While Eldrazi Tron has been putting up decent finishes and even winning a Super Qualifier last weekend, traditional Mono-Green Tron strategies haven’t. That was until ArchaeusDota won the Super Qualifier yesterday with Jegantha Golos Tron, finally putting Tron with a companion on the map.

The payoffs in this build of Tron vary from the older Mono-Green variants, most importantly taking advantage of Golos, Tireless Pilgrim. With Jegantha, the Wellspring taking care of most of the activation cost of Golos, the deck gets a real card-advantage engine on top of its busted fast mana starts. While the deck misses out on cards like Walking Ballista and Dismember, it can top out with massive Eldrazi and use the Karn, the Great Creator artifact toolbox sideboard.
