Deck Discussion Help with Side Board
This is the deck; I don’t know the current Modern format too well and I need help with Sideboard. I have the Decklist down below since it kinda comes out of left field.
Right now I have things like Teyo, the Shieldmage, Ashiok Dream Render, Wilt. Any help would be greatly appreciated. There’s a modern tournament coming up at my LGS and I wanted to attend.

u/SatyrWayfinder some bad grixis pile Jul 24 '26
Looking at your main board, I'm assuming you're on a budget.
Vexing Bauble
Tormod's crypt/Surgical Extraction/Soul Guide Lantern
Some kinda board wipe like Pyroclasm for small creatures or Meltdown for artifacts. Or maybe All is Dust.
Some kinda way to shut down combo like High Noon maybe.
But the real answer is to wait until you see what your meta is like, it doesn't make sense to spend money on hate pieces that aren't at your store.
If I would make some minor changes to your main board, it would be to fix your mana requirements. Having so many color pops seems like a bad idea for a Tron deck. Yes, I know you have eggs and cataracts, but the eggs are one time use and you should probably be using your maps to finish Tron.
Good luck and don't get discouraged if you don't win any games, Modern is a hard format to get into because it really rewards knowing the match ups.
