This is a “draw-go” style deck. The plan is to just play a land every turn and pass. You almost never play a spell in your own turn in order to keep mana open during your opponent’s turn. If your opponent plays something threatening, you use your open mana to counter it. The deck includes 14 counterspells, so you should usually hold one. If you happen to have mana open at the end of your opponent’s turn, you activate Scrying Sheets, hoping to look at a snow land, or play/flashback Think Twice. Eventually you have countered everything your opponent has played, and overwhelm him with card advantage. Well, that’s the plan at least. In case a creature has slipped under your countermagic, you can either Repeal it, or use the red splash; Skred will gladly clean up the table. Your lands were all snow for Scrying Sheets already, so Skred fits right in.

Some versions use Phyrexian Ironfoot and/or Rimefeather Owl as their snowy win conditions, but other decks play one that combines well with Skred: Stuffy Doll! Playing double Skred on your own Stuffy Doll when you have ten lands out is an even easier win. Why pay eleven mana for a Demonfire when Skred does the same for only one red? Stuffy Doll is nice as it functions as a big wall that doesn’t encourage attacks, plus it lives through Wrath of God.

This deck is based around the key Time Spiral draft common Momentary Blink. The Blink decks run a lot of 187 creatures like Loxodon Hierarch and Yavimaya Dryad that have beneficial effects when they come into play. In the early game, he can be flipping over all kinds of fuel with Coiling Oracle to dominate attrition. The really sexy Blink combo is with Mystic Snake… Who said we don't have hard counters for two mana any more?

Decklist (note: this is an "old" pre-Planar Chaos decklist):Spoiler: Show This deck is fairly straightforward; play black creatures, then Bad Moon, and attack. Perhaps a removal or discard spell in between.

The above version may be outdated. A recent version by dadadad I have seen lately includes Last Gasp, Phyrexian Arena, The Rack, Soul Collector, Dauthi Slayer, Stupor, Soul Spike, Chilling Shade, Stromgald Crusader, Smallpox, Desert, and Snow-covered Swamps.

This deck is powerful and versatile. Any deck with the ‘Tron is probably not optimally consistent in the abstract but makes up for that fact by being able to muscle the opponent into the ground with a massive mana advantage once out of the early game. As with the ‘Tron decks we've seen in the past, the Japanese TriscuitTron stalls early with Signets into Remand then moves in for the power cards late game.

Once the ‘tron is online, TriscuitTron can lock the game completely out with Spell Burst. It has early plays with Spell Snare and can snap the table in two with Wrath of God. Because the deck plays many singletons, you never know what to expect. How about flashbacking Mystical Teachings off Dimir Signet into the one maindeck Commandeer? Crazy stuff.

The endgame for TriscuitTron used to be Triskelavus, which did a great job of controlling the board. But the latest update by Katsuhiro Mori includes the Brine Elemental / Vesuvan Shapeshifter lock instead, which are conveniently fetched via the singleton Mystical Teachings once Teferi is in play.
