This deck is better than GR Tron? I have everything sitting in a cart, I just need to be convinced the 30$ is worth it.
It has a better combo matchup than R/G Tron, but R/G has a better aggro matchup. This is a control deck that occasionally herp a derps a turn 3 Wurmcoil or turn 4 Sundering Titan. I'd call R/G Tron better overall.

R/G Tron can sometimes just sit there and do nothing, but yes this deck is a control deck you do have a great non-Loam control MU and great Midrange MU
R/G has a better Aggro MU, where this deck shines vs Combo
EDIT: This deck has been putting up some decent results lately, should a Primer be written for it?
Well, I never piloted UW Tron, but the colors surely suggests so.
I was toying around with a red or white splash for things like Pyroclasm, Path to Exile or Supreme Verdict, but it seems to me that it just dilutes the game plan.
What about cards like Evacuation, Devastation Tide or Cyclonic Rift instead of the Repeals against Aggro? Maybe a huge bounce is all we need to carry us in a favorite position. Maybe we also need a 4th Solemn. Early Blockers are good, I heard. Maybe a 2nd Oblivion Stone?
Yeah, Repeal is the card I'm more keen to replace with the Red/White splash for removal, but the card is so good and versatile. It deals with problematic enchantments and artifacts while also slowing aggro enough.
I'll try the Kaijin given that the Infect matchup is bad (damn Stonewood Invocation). It seems to slow aggro enough. Maybe a third Wurmcoil engine from the SB too, this card is awesome in these matchups.

Kaijin is pretty sweet Vs Burn and Infect, the main appeal is it drops turn 2-3 and now they have to answer it or can't attack on the ground
I still like Repeal it is very versatile and powerful, that said, Cyclonic Rift seems hilarious Vs Boggles

I guess this is becoming a part of the online meta? If I have luck in paper MTG, I might take this to a PTQ. In the meantime I built it online and I'm gonna play a few dailies later this week.
Liking this deck a great deal, so I ordered it in paper as well.
Always been a fan of Tron, so I just missed a few cards, I would recommend this deck to all other Tron players, not being so bummed out by narrow hate is great.
Having a though time against agro, so I may have to buy those Spellskites online after all, actually having the blue mana makes it insane.
Figure they will help a great deal but I'm, really missing my pyroclasm as a total hoser here.
Seems like a though deck to master, but I'm starting to understand it.
Anyway, a primer would always be interesting.

Try Kaijin Of The Vanishing Touch Vs Aggro, Spellskite is equally as important Vs Boggles
If people want a Primer I can work on it over the weekend, but I'll need some help with MUs

I'm still not fully understand why the deck needs 2 mindslavers, can someone please explain? It seems like we'd be better off with another answer spell, seems being the key word.

to ensure you are able to draw/search for one pretty much
as for competing vs. aggro game one, I see recent lists having 3 oblivion stone. I was thinking of other main board cards we could run but only really came up with Batterskull
The 4-0 list ran 0 stones, and replaced the one-of with another Talisman. Does the extra acceleration let the deck hit the endgame before aggro can win, or is there another reason?

O-Stones are expensive on MTGO
