Deck Description

Inspired by http://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-magic-93-20-tix-modern-trading-post-tron

Added in some more win conditions.

Give me some suggestions please. :)

How to Play

Starting off with mullingan, it's always a good idea not to seek tron as fast as possible, but it's advisable to keep an island with at least 1-2 other lands and counters. Then the goal is to survive until mid-game, where you should have already built the throne of urza and start turning the tables.

Ugin, the Spirit Dragon can whipe out the board.
Spine of Ish Sah + Trading Post ability to sacrifice an artifact to draw a card is a "Destroy a land per turn" mechanic.
Treasure mage can be used as a placeholder until late game and as a tutor for the powerfull artifacts in the deck such as Wurmcoil Engine or Mindslaver.

The win conditions are the big artifact creature Wurmcoil Engine and Sundering Titan.
Wurmcoil Engine is an AggroCrusher (If you can get it in play).
Sundering Titan will destroy the opponent mana base.

The deck features the popular Mindslaver lock.
1. Play Academy Ruins
2. Play MindSlaver
3. Use MindSlaver's activated ability
4. During opponent's turn tap all of his mana, and try to be the most disuptive you can
5. During opponent's turn use Academy Ruins' activated ability to bring back on top of your library Mindslaver
6. Start your turn drawing Mindslaver
7. Go to step 2

and your opponent won't be able to play anymore.

Coming to sideboard:
Counters are pretty straight forward: side those in when the opponents has a controllish deck
Aetherize is for token based deck
Gather Specimen is meant to save 1 turn from the opponent to dump his hand of creatures (or if he already have and those are still on the stack you can get them by your side).
Relic of Progenitus is for decks that play with the graveyard like dredge.
Ward of Bones is something I really like because it helps stalling the game for a while.
