Skaab Ruinator : a 5/6 flying beast that you can Pod a Strangleroot Geist for, or cast quite easily later because the Pod fills your graveyard with creatures!

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite : Because every Pod deck should top out at the white Praetor... she simply spells G-A-M-E O-V-E-R. I think you should definitely mainboard her. She will hit the board, pretty often!

Myr Superion : When Silverblade Paladin s and Rancor ed stuff is hitting you hard, trade a mana dork for this li'l beauty for a solid bodyguard.

Vorapede : Trade me in for a Sun Titan and a Deadeye Navigator, or just use my incredible power to crush opponents while remaining on guard!

Woodland Sleuth : Pod into her and there's your Morbid activation...

I have two Mimic Vat s in my Naya Pod deck, and they always make me so happy. They also snag opponents' undying stuff before they can... un-die.

Well thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately the 3 drop slot for pod is jammed pack of better options as this deck's color pie almost looks like a butt in how it's sadly heavy into green and white almost evenly with a crack of blue that's mostly multicolored cards or phyrexian mana, as such to hard cast it the double blue is enough of a deterrent to not play it, not to mention aside form outside help it's literally impossible to hard cast on turn 2 or 3 anyway as the deck doesn't fill it's graveyard fast enough.

elesh norn is in the sideboard.

Myr Superion has no benefits beyond being a vanilla beater.

Vorapede is a good beater, but I'm already having trouble with trying to find room for a 3rd 5 drop creature and the triple green is a bit too steep for me to really consider as an option.

Woodland Sleuth is simply not a strong option in the 4 drop slot, quite often I want to keep most of my creatures in my graveyard because of Sun Titan and sometimes card:Angel of Glory's Rise post sideboard (mostly against zombies)

and Mimic Vat is also in my sideboard as it is pretty slow and I usually want to play the deck aggressively (hence why I have a good number of strong beaters with powerful offensive capabilities and/or removal evasion.)

I have been wanted to make a bant pod. I have been playing a Naya Pod for about 2-3 months now and this looks like a welcome change. +1!

Here is my deck deck:avacyn-pod-1

i dont know if you know this but HoB triggers all the exalted affects then pops out the 1/1 tokens

yeah same with Sir Traft, but (and the following is possibly just due to me reading your comment wrong) the tokens don't benefit from exaulted.

redfive used the wrong word, and a lack of punctuation, that's why it confused you... exalted doesn't AFFECT then pop out tokens... HoB triggers exalted EFFECTS, then pops out the tokens! The comma helps.
