Both decks are realtively cheap, but which one do you think is better. not vs eachother in a game, but all around. what are there good and bad matches etc

Kaworu, the Fifth Child

If Taysby chimes in you'll get that both sick and RG is the only good Tron. 😄 I like gifts more.

I like UW Sphinx Rev Tron :P
That's gifts!
I think gifts tron is better. It has more inevitability ({Celestial Colonnade} on top of Emrakul and friends), it is better against creature decks (because of the Wraths package), it can combo out of no where and practically end the game (thanks {Gifts Ungiven} and {Iona, Shield of Emeria}!) and it is better with card advantage (value {Gifts Ungiven}, {Sphinx's Revelation}, {Thirst for Knowlege}...). To paraphrase Luis Scott Vargas in one of his streams, "Blue Tron is a bad control deck that can be mediocre when you have Urzatron." Lastly RG Tron sucks, it is a bad combo deck that gets worse if you don't get Urzatron.

Monoblue feels more consistent to be, same with rg. Gifts is consistent, but as a gifts deck. Sure if you want to gifts and shut them down on turns 4-5, but it does not always feel like tron.
