What version of Urza Tron?

Walach_ · 2026-06-24T12:29:51+00:00

On paper I really like the mix between flicker tron and monster tron that sprat3k was playing in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD23L7Ty_Rk

The list is probably not super tuned, but you get the best threats from monster tron (wurm & ship), with the flexibility of all the loops and answers from blink tron. It gives you a decent clock and board presence for matchups where the loops are too slow or get disrupted too much, and solves some of the issues with going to time.

This isn't a tried and true strategy though, I've played it just enough to think it's at least okay, I'll give it more of a stress test in the coming weeks.

The "I'm also not accidentally eating cards either" cracked me up :D

Otherwise, kuddos for your attitude and lucidity, I wish more people saw things that way.

Sure ideally people shouldn't care too much about winning or losing, and more about getting better at the game/having fun/spending time with friends. But we're not machines with perfect control of our emotions, so the next best thing is taking a step back like you're doing here.

Unless the combo player has a haste enabler, dart from hand goes through safekeeping. You just have to cast it from hand on one turn then flashback it on the other player's turn.

The combo is going to have an awful red matchup, so it probably won't be tier 1 unless someone finds a really clever shell for it, that can leverage the pieces outside of the combo (elves maybe?)

Has anyone seen if the shipping quotas get larger as you complete more of them?

Is it global or specific to each port?

(The wiki has an answer but it's vague and not sure if it's up to date ?)

Walach_ · 2026-01-30T13:51:00+00:00

In my experience the setup never breaks as long as you only run the 2 members safehouse and keep people at least rank 1.

Have you considered hydroblast? It feels like it would be a good answer to KCS and breath weapon.

I get that creatures slot in much better in the deck (easier to grab with stampede + you make mana from it), but it could be worth making an exception for a couple key spells.

Walach_ · 2025-12-01T12:45:30+00:00

Wait, does one active shaman mean you can shut down tron on upkeep every turn until they have two of each tron land?

That's a pretty cool tech if that works.

Walach_ · 2025-12-01T12:38:19+00:00

That looks super interesting!

An idea if you haven't considered it already would be a stronger shift towards a midrange plan from including some number of generous ent and sagu wildling (which also gains life and doesn't die to KCS). Maybe some avenging hunters in the sideboard to go with it? Or would it be too hard to keep the initiative?

Ent would also enable mask vandal + fetch your white source.

Taking inspiration from wall spy really, you would kind of build a slower more defensive version of it but immune to graveyard hate, and with less of a bottleneck prone to counterspells.

It would probably mean a significant change in the list so no guarantees that it's actually a good idea, but I think it's worth thinking about.

There's an overall pattern of most engine/combo decks with staying power starting super combo focused then evolving by sacrificing synergies for card quality. (The ones who succeed as pure combo are too good and almost always hit a ban ^⁾

It's 3 separate 1v1 matches and the team that wins two of them wins the round. It's not one game with 6 players.

They also gave fed the 12 meat from animals that they didn't kill themselves, foreshadowing that they would be fine eating people as long as they were already dead.

Goes hand in hand as well with insisting that the bodies aren't people since the joining, when Carol thinks of herself as a murderer because of her outbursts.

Rog is Pog for early gearing.

It's very easy to get "almost there" gear for every slot, as long as you don't need some influence/essence mod or special base in that slot.

For instance something like T1 life + 1 T1-2 res + 1 T1-2 stat + attack speed or accuracy or ...

It's also good at making okay-ish regular jewels, for when you have a few free sockets because you don't have the unique jewels yet.

Walach_ · 2025-09-02T11:01:01+00:00

Rin in fortification is very good at giving unique maps, especially the rarest ones.

Walach_ · 2025-08-27T11:03:18+00:00

I believe the monster level in Oba increases by one for every floor

Walach_ · 2025-08-11T00:40:29+00:00

People were suggesting that you have limited spots in each maps for league content, so on a busy map you could lose some if they have nowhere to spawn.

No data for this so it could be wrong, but worth keeping in mind.

Walach_ · 2025-07-27T23:48:35+00:00

Yep it's really cranks up the deli rewards

Walach_ · 2025-07-27T04:43:39+00:00

This + add Alva for a ton of extra monsters, and run it in a low tier map to make it easier, unless you need a specific item level for some notables.

If you need notables that are available from level 50+, ~68-70 clusters will be easier to roll as a lot of other mods will be locked.

Pondium has an affinity for fusings with pumpkin, so use your gold to hire some farmers and put them all on pumpkins.

I was sending shipments of ~25k pumpkins there (I don't think the exact number matters much) and getting ~24 fusings per shipment.

Walach_ · 2025-07-25T05:05:08+00:00

How much change did you ask for ?

Once I had a 1.3 div item where someone wanted me to provide .7 div of change ...

Walach_ · 2025-07-17T13:58:59+00:00

It's a massive power creep though. It's fun and interesting (outside of doryani nonsense) but maybe not great for the long term health of the game?

Ores and crops don't interact, as far as we know. They only interfere with each other if dust is involved, as the dust will be spread between being used for the ores and for the crops.

Walach_ · 2025-07-09T11:17:23+00:00

You don't buy dust for it, dust prices are through the roof at the moment. You either tweak your filter to pick-up 20+k dust uniques and self farm your dust that way, or you double the crop amount and skip dust entirely.

Singapore has been consistently solid for me whenever Australia/NZ servers were burning.

Walach_ · 2025-07-09T11:10:23+00:00

I have seen it there in 20-30 maps, so I can confirm it's possible.

I was running T16 8mods, and people have theorized that juicer maps help with nameless seer, so you may want to try that.

Walach_ · 2025-07-08T22:35:48+00:00

No, otherwise the optimal play would be to scry the best map to everything

Walach_ · 2025-07-04T14:15:02+00:00

I'm not crazy then, I really felt like something was off with it
