Neoform is a lot more reusable than I would have thought. Sacrificing Derevi, Empyrial Tactician can grab Timeless Witness at 4 CMC With these lines, Derevi, Empyrial Tactician + Neoform can be any creature 4 or 5 mana.

My lines begin to fall apart jumping from 7 to 8. Not too sure what my curve-toppers should be, but at least one target at 8 seems like a good idea.

Wargate maybe gets replaced with Green Sun's Zenith eventually, but Wargate's ability to tutor up Birthing Pod is pretty sweet, as well as using it to grab bounce lands Azorius Chancery, Selesnya Sanctuary or Temple of the False God. Not sure where to make room for Glen Elendra Archmage, but I think the deck wants it.

Venser, Shaper Savant is here as a win-con with infinite ETBs (generated with Panharmonicon + Temple of the False God + Derevi, Empyrial Tactician + Eldrazi Displacer).; to bounce all permanents back to their owner's hands and keep a board lock for the win. The majority of the pod chains will start at 3 mana, so Venser being 4 cmc is really convenient.

Yavimaya Dryad is here rather than Wood Elves because my pod plays 2-Headed Giant frequently, but Wood Elves is almost always better.

I'm testing Phyrexian Vindicator here because I find myself wanting a threatening creature at 4. Wastes is here as a findable colorless land for more consistent Eldrazi Displacer activations.

There's a reanimation sub-theme throughout the deck with Karmic Guide, Reveillark, Vesperlark, Sun Titan, Body Double, Renegade Rallier. Reveillark and Vesperlark specifically want impactful cards with low power values like Prime Speaker Zegana or Hornet Queen. Flickering Vesperlark for a clone (Glasspool Mimic  | Phyrexian Metamorph | Body Double | Progenitor Mimic) that ETBs as Gruff Triplets or End-Raze Forerunners is HUGE.
