I'll analyze the winrate difference for Modern Tron decks with and without Tezzeret, Cruel Captain. Let me start by getting the current Modern format information and searching for the card.
Now let me get an overview of Tron archetypes to understand which variant we're looking at:
Now let me query the database to compare the winrate of Tron entries with and without Tezzeret, Cruel Captain over the last 60 days:
Let me also get some recent tournament sources to provide context:
Based on the tournament data from the last 60 days, Modern Tron decks that include Tezzeret, Cruel Captain show a significantly higher winrate than those without it. Tron builds with Tezzeret achieved a 60.0% winrate across 38 entries, while traditional Tron lists without the planeswalker posted a 52.3% winrate across 201 entries - a difference of 7.7 percentage points.
The sample size suggests that Tezzeret adoption in Tron is still relatively limited, appearing in only about 16% of Tron entries (38 out of 239 total). However, those pilots choosing to include the colorless planeswalker are finding considerable success. The card's ability to untap Tron lands and artifacts while providing card advantage through its artifact tutoring appears to be providing meaningful value in the archetype.
This performance gap is particularly notable given that both groups are playing fundamentally the same archetype with the same core Tron package. The 7.7% winrate improvement suggests Tezzeret is providing real strategic advantage rather than just being correlation with better pilots or favorable meta positioning.
