My personal take on the latest incarnation of the old Birthing Pod combo deck.

I'm looking to make this build more aggressive & less combo focused than most of the existing lists, which is why I'm maindecking extra copies of Voice of Resurgence and Qasali Pridemage instead of slower things like Wall of Roots and Spellskite. I'm also trying out a copy of Liliana, Heretical Healer   over a third copy of Eternal Witness to give the deck more reach in grinding matches. I'd really like to find room for a Fulminator Mage, Abrupt Decay, or Path to Exile in the main, but I'm not sure what I should take out to make room.

I'll be putting this together and testing it out over the next few weeks, so any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Final results: 3-0-1

This was my first time piloting the deck in an actual event and I was able to draw into first without bringing a sideboard. It turns out that this deck is pretty strong even when piloted by a total scrub like myself. ; _ ;

Round 1 - vs. UB Thopter Tron - 2-1

Game 1 (win): I got off to a fast start (T1 birds, T2 voice and more birds, T3 company) and was able to put together the combo before my opponent could really do anything.

Game 2 (loss): I keep a hand with no mana dorks but a T2 voice, which ended up getting Remanded. As the game went on I got stuck with a lot of color-intensive creatures in hand, so I ended up playing one guy per turn as my opponent churned out tokens using Thopter Foundry. I eventually drew into a pridemage and chorded for a pontiff mid-combat to kill most of his dudes, but it only bought me a turn before I got run over.

Game 3 (win): I had another fast start and was able to stick a bunch of manadorks before my opponent could get his Condescends online. A mid-combat Hibernation bounced most of my creatures, but I was able to apply keep applying pressure thanks to a small anafenza and zombie token. The game ended on a kind of disappointing note though - on one hand, my opponent never found his 3rd tron land, which was unfortunate (he had a Mindslaver in hand that he couldn't afford to cast & activate), but on the other hand I missed a bunch of bolster triggers which would've allowed me to win the game a turn earlier.

Round 2 - vs. U(w) Fish - 2-0

Game 1 (win): between a Lord of Atlantis and Mutavault I got knocked to 10 life before I started to stabilize thanks to a voice, finks, and scooze. My opponent never saw any counterspells, so I was able to assemble the combo a couple of turns later, at which point he scooped.

Game 2 (win): my opponent drew 2 copies of Rest in Peace and a Path to Exile that he had brought in from his sideboard, but he never found a white source to cast them (apparently he was only running 5 white-producing lands in his whole deck, which seemed a little risky), so this game was basically a T4 goldfish on my end.

Round 3 - vs. Abzan Company (woo, mirror match!) - 2-0

Game 1 (win): I kept a slow hand with a T2 scooze while my opponent floods the field with dorks, a finks, and a seer, but before he could actually go for his combo I chorded for a pontiff and wiped his board. I decided to play it safe and chord for a big anafenza on the following turn to totally shut down his combo, from there it was only a couple of turns before I put together my own and he scooped.

Game 2 (win): I ended up playing in pretty much the opposite order as I did in game 1. I hit a big anafenza off of a T3 company, and on T5 after my opponent whiffed on a company of his own I wiped his board with 2 pontiff triggers.

Round 4 - draw

Me and my opponent decided to draw into 1st and 2nd so we could get some trading done. I picked up a Fulminator Mage and another Liliana, Heretical Healer Flip, so maybe I'll actually have a sideboard for next time...
