I'll analyze Tron's current position in the Modern format for you.
Current Position: Tron sits as the 4th most popular archetype in Modern, representing 5.65% of the meta with a 49.89% winrate (excluding draws).
Performance Trends:
• Recent struggle: Winrate has declined, particularly in early September (43.1% in week of Sep 1-7)
• Peak period: Strong performance in mid-August with 52-53% winrates
• Presence fluctuation: Varied from 1.37% to 18.75% week-to-week, showing inconsistent pilot adoption
Current Build:
• Core engine: Full playsets of Urza lands + Expedition Map
• Key threats: Ugin, Eye of the Storms (3.2 avg) and Karn, the Great Creator (4.0 avg)
• New additions: Kozilek's Command and Devourer of Destiny are now format staples in the deck
Meta Context:
Tron faces a challenging environment with aggressive decks like Boros Energy (14.66% presence) and efficient midrange strategies like Esper Blink dominating the format. The archetype's sub-50% winrate suggests it's currently positioned as a "known quantity" rather than a meta leader.
