I disassembled my RDW deck cuz everyone's playing naya or gruul aggro, which means I can't do much now. Now I run dimir midrange

Gruul Aggro seems to currently be filling the role of RDW. Burning-Tree Shaman alone is a very nice reason to do so. Turn 1 Stromkirk Noble , Turn 2 Burning-Tree Shaman to Lightning Mauler is five damage hitting on turn 2 with six lined up for turn 3 and probably a hand with a few burn spells in it. Tough to beat for slow decks; by the time you have any wrath mana, you're dead.

@KrazyCaley: and by Burning-Tree Shaman , you mean Burning-Tree Emissary .

Goddamn it, I ALWAYS do that. Yes, Burning-Tree Emissary . The flavor text on Emissary always screws me up.

I may try that actually thanks :) then may I ask for a good gruul list by chance?

You'll still see mono-RDW take down or at least make showings at MTGO events, but it's been pretty absent from higher level events since it's neither fast nor resilient as other aggro decks these days.
Here's the listing of RDW, and variations, that have won recently.
