FAST AND RESILIENT! Pauper Altar Tron is high power and easily beats the blue decks

ALTAR TRON LET’S GOOOO!!! First deck I made when I started playing pauper and I still love it so.

@@HarborMastr woo! Glad you like it too man

haha same here :-)

really interesting games, great deck and solid gameplay as always!

@@BigMek123 thanks a lot!

[@Mx_Miki]

Awesome watching you pilot this beast!! How do you think this compares to the tron eggs deck you showcased recently? Which would you pick for a paper tournament?

[@kalikaiz]

@@Mx_Miki it definitely plays similarly but I sortof feel like altar is better overall. Would definitely bring it I think

@@dougljenkins it's just so awesome to have all the mana!

[@oblobear2093]

Have you tested molten gatekeeper in this deck yet? Just wondering, coz you can easily put it in the bin with rowan's then just unearth it on the combo turn.

[@kalikaiz]

@@oblobear2093 yep I think gatekeeper is good but I like that with the cost reducers I can play munitions. Munitions allows for the post board plan you see vs mono red

[@zackb9383]

Love this deck. Would you still run Foundry if you were running it in paper or is that just a MTGO time consideration?

[@kalikaiz]

@@zackb9383 I was trying to think that through and I feel that it's just a lot more explosive so it's worth it right now. Otherwise maybe you could try 4 altar 4 foundry and try to get that engine going quickly

[@silasdutch1426]

Hey kalikaiz, have you thought about adding some royalty free music in the background of your videos? Just a thought, great play of altar tron as always!

[@kalikaiz]

@@silasdutch1426 I haven't actually no. I think it would be distracting. Did you want to spice it up?

[@silasdutch1426]

@kalikaiz I've seen other mtg creators have low impact low fi in the background which helps to bridge the gaps, but honestly you do a good job of talking and editing that it may not even be good for your style

[@v01dv01d]

@@kalikaiz If I can add my grain of salt : I don't like background music. Your videos are really cool as is. And as the time goes, the audio kept getting better until now, like perfection.

[@kalikaiz]

@@silasdutch1426 yeah I think if the entire league were in the video that makes sense. But I like using my tool to edit out dead space which I hope keeps it moving. This video was over 2 hours of recorded time!

[@atrooien]

⁠@@kalikaizwhatever you are using to edit out the dead time is the best part about your channel! Now it’s hard to watch anyone else’s unedited videos. Is the tool voice-activated or something?

[@Fairplayyyy]

Nice video, as always! Could you please bring some simic deck? That is not fog or infect. I'd love to see something with ramp and control

[@joeaquilino19]

Extra disputes and maybe another blood fountain could be good to avoid dead draws??

[@kalikaiz]

@@joeaquilino19 I like to play way more card draw but then we aren't quite as explosive and don't have the ability to just go off as fast. You can swap around the 3rd alter, 3 inspector. Those 4 cards can be changed to try and tool it

[@ullrich]

This might be difficult or impossible for some obvious reason I'm not aware of, but I wonder if MTGO could create a loop tool. Like you would go into loop mode, demonstrate the loop and it records it in a kind of script format (so you can see each step and make sure it's set correctly). You'd then set how many times you want it to loop and then it just jumps to the end of that. You'd probably need to set limits on how many elements the loop can have and how many times you can repeat it. But that would be really helpful.

[@kalikaiz]

It's been suggested a lot and the team has said it isn't doable. Unfortunate

[@ullrich]

@@kalikaiz Damn, oh well. Silver lining: 🕶

[@mistahj6724]

In general, which version of Tron do you think is better? Egg Tron or the Altar Tron or the Fog Tron? thank you Kali

[@kalikaiz]

If you're playing in paper i would recommend altar at the moment because playing eggs feels nigh impossible from a manual dexterity standpoint

@@xboxgamer474246 I was never that big of a fan of rumble here. I don't think it works. I liked stirrings a lot but I found it lacking a little. I missed that two Tron land 1 map opener too much

[@xboxgamer474246]

@@kalikaizI’ve been running a list with 3 Stirrings, 2 Rumblings & no Maps in paper. Blocking with and bargaining the Eldrazi token has come up multiple times! Though, the games I lost are often games where I couldn’t assemble tron in time, so you’re likely onto something.

[@kalikaiz]

@@xboxgamer474246 sometimes the simple version is best haha

[@josecelsofreitaspianista4466]

Cycling the entire deck should be about 30 card, if you multiply it by 6 (very hard to pull it off) you are in the range of 180 damage... I do believe it is impossible for cycle storm to deal 300 damage, unless they have some sort of infinite loop hidden in there (some versions might actually, with a couple skaabs to loop and trolls to swampcycle)

[@kalikaiz]

@@josecelsofreitaspianista4466 yeah plus the clock issues

[@aliensoup1218]

Any room for molten gatekeeper?

[@kalikaiz]

You can use it over munitions if you'd like, but I like munitions post board

[@AndreaFlora-gs6cl]

Would you play the same list in paper?

[@kalikaiz]

@@AndreaFlora-gs6cl the only thing you don't really need is the stream I think

[@mborghi13]

2 questions for you on this list, any reason you are still on ancient Grudge in the sideboard over the new split second destroy artifact spell? Second question: what do you think about putting a few copies of toxin analysis in the side board to pair with the krark clan shamans like affinity does, in order to help clear the big board against mono blue, gruul cascade and the likes? My initial feeling is it's a cool thought but might be too much to side in 3 copies of krark + 2 toxin analysis in those match up, as I usually try to side 4 or less cards when playing combo

[@kalikaiz]

basically because grudge deals with 2 relics in 1 card so i only need 1. I don't think i need the toxin combo, and it would be a lot of effort to get in the full amount of cards required but unsure. I think i agree

[@mborghi13]

@kalikaiz makes sense, thanks for the reply and the video!
