thoughtseize or IoK the deck sort of plays the same against most other decks and is rather linear in that sense. Mono U Tron feels like it has many intricacies that can give you an advantage once you learn them and make you a much stronger force with the deck. Game to game it is a completely different experience. That is just my opinion though, thanks for the great videos!

Description This is the Mono Black Control deck I built for the video @ kzitem.info/news/bejne/25iYzaJpe6ekgJg This is not a deck for those who don't love playing control. Emphasis on the word love. You need to be a control fanatic to appreciate and enjoy the precise construction of this deck. As such, this deck is not for everyone. Even with its relatively low cost, I always recommend players interested in Tron proxy a deck first, and practice a lot to see how they like it. Depending on your play style, you'll find it to be either a thing of clockwork beauty, or, or a rusty machine whose gears keep grinding. MonoBlack?

Hello to any people watching from 2017 and on! Well, first off, this deck got expensive. But still affordable and can be put together with a decent build at around $200-300 and for a "perfect" build (varying by meta) around $400-500. So here I will list a deck tech for the version which I have which is the more expensive one. 1 solemn simulacrum/ Thought-knot seer 1 wurmcoil engine 1 batterskull 2 mindslaver 1 platinum angel 1 sundering titan 1 ugin, the spirit dragon 2 treasure mage 1 snapcaster mage 2 chalice of the void 1 oblivion stone 4 expedition map 4 thirst for knowledge 1 epiphany at the drownyard 4 remand 4 condescend 3 repeal 1 spell burst 1 cyclonic rift 1 academy ruins 1 oboro, palace in the clouds 1 ghost quarter 1 tectonic edge 8 island 4 Urza's mine 4 Urza's tower 4 Urza's power plant And for the sideboard 2 hurkyl's recall 1 wurmcoil engine 1 negate 2 chalice of the void 1 filigree familiar 2 spreading seas 2 relic of progenitus 2 spatial contortion 2 dismember That's about it. Please comment suggestions or comments if you want. Always open to them. Thanks, and have a great day

Professor,this is a very analytical and well presented template! Congratulations on your truly wonderful creation with the really funny introduction! However, watching this video did made me feel compelled to humbly ask you if you could please in the near on more distant future present a blue-white control modern deck. I know that in general control decks are not as successful and widely appearing in modern, but in my humble opinion I believe that magic players should not abandon or dismiss control that easily. Aggro and generally fast or combo decks have made a very strong impact on the format, such as mono red aggro or affinity and splinter twin respectively and now the modern version of abzan has made its appearance, but in the recent years there are few to no true control decks in the first positions of grand prix tournaments.

A suggestion I have to new tron players are to keep in mind the meta that is within your area. For example I face a heavier aggro format in my locals, so I run thought-knot seers to ensure I keep them from swarming with things like pack rat. I also recommend dropping a talisman to 2 (either progress or dominance works in this regard) and instead go with another academy ruins if you run into a lot of landhate. And as the good professor stated this is only a template so experiment with friends or on forums and keep on testing, the beauty of this deck is its versatility. (Or just throw in an ulamog or 2 for funsies)

As a question, would it be an idea to splash a bit of white into your landbase, and then use Mana Tithe in some numbers to add a tiny bit more super early counterspell? I know it's only one to a counter unless they pay one, but on turn one or two, that can be a big issue given the situation, and from my understanding of modern from those around me who play it, turn one and two are usually important for a lot of decks. Just curious on your thoughts on it prof.

I know that remand is great because of the card draw value, but if we consider pure countering value, isn't Unsubstantiate from EMN better? especially, because it can also effect cards that cannot be countered?

@jaredvargas5785

The card draw is that powerful. You've spent nothing but 2 mana to, most of the time, just waste your opponent's entire turn. Unsub can do that too, but it costs you a card, and doesn't dig you down in your deck. On top of that, none of the commonly played Uncounterable cards in Modern affect you very much. Nothing much is hit by Abrupt Decay, Wurmcoil is functionally Supreme Verdict proof by making the tokens post death so that isn't a great answer, and you're probably losing anyway if Exquisite Firecraft is killing you. Oh, and this video was made significantly before Unsub. was printed.

