This deck relies on tutors and a solid creature base to control the board state until we can set off one of our combos.

Combos included:

The two main Birthing Pod combos with Melira, Sylvok Outcast, sans Birthing Pod

The short combo:

Ghave, Guru of Spores + Geralf's Messenger+Ashnod's Altar= Infinite life drain, infinite ETB/LTB triggers, and infinite 1/1 Saproling tokens

The fun combo:

Ghave, Guru of Spores+Avenger of Zendikar/Grave Titan+Mikaeus, the Unhallowed+Ashnod's Altar= Infinite tokens, infinite ETB/LTB triggers, infinite colorless mana

There's obviously more shenanigans, and all the cards here are here to induce shenanigans. A lot of combos don't even need Ghave, Guru of Spores, but his shenanigans get out of control.

Looking to remove cards until we get down to 100, and suggestions are always welcome! Land base is pretty solid though.
