Business-Casual Blood Pod

I started building this deck as my version of a casual blood pod deck. It's still casual as far as cEDH is concerned, but I like to refer to it as Business-Casual. It can win, but it can also be stopped.

It uses Birthing Pod, Protean Hulk, Fauna Shaman, Demonic Tutor, Green Sun's Zenith, Eldritch Evolution, and Enlightened Tutor to find my toolbox pieces or combos.

How it kills:

Combo 1

This deck runs a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker package with Felidar Guardian and Zealous Conscripts. I went with these two because they both untap birthing Pod. I believe the fastest this deck can win uninterrupted is T4 using a Mana Dork, Birthing Pod, and 4 lands.

T1: Land + Mana Dork or GSZ for Dryad Arbor

T2: Land, Tymna

T3: Land, Tana

T4: Land, Spend 3 of your 5 available mana + 2 life on Birthing Pod, Pod Tymna paying 1 + 2 life into Felidar Guardian, blink Pod, Pod Tana paying your last mana from your mana dork + 2 life into Kiki-Jiki.

Combo 2

Blood Artist or Purphoros, God of the Forge.

If a win through combat is not possible, we can win with these guys. Kiki-Jiki already makes infinite bodies, so with Blood Artist, we just need Viscera Seer. There is also Saffi Eriksdotter with Sun Titan or Renegade Rallier,

Combo 3

'Hoof em dead. Not a combo at all. Just Craterhoof Behemoth doing what he does.

Notes

We have many ways of disrupting graveyard combos, punishing noncreature decks, recurring our stuff, blowing up their stuff, hating on artifacts, drawing cards, protecting our pieces, and even Disrupt Decorum (one of my favorite cards out of C17).

Shalai, Voice of Plenty and Grand Abolisher are probably two very important pieces of the deck. Protean Hulk only sits below Craterhoof on the CMC bar, everything else 6 or less. And he can grab Saffi, Renegade Rallier, and Viscera Seer (among other things).

The mana base needs a little work, but I just went for maximum fetchables minus ABUR duals. We really want our lands to come in untapped, but it is also meant to be played in a slightly casual meta.
