Brewing to turn a potential real strategy into a hot steamy bowl of Sichuan chicken turned up to eleven.
A less meme-tastic list can be found here: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/scarab-pod-nic-fit/

Scarab Pod is a Nic Fit style list designed to ramp faster than our opponent and crank hot value out of Birthing Pod, ideally with The Scarab God to fetch high powered 6-drops over and over again. If we need to apply pressure Carnage Tyrant can force its way through most board states. Need to stabilize the board, Massacre Wurm deals with True-Name Nemesis, Delver of Secrets  , Deathrite Shaman, etc. Want to slow down your opponent, Keiga, the Tide Star can trip up you opponent's ability to get through favorably. I don't know about you guys, but I can't spell spicy without P-R-A-E-T-O-R. Sheoldred, Whispering One is the pinnacle of our value-town. Recurring out all our previously sacrificed creatures, she is impossible to win against unanswered. In the event you draw your hottest cards prematurely, we run a playset of Brainstorm to shuffle them away.

Sideboard:
Delver: Toxic Deluge, Abrupt Decay, Notion Thief?
Miracles: Force of Will, Notion Thief, Engineered Explosives, Pithing Needle, Trinket Mage
4-color nonsense: Flusterstorm, Force of Will, Notion Thief
D&T: Engineered Explosives, Pithing Needle, Trinket Mage, 1-2Toxic Deluge, Pernicious Deed, Reclamation Sage?
Stompy: Force of Will, Reclamation Sage, Toxic Deluge?
Turbo Depths: Force of Will?

Note*: I don't actually own this deck, and this is all speculation based on the in-app testing I've done. Looking back, Keiga, albeit spicy, seems underwhelming and I would probably remove it for something better. Also, the most notable card missing from this list is Recurring Nightmare, and if I were to take this to a tournament, I would try to shove 1-2 somewhere in the list. Also also, I didn't even think of Leovold, Emissary of Trest when designing this list and I may try to shove him in the sideboard as well.
