MetaTron (Modern MTG Deck)

Basically, I've been toying with the idea of building a mono blue Tron for a while now. When I saw Ugin, the Spirit Dragon I was overwhelmed with the need to find out how he would perform in U Tron.

So y'all know how U-Tron works. Your wincons are mostly Academy Ruins + Mindslaver to lock your opponent out of the game or an early Wurmcoil Engine with the occasional Platinum Angel panic button if you failed to control your opponents board via counters or Sundering Titan

Now. The mainboard slots typically given to boardwipe are usually filled by one or two Oblivion Stones. Thing is, I hate O-Stone. For no particular reason. I would just rather draw into a llanowar elf in a mono blue deck than draw into oblivion stone. Hence Ugin, the Spirit Dragon his first and second abilty ping annoyances into non-existance as well as board wipe while leaving my colourless creatures alive. His third ability pretty much adds another wincon to the deck, and I like having options. So overall I don't see how U-Tron wouldn't benefit from this guy.

Now for the sideboard.
Blightsteel Colossus In an affinity heavy meta, a lot of people sideboard a lot of artifact hate, and that can be pretty crippling. That's what this is for, you can side him in titan's slot.
Chalice of the Void is there pretty much exclusively to shut down splinter twin. Side them in the simulacrum slots and you have no 4 drops in the deck that chalice will interfere with.
Dismember for when you really need the extra removal. The Talisman of Dominances make this a little less harsh on yourself.
Echoing Truth and Ratchet Bomb are both to slow down aggro and tokens.
Pithing Needle is awesome flexible all around hate.
Relic of Progenitus is self explanatory graveyard hate. If you time it well, it can completely screw with Treasure Cruise which is always a laugh, not that that's relevant anymore.
Trickbind I'm not so sure about. If anyone has some good suggestions for this slot I'll be delighted to hear them.

So. Any thoughts? I'll be happy to hear them.

Edit

Well, I went and ran this in a modern tournament in a different gamestore, because hey, who sais no to more practice with a deck you enjoy?

Completely different meta. Went 2-1 here are the matchups:
2-0 vs. Bogle
2-0 vs. WB Tokens
0-2 vs. Bogle (seriously a full quarter of the players were running bogle. Mind boggling :p).

Well, all I can say is the more I play, the more it's looking good to add a pair of Spellskites to my sideboard. I just dunno what to cut. my first instinct would be to cut the ratchet bombs, but they're just too damn useful against boggle, tokens and affinity. I dunno. It's a tough call. Any ideas?
