Pretty sure Storm has a higher win rate than Tron and that’s without Seething Song, Rite of Flame, Preordain, Gitaxian Probe, and Ponder. Man, if they just banned the problem card to begin with (Grape Shot) instead of everything surrounding it.

They seem to be putting up roughly equal wins on the big Modern tournaments, but either way I wish they would be consistent about mana cheating. If Rite of Flame, Seething Song, and Eye of Ugin aren't fair, then neither are Pyretic/Desperate Ritual, Tronlands, and SSG.

Critical mass is the issue with the rituals, rather than the power level of any individual card I believe. Eye of ugin is an oddity in that it's really high variance acceleration.https://twitter.com/mtgaaron/status/944627062140149760 …

Also Cloudpost, which is basically an identical design but slightly better version of the Tronlands.

Eye of Ugin is a flat discount on all Eldrazi... can add 10+ "mana" in a turn. Cloudpost is like Tron except glimmerpost exists and gains tons of life and you don't have to create a unique set. Neither of these are Tron

I figured that out on account of them not having the word Urza’s in their type line.
