Elemental Pod (Help Wanted) (Modern MTG Deck)

So this is my more competitive Cinders deck. The idea came from the toying around with options for searching the deck. And then it hit me- Birthing Pod! This card is great for moving the field. As well, Incandescent Soulstroke works just as well, letting me drop bombs for almost free with Smokebraider .

I'd love some feed back on this deck. Cards i should run, drop, run more of... Fire away!

Also, I've started to dissect all the cards in my 75 on my tumblr, so feel free to drop on by that (same name) and give feed back there if you prefer!

Main focus:The first step is to drop out Smokebraider , and Incandescent Soulstroke to bring out bigs cheap. Fauna Shaman is used to cycle my hand for Soulstroke to do its job, like dropping Doomgape for free. Next step, bring out the big monsters, like Nova Chaser and Doomgape. These guys serve two purposes: one, they're a threat on the board, drawing attention from me to them, and two, Fling and Rite of Consumption . Big damage and lots of life. This is the main wincon.

Wincons:1) Ashenmoor Liege + Incandescent Soulstroke pumping-2) Fling + Rite of Consumption -3) Doomgape + Nova Chaser

Edit

So after some more play testing, I decided to take some notes from more competitive pod decks, and tweak my creature count. I added Kitchen Finks and found out that this is a really crucial card. As well, i added Bloodshot Cyclops as a living fling. One card I'm toying with the notion of adding is Murderous Redcap for a 4 drop with the diversity of Kitchen Finks. Fauna Shaman adds value to my hand, lets me pick and choose my hand value, or reset after being hit with cards like Duress or thoughtsieze.
