It was less than a year ago that people were complaining about the blue-based Hexproof decks and/or Delver. Blue has rarely played traditional aggro, but it continues to be just fine as a midrange/tempo/control color.
As for what the pros think...no, it doesn't matter. If you look at interviews of pros you will find that many of them are biased towards playing blue, so them complaining about it not being good enough isn't very meaningful.
that boils down to wotc inability to cope with the pros favorite strategies while dumbing down the game for casuals. blue and black have been neutered continually while straying far from nwo creature based interactions. otoh red and green keeps getting absurd creatures and spells while stealing blue and blacks color pie.
you still havent provided proper solutions to blue to fit in with other colors. why should it continue to be a color divided from the rest of the other colors? why should blue be relegated to a few archetypes, while other colors can play every archetype? whats the point of keeping blue like this if casuals keep complaining, despite endless hate cards against it?
hexproof is the result of wotc dumbing down the game to casuals. not the pros fault. shroud would never cause this ruckus. for every delver blue gets , other colors get 4 or 5 better creatures, easily.
