Infect is not consistent teir 1, unless your tom ross. Tron is much more teir 1 then infect
MTGSalvation has strict guidelines for what it tier 1, 2, etc. and I think we should abide by their definitions:
Proven
Competitive Decks Representing the Current Metagame
Proven decks are updated every ban cycle. A Proven thread must have a primer updated since the last ban cycle. A deck is considered "Proven" if it fulfills TWO or more of the following criteria:
Makes up 3%+ of the MTGO metagame (reported 4-0/3-1 and T16 decks at Dalies/Premiers) over the last 3 months (i.e. has prevalence greater than one standard deviation over average MTGO deck prevalence)
Has 1+ Grand Prix/Pro Tour Top 8 appearance in the last 6 months
Has 3+ Grand Prix/Pro Tour Top 16 appearances in the last 6 months
Makes up 3.5%+ of the Day 2 metagame at all GPs in the last 6 months/since the most recent significant ban update (i.e. has prevalence greater than one standard deviation over average day 2 prevalence at GPs)
Makes up 3.5%+ of the Paper Top 8 metagame for events, held in the last 6 months/since the most recent significant ban update, with 40+ players (i.e. has prevalence greater than one standard deviation over average deck prevalence at above average attendance paper events)
Proven decks:
Affinity
UR Twin
Melira Pod
BG Rock
Jund
Scapeshift
RG Tron
UWR Control
Storm
Merfolk
RUG Twin
Kiki Pod
Bogles
Tier 2
Established
Tournament Decks with Results
Established decks are updated once every ban cycle. All Established threads must have a primer updated since the last ban cycle. A deck is considered "Established" if it does not meet the requirements of "Proven" but still fulfills ONE or more of the following criteria:
1 Has finished 4-0/3-1 at 17+ dailies in the past 3 months (above average finish count for decks that are not 2+ standard deviations over the pooled average, i.e. the "adjusted pool")
2 Has 1+ major paper event (Grand Prix, Pro Tour) Top 16 appearance in the last 6 months
3 Has 15+ Day 2 metagame apperances at all major paper events in the last 6 months/since the most recent significant banlist update (i.e. any deck with above average day 2 prevalence for all day 2 decks at Modern GPs, all for the adjusted pool)
4 Has 7+ T8 showings in large paper events with 40+ players in the past 6 months/since the most recent significant banlist update (above average finish count for the adjusted pool)
5 Second Chance Policy: A deck must fail to meet Established criteria in 2 consecutive ban quarter to be moved to Creation.

Proven decks:
RG Tron
HAH!
But Taysbys version is not proven, btw man if you want me to get into rg tron follow this simple list:
If you follow the conditions I will:
Play modern in a competitive tournament with rg tron for every week for the next 2 years, and will do a larger tournament every 3-4 months or whenever a large modern tournament shows up.
Master the deck.
Become a supporter of rg tron on imtg, and on the target/Walmart FAQ sub forums, including the Starbucks help and support program.
And all you have to do:
Send me the bulk of the costly cards of rg tron.
If accepted address will be given in a pm,
;)

I would assume i'd still own the cards, correct? ;)
(but really, if you want to compete with it in a large tourney, i'd send it to you to use. practice on untap.in or cockatrice)
Nah, I'll just practice online until the holidays and then buy either monoblue or gifts tron
