Green Cookbook Prison Tron

Version for RCQ, focused all-in on prison lock via land hate (removing thought-knot and adding in 4x World Breaker) and an extra One Ring in the sideboard for consistency

Record: 1-4 Matches, 4-8 Games

RCQ Oct 13 v1.4

Looking to add go-wide removal and providing stronger sideboard options for when trinisphere isn't relevant (big mana)

Swapped in
- Mainboard - 2x All is Dust: Handle go-wide boards (Energy, Yag, Soultrader)
- Sideboard - 1x Brain Stone (total 3): Swap out for Trinisphere if facing an Eldrazi or other big mana deck

Swapped out
- Mainboard - 1x Ulamog the Defiler: Didn't feel like it was consistent or contributing to the main gameplan
- Mainboard - 1x Though-knot Seer: Hesitant on this removal, but 3x main is still enough to see consistently
- Sideboard - 1x Vexing Bauble: Arguably good for Evok-mentals and Force, but doesn't really stop basic counters so not worth the slot

Cookbook Prison Tron v1.2

Active running deck for September, focusing on quick ramp into mid beaters and lockdown with Trinisphere

Cookbook Prison Tron v1.1

First assembled version of Cookbook Tron with minimal missing cards (1 Trinisphere, Liquimetal Coating, considering All will Be Dust)
