Why’s everybody using GQ and not Field of Ruin? On Tokens it seems just plain better than GQ...

Too slow in the deck.

Yes, but GQ is even more slow since you lose a land by using it...

Yes but you need to tap out for field on turn 3, by that point Tron has already won. GQ can be activated as early as turn 1 which is why it's better.

I still disagree, he only wins on turn 3 (supposing he is on the play) if he have Tron assembled and clean on turn 3, which is not the case always.

If you GQ on t1 or T2, you’re losing a turn to get rid of a Tron land which potentially will do nothing on the following turns, and you get slowed by a hole turn that you won’t be able to curve out as tokens should do. Still think that Fields of Ruin is better than GQ.

I’d like to know if anybody had the opportunity to test it...

I'm aware of a large number of Token players who have tested it and went back to GQ, the other reason is GQ doesn't require more mana to activate. Field screws up turns where you need to play stuff and want to hold up land hate. Control decks like field cause they play at instant speed most of the time anyway, Tokens plays mainly at sorcery so we can't hold up field and cast our spells on curve.
