A cute little deck I've had for many years. I used to play it against my friends when we still played kitchen table mtg, but we've all switched to EDH now. I still use it every now and then, but I cant seem to take it apart, since it's the first deck I made that I felt proud about.

As it's name implies, the deck revolves around the value Birthing Pod generates. It's main wincon is either Sun Titan into Phantasmal Image shenanigans. Failing that, there's also the powerful lockdown of Academy Rector into Dovescape with an Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite in play.

The sideboard has an Enchanted Evening to make short work of problematic permanents. So instead of Academy Rector into Dovescape, it's Rector into Enchanted Evening, using Birthing Pod to get an Acidic Slime at the same time. With Enchanted Evening it's possible to also win the game with a Primeval Light .
