I'll analyze Tron's performance with and without Tezzeret, Cruel Captain in Modern.
Based on the tournament data, Tron performs better WITH Tezzeret, Cruel Captain:
Performance Comparison (Last 2 months):
• With Tezzeret: 58.93% winrate (66-46 record, 24 entries)
• Without Tezzeret: 52.4% winrate (393-357 record, 178 entries)
Key Stats:
• Only 12% of Tron decks (24/202 entries) run Tezzeret
• When included, pilots run an average of 3.63 copies
• The +6.5% winrate difference suggests meaningful impact
Analysis:
Tezzeret appears to be a tech choice that improves Tron's performance, likely by providing additional artifact synergy and versatility. However, the sample size is relatively small (24 entries), so the results should be interpreted cautiously.
