Summary Dismissal is good vs Ulamog/Emrakul/Worldbreaker/Grapeshot/Empty the Warrens/Gaya's Revenge/Slaughter Games/Cavern of Souls/Boseju. Disallow is not.
Some other fun stuff I have done with Dismissal is stop O Stone activation and stop Nahiri ulti but Disallow can do those too.
Dredge is less than 2% of the online meta and therefore not relevant enough to deserve any hate in the SB. If you have Dredge in your meta try Surgical, Grafdiggers, Tormods, Relic.
In general is the Death Shadow Matchup really hard? I have yet being able to play the matchup as none of my friends have the Death Shadow deck IRL and I do not have the tron deck on MODO
I played against it like 5 times and for some reason I never lost. I feel like it shouldn't be the case though. Wurmcoil walls the hell out of them and threatens lethal pretty easily because of how low they drop themselves. Repeal is mvp in this matchup. I also like chalice on 1, even though they can easily get rid of it. The only cards im actually afraid of are Temur battlerage because of the trample, and liliana.
Spreading seas in the sb can be used in multiple match ups. I particularly love it against burn. Also, having a Gemstone Caverns on the draw can be very rewarding. Surgical Extraction can be somewhat flexible as well. Hope this helps!!
You can't really dodge the Chalice. I tried skimping on them for a while too, but so many match-ups are turned on their head by a resolved Chalice or even by forcing chalice to be removed from hand rather than a reactive spell.
You can cut the 2nd slaver and sundering titan. Titan sucks now that there are so many colored lands that dont have types running around. A 2nd wurmcoil is better in that slot.
The most important upgrades are definitely Ugin, then chalices, then probably a gearhulk. You can also replace that bottle gnomes with filigree familiar.
I don't think Batterskull makes a lot of sense right now. These days there is less Path to Exile running around and more Kolaghan's Command than in the past when I played Batterskull. I replaced my Batterskull with Engine #2. I still believe Gearhulk is great and play it instead of Sundering Titan.
7/10 split is king and wins games outright. Sure it isn't good v a few decks but it usually escalates things rather quickly.(S. Titan) ... Gearhulk is like tits on a bull.. Utterly useless. These two descriptions of these cards are facts. Not debatable.
I think we need to sling a few mirror matches pierakor. I feel you have lost your own way and need to realize a few things =).
Hello, I am long time lurker on this primer and have played mono u tron on and off for a couple of years now. Our modern meta has all but died until the release of modern masters and now it is exploding. As such I would like to begin playing this deck again regularly at our locals.
I was just wondering if I could get any input into a good list for a local meta that consists of a couple merfolk decks as well as a couple sun and moon decks. Other decks in the meta are mostly aggro variants with one other tron players(eldrazi tron). I know this probably doesn't sound like a very good meta for this deck, but it is the only one I intend to play in and I would like to use this deck even if I have to make drastic changes to the main to stay relevant. I should have access to all cards required. Thanks all
Sun and Moon as well as Eldrazitron are byes (80% winrate). Just pack some good hate for fish (Merfolk Assassin) and depending on the other aggro decks Steel Wall, Desert Fox or Arbiter.
I just took my sundering titan out of my 75. I had him in the sideboard for a while, but against my local meta he just doesn't see enough play. Here's the list I'm running this week. Let me know what you think.
Waiting on getting the snapcaster. He'll be replacing one of the remands. If I see out local elves player about before the tournament, my hibernation is going into the sideboard for sure.
eldrazis (ulamog)? Valakut? other multiple triggers (like prized analgram in dredge)?
Some other fun stuff I have done with Dismissal is stop O Stone activation and stop Nahiri ulti but Disallow can do those too.

You can't, snapcaster is Tfk 5, remand 4-5, condescend 5, dismember 3 etc etc
If one literally can't find one Spreading Seas or Squelch maybe - something that cantrips almost certainly.

I dislike Engine, Angel, O stone masterpiece, I like Sundering Titan, Solemn, CotV tho. Gearhulk both artworks are nice.
