I love this deck; you just throw a smattering of everything at it and it works. Easy to modify, easy to sideboard.

Started as a G/B pod deck but after mediocre playtesting decided to make it a Bant pod. Then I saw that a very similar Naya pod made it into the pro-tour and I feel that many of the choices in that pod are better than the choices in this pod (Inf. Titan/Huntmaster). However, I'm determined not to succumb to playing a copy of that deck.

Any advice would be welcome!

Current Concerns:

+1 Mana?

-1 Hero of Bladehold for.. ?

CURSE YOU TOKEN DECKS — Feb. 21, 2012
Edit

They drive me insane. Went 2-2 at my shop last night:

Game 1: Red Deck Wins. Round 1 I was taken down to 3 life with the beatdown of RDW; however I was able to come back thanks to Sylvok Lifestaff and late-game removal. Round 2 I was mana fucked. Round 3 my opponent was mana-fucked and ended the game on turn 6 without a single permanent on the board after I Acidic Slime'd twice and then some.

Game 2: Mirror match against a Bant Pod that used Mimic Vat. While I like my deck as is, playing bant pod vs. Bant Pod that has Mimic Vat is very frustrating. Every game is just a race to Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Round 1, I got her out first and he couldn't recover. Round 2 he got her out first and I couldn't recover. Round 3, no one got her out and it was an attrition match where I had removed two mimic vats, both of our Dungeon Geists were on the board, and I barely came out on top.

Game 3: B/W token deck. Fuck. Round 1: he played 4 Lingering Souls, 3 flashed back, and 3 board enchantments. There was no recovering. Round 2: Sideboarded 9 cards against him, Nevermore in opening hand, Turn 2 Nevermore Lingering Souls. My opponent plays turn 2 Stony Silence (anticipating Ratchet Bomb and dealing with my pod). He plays 4 Gather the Townsfolk, 2 board enchantments, I'm overwhelmed. Frustrating match, coupled with some questionable shuffling methods by my opponent.

Game 4: Bant Solar Flareish deck. Young Wolves, Images, Mimic Vat, Sun Titans, Pods. Very frustrating match that I went 0-2 in. Playing against Mimic Vat as a pod deck is intensely rough; almost every move I made worked against me in some way. It also didn't help that the one Birthing Pod I played in those 2 games got O-Ringed twice and Acidic Slime'd once.

I'm left wondering if doing -1 Green Sun's Zenith and -2 Sylvok Lifestaff for +3 Mimic Vat would be worthwhile. I was very fond of Sylvok Lifestaff when I actually drew it, but Mimic Vat just ruined my day when playing against similar decks that used it and I didn't.
