goal, an aggressive bant pod deck that can post sideboard into a bant control deck.

suggestions and comments are welcome, as are +1's.

currently all of the cards in this deck are being tested, out of them I'm keeping an eye out for these to see if they perform well.

Knight of Glory : this so far has interacted quite well with a pod strategy, but there are a good number of 2 drops that are also very good.

Hero of Bladehold : this has always been a beast whenever I've seen one of her attacking, but in playtests I'm starting to consider Sublime Archangel instead as I'm often just swinging with one creature anyway. Now after a more recent playtest I've found hero to be more amazing than I thought hero could ever be. Turn 1 bird, turn 2 pod, turn 3 hero, turn 4 pod bird for image on hero and cast another image and swing for 7, turn 5 SUPER GREEDY WIN!

Sigarda, Host of Herons: Possibly my favorite card from AVR and one of the better cards to tron up, but I can't help but think I'd rather have her as a Thragtusk (if I owned one...)

Geist-Honored Monk: In recent playtesting I'm finding I may need a 3rd 5 drop and am somewhat considering this creature as it can do very well against delver.

Deadeye Navigator : in theory this should be very good, powering me a stalled or somewhat behind board position with it's flicker effects.
