A new tron idea

Could a tron deck featuring a Bearer of the Heavens + Greater Gargadon be at all practical?
The combo is sacking a lot of stuff including Bearer of the Heavens to reduce the time counters on Greater Gargadon down to 1 so the bearer's effect wipes the field and then you get a 9/7 haste on the next turn and there's nothing your opponent can do. If you can suspend + sac enough for 2 gargadon, then you're attacking for 18 haste damage when they have no lands or board presence. I think that's a pretty good combo. With the life loss from lands in modern, I think it could be a very good deck.
I think it would work best as 
because of a lot of the same cards used in the usual UrzaTron can benefit this version a lot. Perhaps this is just a budget version because of no Karn Liberated?
Here's my premature list, for reference: A new Tron has emerged...... It's not 60 cards or balanced yet, but it's getting there.

I was not aware of the Restore Balance combo, so thanks for sharing!
I guess Emrakul is more reliable ... but not on turn 5. I'm gonna try my idea just for kicks, but yeah, the standard GR tron will always be better.

Now I'm thinking that tron is the wrong way to go and that a normal ramp deck would be much better. Any thoughts?

First of all, there's already a list that runs Restore Balance with Greater Gargadon. It's not to put you down, but it might give you an idea or two.
And second of all, you COULD have a 9/7 with no board presence, but Emrakul tends to be more reliable.
