LSV Fights Hogaak With Tron... Mono-Blue Tron!

This deck is similar to Eldrazi Tron, in that it can do plenty of cool things without assembling all the Urza lands, and really pops off once it does. I especially like playing Fact or Fiction into Torrential Gearhulk - how can you not love that sequence?

Against combo, you disrupt them with Remand and Nimble Obstructionist, and this deck even has the spicy addition of Lazotep Plating. That stops any hand disruption or burn spells, as well as shutting off some combo finishes.

Against faster decks, Repeal and Walking Ballista buy time, and once you get full Tron you can easily overpower them with huge things like Wurmcoil Engine and Ugin.

This deck is a ton of fun, and I've always loved playing Blue Tron, up to and including when Modern was first launched, so I can't recommend it more highly. It may need even more graveyard hate if Hogaak continues to dominate, but I'm hoping bans will solve that problem sooner rather than later.