Hey why would you not use talisman of dominance instead of progress? Wouldn't it help cast the sideboard dismembers?

May be a dumb question but nevertheless, with mindslaver can you have your opponent "make the decision" to concede?

The way mindslaver is designed is to make it so that you can a) Essentially time walk b) Drain opponent resources to prevent them from being able to respond to things on your turn c) Destroy their own board state with either their own spells or force them to choose to attack with the worst combination of creatures. Ever since the Mirrodin, when mana burn was a thing, the card text reinforces that there is nothing you can do on your opponent's turn to make them loose the game without directly just playing a spell that makes them loose (for example, reanimating Phage the Untouchable).

Hi all im building this deck but i need some help. I need some good cards against flyers and multiplayer games (kitchen table magic based around modern format). Im thinking to add Darksteel forge + Nevinyrall's disk combo. Any suggestions? =)

Tolarian Community College There is a possibility modern might drive up the prices of the new ally color fetches. It wouldn't be completely from left field, but I'm almost certain that the price won't drop so much, as the demand is going to be extremely high for the reprints.

Chase Unfried I'm hoping this somewhat stabilizes the prices between the Zen and Khan Fetches.. Most Decks in Modern would probably want to run 1 from each, Ally and Enemy Fetchlands. (Cuz currently some Decks run sub-optimal Fetches just for 1 Colour) So I can't wait to see how these will shake things up.

As someone who's played the deck for some time, I'm very curious about the decision to include Talisman of Progress over Talisman of Dominance. A key sideboard card for this deck is Dismember. While not vital enough to warrant main-deck space, the cheap spot removal is very desirable in certain matchups. Being able to pay 1 less life point to pay for the Phyrexian mana in Dismember's cost by tapping Talisman of Dominance for B is enough to warrant playing it. I'm also curious about the decision to include a full 4 copies of Treasure Mage. From what I've seen, the majority of players only play 1 copy, with some choosing to include a 2nd. However, I've never seen more than 2.

Jon Mathison I think those are some really good tips. When I present these builds, I mean them as a general template. I do a lot of research and try to create a general version of the deck for people to start with. This list has not been fine tuned, in other words. It's meant for someone who does not play Modern at all, but wants to, to use as a great starting point for building their first deck, or perhaps their first more competitive deck within the format.

Is there a super budget version of this? I'd really like to get started with this, but don't have the hundred dollars to spend. While I might once I get a job, I'd still like to start somewhere with this. I'm defining super budget as $30-$50.

+Brandon Raymer Oboro can be very helpful in certain situations. Here are some examples: (a) Oboro does not get destroyed when Sundering Titan enters or leaves play. (b) Oboro can be used to get extra blue mana in a pinch if you haven't played a land for the turn if you tap for blue, bounce it into hand and then play it again. (c) Oboro is useful in the Merfolk match up since islandwalk wouldn't be useful, and likewise when your opponent boards in Island hate such as Boil or Choke. (d) It can be returned to the hand if you need extra discard for Thirst for Knowledge.

Seems like the perfect deck for master transmuter as well. 3U 1/2 creature with ability "U tap: Return an artifact you control to its owners hand. You may put an artifact from your hand into play" Gives you instant ability for 1 blue to save an artifact from artifact destruction spells, allows you to put high priced artifacts like master slave and sundering titan onto the board for free, and lets you trigger sundering titan multiple times.

It can save itself, return to the hand to be discarded if necessary (vs Liliana), tap for mana, return to hand and then played again for another blue mana if you haven't played your land drop. Its essentially another island but with some added utility.

Mono red you don't have to worry about shocklands or fetches which are the reason for decks getting stupid expensive. That is what is taking so long for me to reach naya burn. It goes from like 100$ for my deck to like 500-600$

I am thinking about building this deck but I feel Reality Shift, Kira Glass-Spinner and Myr Battlesphere should all go in. I also think Serum visions and Trinket Mage may have a place too. Why or why not should I include these cards. I am new to modern and I am considering the making of Blue Tron but I want to make a list on my own as opposed to net decking one. Please help if possible.
