If you were to build 3 decks to cover the meta games of modern what would they be? I don't expect 1 deck to cover everything, but maybe a deck to handle combo metas, a deck to handle midrange, etc.
In a nutshell Modern is like a game of rock paper scissors. You have BG/x > Combo (Formerly Twin) > Tron/big mana > BG/x. You want some decks that fall into this triangle, so I would suggest a combination of:
- Jund/Junk
- Infect (Maybe even fast decks like Burn or Affinity)
- Bant Eldrazi/RG Titan Valakut decks

I have
Temur Delver

At the moment. Do these 3 cover most metagames?
The polar opposite of Temur Delver is Jund. Between those two decks you should have game against almost everything but Bant Eldrazi, which both sucks against.

This looks great, but I`d put RG Tron in the third slot. Eldrazi is a better allround deck, but RG Tron does the rock/paper/scissor thing better.
I honestly wish you could give this a rest. It`s not remotely the best deck in the format no matter how often you repeat it, jokingly or not, and your post is doing the exact opposite of what the OP is asking for, just to toot your own horn. What`s the use?

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

It's called letting shrewd people know about a little known meta assassin deck. If you know about it and don't like it then it doesn't apply to you, and makes it pointless for you to even reply. But no, I won't be stopping. Sorry (not really).
Please keep it on topic people. People are allowed to think X deck kills the meta, and people are allowed to use data to disprove it. Just state your reasoning and move on. No need to troll or flame please.

What do you want to do with these decks? Are we talking Friday Night Magic, or are do you want to win at a much larger tournament? There are also some different aspects to come into play here in how to approach builds and sideboard strategies as well as deck overlap. There are also what is called "flex decks" where you can flex say Grixis to Nahiri Jeskai easily or Abzan into Jund and back.
I would look at the top tier one cards right now and reflect what you have in your collection and budge first. Then look at the larger historic decks. Jund, Affinity, and Burn are typically tier 1. I'd try out some of the tier 1 decks first, then decide on what fits your play style. Just because Burn is Tier 1, doesn't mean you will like the deck.
What are you goals? Is this FNM or larger events?
What is your budget?

It's to cover FNM level events. I travel a lot so I will take decks with me to stores near where I work. So there's the random metagame aspect of this as well.
let me as a different question. I have:
Coco Elves
Temur delver
Grixis Delver
BW Tokens
Martyr-Proc Control
Which 3 would allow me to cover the most metagames?
The idea of flex decks is what I have going between Temur Delver and Grixis. As well as BW Tokens and Martyr-Proc.
I know, a lot of them are Tier 2 and 3, but I don't care. I have the cards and I can build them. The Tier 1 decks uses cards that are very niche (cards don't port to other decks) and are not very flexible.

I may be wrong here, but I feel like Grixis Delver, Martyr-Proc, and CoCo elves would be the best combination.
Grixis Delver is good vs combo decks with its heavy disruption from counterspells and discard, Martyr-Proc is good vs aggro decks (especially Burn, which Grixis Delver probably isn't that good against), and both get wrecked by Tron, which CoCo elves should be best against out of the options you listed. Not sure what you'd choose vs control out of all your options though, so that's something to consider.
