it the ten rings worth keeping a sideboard slot in mono g tron?

Let me pull up data on Mono G Tron and check how "The One Ring" fits in the sideboard!

That returned Legacy Tron. Let me search more specifically for the Modern version.

Found it — it's just called "tron" (Green, Modern). Let me now check The One Ring's sideboard presence and get recent data.

Great news — The Ten Rings shows up directly in the data (note: "The Ten Rings" is the Universes Within version of "The One Ring"). Let me now get sources to back this up.

Here's the breakdown:

The One Ring in Mono G Tron Sideboard

The card shows up in the data as "The Ten Rings" (its Universes Within equivalent — mechanically identical to The One Ring).

Sideboard Presence (last 60 days):

  • ~25% of Tron sideboards include it (106 decks out of 425)
  • Always a 1-of (avg 1.0 copies per deck)

Context among other sideboard slots:
The core Tron sideboard is very tight — most slots go to the Karn wishboard package. The top picks are nearly universal:

  • Liquimetal Coating & Ensnaring Bridge (~91%)
  • Tormod's Crypt (~86%), Disruptor Flute (~82%)
  • Trinisphere, Grafdigger's Cage, Walking Ballista (~72–77%)

The One Ring sits at ~25%, making it a fringe-but-real inclusion — not a staple, but clearly seeing play in roughly 1 in 4 builds.

Verdict: It's a legitimate tech choice, especially since Karn can tutor it from the board. At 25% adoption it's not mandatory, but if your meta has a lot of grindy midrange/control matchups where drawing cards is valuable, it's a reasonable 1-of to slot in.
