Agreed. I completely forgot about the Signets.
-Talismen of Dominance
+Azorius Signet.

Surely that's not nearly enough Islands.

Karn just looks like a bad one-of.

I assume Gifts for value? Seems a lot worse than in the Gifts Rites shell.

4 Wurmcoils is very overkill with 4 Treasure Mage.

Mana Leak just seems weak.

The lack of Repeal is odd.

Academy Ruins at more than 1 looks awful. It doesn't produce blue or multiple mana and it's legendary.

Mainboard Tec Edge seems kinda loose.

- 2 Wurmcoil Engine
- 1 Treasure Mage
- 1 Karn Liberated
- 4 Gifts Ungiven
- 2 Mana Leak
- 2 Tectonic Edge
- 1 Academy Ruins

+ 1 Remand
+ 1 Condescend
+ 1 Azorius Signet
+ 3 Repeal
+ 1 Oblivion Stone
+1 Dismember
+2 Snapcaster Mage
+3 Islands

What do you think of splashing a little white, keeping to this base, for cards like Path to Exile? Or would keeping to UTron entirely be the better play?

4 Treasure Mage wasn't wrong, it was the large number of Wurmcoils that was.

4 Treasure Mage lets you run essentially 5 of each of your non-Wurmcoil win-cons and 6-7 of your Wurmcoils, essentially.

U-Tron is more consistent and has better matchups across the board, but a worse aggro matchup.

UW-Tron is more explosive and has a better aggro matchup. If you want to go Gifts/Rites, then you need to be able to actually hard cast Elesh Norn and Iona, with your mana base.

- 1 Azorius Signet
+ 1 Treasure Mage

Thanks for the input. I'll try out a UW Tron soon enough at my LGS to see which one plays better.
