The deck's theme is to have as explosive a start as possible followed by reanimating or using Birthing Pod to land threats on the field with a plethora of tools to answer crazy things in EDH. Opponents ramping too much? Realm Razer ! Etc.

(Deck is not designed to be competitive and I'm allergic to old borders and shit art so I'm not running some cards people deem to be good.)

Birthing Pod:

The secret general of this deck. Here's a quick Pod "pyramid" to illustrate how it works in my deck.

Game plans:

The deck can operate in different ways and isn't purely reliant on Birthing Pod. I can either go with:

1) The obvious Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Deceiver Exarch - Birthing Pod plan.

OR

2) Beat-down with Sword of Fire and Ice and Umezawa's Jitte

OR

3) Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek if I have excess mana. Gets out of hand with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite or Garruk Wildspeaker's ultimate.

OR

4) If I get really lucky, Entomb + Animate Dead on turn 1 something huge like Avacyn, Angel of Hope and win out of sheer advantage.

OR

5) Gain infinite life with Zuran Orb + Faith's Reward + Dimir House Guard + Eternal Witness.

OR

6) Lockdown with Cyclonic Rift + Realm Razer .

OR

7) Reveillark + Body Double + Dimir House Guard to infinitely recur something. Like Karmic Guide into a Rune-Scarred Demon to tutor anything you want and finish the game.

OR

8) Saffi Eriksdotter + Reveillark + Dimir House Guard to do pretty much the same thing as above.

OR

7) One sided board wipe with Sudden Spoiling + Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite.
