First draft of a Bant Birthing Pod deck for Canadian Highlander. The deck aims to play a disruptive 'Hatebears' aggro game with access to two 1 card combos enablers in Yisan, the Wanderer Bard and Birthing Pod. Both combos are capable of killing on the spot under certain conditions (outlined further in the description of the combo lines). This lets our deck attack more midrange and controlling strategies on multiple different axes while not giving ground to more aggressive decks. While this deck could easily be just GW, I decided to add blue as it helps speed our Pod lines up an entire CMC as well as give us access to powerful disruption creatures in Reflector Mage and Spell Queller. Our points are allocated to one of our combo pieces, tutors for said combo pieces, as well as the powerful Stoneforge-Jitte package to back our 'fair' games.

- Birthing Pod - 3
- Stoneforge Mystic - 1
