Putting RG Tron away for a while

Two weeks ago I pondered the future of RG Tron in Modern after the banning of Eye of Ugin in this article: http://mtgolibrary.blogspot.se/2016/04/modern-bible-of-rg-tron-update-winning.html




After that article and several videos with the deck I came across this article by Ali Aintrazi, a well know supporter of RG Tron: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=13215&writer=Ali+Aintrazi&articledate=4-13-2016

RG Tron has been a favorite deck of mine. As you know, I even wrote a 36-article series on the deck. RG Tron is exactly what I want to do in Magic. I am a Spike first but I am probably a Timmy second. Playing big creatures and sweeping the board is just awesome. Maybe my emotional attachement to the deck has depleted my ability to see things clearly. RG Tron was a tier 1.5-tier 2 deck at best and now it is even worse. 

I will put Tron away for a while. I will closely follow what happens to the deck, rejoice at its successes and think hard about the card choices, but it will not be my deck of choice this spring. 

Starting on April 26th on my YouTube channel (http://youtube.com/magicgatheringstrat) I will be playing a new Modern deck, a tier one deck - a very well known deck. I have assembled the cards and right now I am studying hard to understand the theory behind the deck. I will reveal the deck here next week.
