Hey, guys, it's been a while. I was wondering what new decks have emerged/disappeared/powershifted in the meta since eye was banned. Thanks!!
No deck is above 10% meta share though so it's all really variable right now. Like the top 8 decks in the meta only make up around 40% of the meta so it changes often because there's no deck that's like easy and clearly the best.
*also, by saying affinity isn't doing too well, I mean it's like not in the top 3 decks which is pretty uncommon for modern.

I second what Chief said. Mardu seems to be picking up a little following recently. Nahiri has helped push it into the 1.5 range. I played it yesterday to a 3-1 finish locally. A few tweaks and I think it will be ready.
I highly doubt anything gets banned with the new update. I would REALLY love to see something come off the list. Unfortunately it won't be Bloodbraid with Jund @ 9% of the meta and trending upwards.
All in all, Modern is in a wonderful place with many strategies completely viable. Dredge and Living End are gaining momentum recently as well.

control (just modernized) was making a showing before Nahiri stole the show.

Not too much. Nahiri Jeskai kind of became a thing. It's a solid deck. Jeskai Control with Nahiri in it.
Affinity isn't doing very well, which is nice.
