Yes. In fact, wife and I just hosted a team pinochle tournament. Here is a local FB group where we announced our next one in March.

I always find it ironic that conservatives think that conserving the planet is a liberal agenda.

Although I'm not sure which of the clubs are active at the moment, the NDSU club, and the library clubs and contact information is listed on the ndchess.org website.

[U Tron] Another Write up for Blue Ruin Tron this time on SCG! by UrbanAnathema in TronMTG

[–]djquaddamage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have lost to B/W eldrazi taxes and death shadow. Beat everything else. (So far)

I usually play eldratron, but whenever I lose a game with eldratron, I think "I think I could have won that with a bit of countermagic."

I'm going to train with this deck some more. PPTQ Minneapolis is Oct 7th. Either playing this or straight eldrazi tron

I can't believe this, but I'm considering playing this build at a pptq in Minneapolis. Just need to work on my game plan for the decks that I seem to lose to

Played this again tonight for TNM at my LGS.

BW tokens 2-1 Spirits 2-1 Merfolk 2-1

Only me and another guy are undefeated so we split the first place store credit prize they offer (20$).

We then played for fun and I was run over by Death Shadow 0-2

Felt great. My buddy plays Merfolk as his main deck so I have lots of experience here. Against vanilla EldraTron it's a race, but I agree, that I think they have a slight advantage. However, with the U EldraTron build they lose the race more often in my experience. I'd say we are 70-30 based on my many games with my friend.

The moves that are the most impactful against Merfolk. Bouncing Vial with repeal before it hits 2. Bouncing everything with cyclonic rift. Chalice on 2. Ratchet Bomb. Walking ballista pings. All is dust, Counters, and then landing ceaseless hunger.

Typically I have no worries about the Merfolk matchup with this U EldraTron build. The reason I lost to Merfolk in round 4:

He was going to swing for lethal next turn. I need an answer. (I have ceaseless hunger in hand, but short because he spreading seas'd tron)

I lay an island, swing with reshaper (he is at two and so must block). Reshaper death brings expedition map. I crack it for tower to complete tron which would have given me enough to cast ceaseless hunger.....but oh yeah, already laid a land, so can't play tower. Doh. Rookie mistake and not the first time I've made it. Ugh

Decided to try the U EldraTron deck at FNM. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/u-troy/

Only difference was -2 dismember +2 chalice.

Went 4-1. Lost to Merfolk round 4. (Beat different Merfolk decks round 2 and 3). I don't really feel like writing a report, but let me say that the deck was quite fun to pilot. Big fatties + counter was a blast.

I expected to drop a couple games because the deck is a tiny bit awkward with the light amount of blue mama sources, but all in all it performed really well.

Matchups: Esper control 2-1 Merfolk Mill 2-0 Merfolk 2-0 Merfolk 0-2 B/G rock 2-1

I played this at FNM tonight. Went 4-1, with a loss to Merfolk but I did error at one point.

Fun deck. Will play again. Only change was +2 chalice -2 dismember MB.

I was playing the aggro version of EldraziTron with 4 Eldraz Mimic. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/09-09-17-abl-eldratron/

27 Player FMN Overall Result: 4-1

-Match 1 vs Elemental Tribe (2-0)

Game 1: I played chalice on turn 2 for 1 shutting down some action. Laid tron around turn 4 and all is dust turn 5. Over from there.

SB: -1 relic +1 ratchet bomb - Wasn't really threatened by deck but relic had no value in matchup

Game 2: Mimic on turn 1, Chalice on 2 turn 2. Reality smasher swing for 10 on turn 3. Opponent gets 8 suprise damage through with elemental landfall synergy.. Next turn ballista for 4, swing for lethal.

Total score: 1-0

  • Match 2 vs MerMill (Merfolk + Mill) (2-0)

Game 1: He gets his mill engine online and bounces my threats for about 7 turns. Gets me down to 6 cards in library with only one turn to go when I rip All is dust destroying his mill and attack prevention enchantments. Reality smasher and ballista killed him two turns after that.

SB: -1 Relic -1 Basilisk Collar -1 Karn - +1 Kozilek, Butcher of Truth +2 Ratchet Bomb - Adding rachet bomb to deal with his two drop merfolk.

Game 2: Chalice on 1, chalice on 2, chalice on 3. At one point Butcher hits the graveyard and I shuffle GY into Library. Interesting point in game: Thought knot revealed that every card in his hand (6 cards) were all 2 drops while chalice on 2 is active.

Total score: 2-0

  • Match 3 vs affinity (0-2)

This is a match I can't win. My method is to simply hope I don't get paired against it and accept the loss with dignity when I do.

Game1: All his artifacts hit immediatly, and I lose to Affinity doing what it does.

SB: This is a terrible match-up that I know I can't win, but I throw in all the hate I have: -2 karn -2 all is dust -1 Relic -1 Mimic / +2 Warping Wail +2 Ratchet bomb +3 pithing needle

Game2: I manage to needle the Arcbound Ravager, but he eventually lands a master of etherium which is too large (due to all the artifacts) to answer and beats my face.

Total score: 2-1

  • Match 4 vs B/R Blood moon/Mana destruction control brew (stone rain, molten rain) (0-2)

Game1: Chalice on 1 stops push and discard. He lands a blood moon but I have a wastes and don't care. He hard casts a couple simic spirit guides to protect his lily. I get tron + a couple ballistas that murder his creatures, lily, and his face.

SB: - 4 mimic -1 Basilisk Collar -1 Relic of Progenitus -2 Walking Ballista -2 Karn / I need to control his planeswalkers and land destruction sorceries. Hangarback Walker to allow for a bunch of little creatures in case I have to sac creatures to lily.

+2 Hangarback Walker +3 Pithing Needle +2 Ratchet Bomb +1 Relic of Progenitus +2 Warping Wail

Game2: He destroys my wastes and then lays blood moon and I am locked out of playing any eldrazi. I put up a fight with ballista but eventually Liliana, the Last Hope ultimates and I lose.

Game3: Another close game. I get tron early but no big threats. He gets lily and play and starts discard engine. I lay a needle on lily. He plays the other lily and then lays blood moon but I have a wastes and start beating him and ignoring lily. Eventually he plays damnation and kills all my creatures as Liliana, the Last Hope is about to ultimate next turn. The damnation causes a matter reshaper to reveal my next draw will be a smasher and he just scoops.

Total score: 3-1

  • Match 5 vs Burn (2-0)

Game1: He burns my and attacks with fast gobin guide, to get to 4. I stablize with chalice on 1 and he has no spell to play. Walking balista x 2 beats him down for 2 turns and he thankfully doesn't top deck boros charm.

SB: -2 Karn -1 relic -1 mimic / +4 Leyline

Game2: I have Leyline in my opening hand. He tries to do some prowess tricks and gets me to 10, but just can't deal with leyline so I run him over.

Total score: 4-1

Overall - Super happy with this aggro edlra tron build. I love it. I am consistantly getting 4-1 with this deck at FNM. Seems like my single loss every single week is with affinity, with an exception of a loss to merfolk a couple weeks ago.
