Ach Hans, Run! It's the Splinterfright!

Hi there! I made a birthing pod/splinterfright deck and I'm having difficulty deciding on a 4 drop! I figure the best choices are either: Thrun, Lumberknot, or Dungeon Geists. I really like Dungeon Geists, but the fact that I'd be saccing them kinda negates their purpose. I like Lumberknot, but I feel that it might be a bit useless that late in my game (deck tends to be pretty fast + I'd be saccing it anyhow). Thrun is a decent pick, but the Legend rule and all really prohibits any sort of flexibility. What do you guys think? My deck can be found at The Lhurgoyf's New Clothes

IMO best 4 drops for pods are typically Phyrexian MetamorphMTG Card: Phyrexian Metamorph or Solemn SimulacrumMTG Card: Solemn Simulacrum. But you can run 1 or 2 thrun and still be alright

Honestly, the deck is better ran R/G thanks to and Grim LavamancerMTG Card: Grim Lavamancer (for late game reach). Check this out.

Huntmaster is probably the best, and a lot of pod decks are running 4 of him.

I've moved The Lhurgoyf's New Clothes into R/G with splash blue, I think it is much more aggressive now. I'm looking into adding . Phyrexian MetamorphMTG Card: Phyrexian Metamorph also essentially gives me 8 SplinterfrightMTG Card: Splinterfrights, as well as having a variety of other functions.
