pod pod

POD: Planet of Death (titled simply POD in North America) is a futuristic racing game for Windows released by Ubi Soft in 1997. The game is set in the distant future on the planet Io. A mining accident unleashes a fungus[1] from within the planet on its inhabitants, causing widespread panic. After most of the population escapes the planet, a few survivors remain on Io, with only one ship remaining. The survivors soup up cars which they race in tournaments, the winner of the final tournament taking the last ship and escaping to safety, leaving the others to die. The music was produced by Daniel Masson.[2]

Plan A Show

This deck is off to the races once Vannifar and a creature you can sacrifice are in play. Then, your goal is to get to an eight-cost creature and then pod Protean Hulk for the win. There are cards to get you there on the same turn you started but it is not guaranteed. The sticking points are finding a way to untap again when you get to a 5-cost creature and then again for podding the hulk at the end.

Here are the cards that will achieve untaps for you at each CMC:
1: Teardrop Kami, Quirion Ranger
2: Scryb Ranger
3: Bounding Krasis, Deceiver Exarch
4: Breaching Hippocamp
5: None. Things to try: Disciple of the Ring, Chakram Retriever, Body Double, Peregrine Drake
6: Great Oak Guardian, Woodland Bellower (targeting Bounding Krasis)

At 7 CMC you get Protean Hulk. When it dies, you win with Pili-Pala, Grand Architect, and Walking Ballista.

Tricks!!
There are several tricks to help you get over CMC 5 and 7 on the same turn.
You can get Peregrine Drake for your 5-drop if you have Minamo, School at Water's Edge and Wirewood Lodge.
There is also Chakram Retriever which is helpful for untapping if you have anything in your hand you can cast.

Otherwise, going infinite is the only way around this hurdle quickly without passing the turn.

Going Infinite Show

Going infinite is a decent backup strategy for executing the protean hulk strategy. You can achieve infinite untaps with Thornbite Staff or Intruder Alarm and there are many, many tutors in the deck to help you get them. You can also achieve infinite untaps with Deadeye Navigator, Peregrine Drake, and either Minamo, School at Water's Edge or Wirewood Lodge.

The tutor lines to get these are complex since there are so, so many tutors in the deck. Easiest way is remember you can pod Spellseeker to get you started. The general idea is get one of the cards with transmute and then transmute for the combo piece you need. A quick look will show there are tons of ways to get these into your hand from the deck.

1 CMC: Dizzy Spell --Transmute--> Expedition Map --> Minamo, School at Water's Edge
2 CMC: Muddle the Mixture --Transmute--> Thornbite Staff
3 CMC: Drift of Phantasms --Transmute--> Intruder Alarm

Plan B Show

If the combo pieces for Plan A are removed, plan B is to lock the board down hard then win with combat in a vaccuum.
It's a Deadeye Navigator win and it is ugly.
Combine with Venser, Shaper Savant to bounce all permanents (including lands).
Use the above section to go infinite with Vannifar and get all the creatures in the deck podded out.
You can loop Eternal Witness with Deadwood Treefolk and get all the creatures from your graveyard and back into play.

Winning this way is slower and more painful for the opponents, but that is why it is plan B.
