I'm Overall aiming to get 1 of each archetype (combo, aggro, midrange and control) but can't decide after finishing midrange and aggro which of the remaining 2 to build first

Melira Pod is amazingly fun to play. It's a versatile, tier one deck. I bullt mine without Noble Hierarch due to cost, and actually had most of the deck due to playing the archetype when it was Standard. Plus it can be built over time, and most critters are relatively cheap, and with a few exceptions, are a one of. Pod is an excellent deck to tailor to any given meta.
I believe I have my list on my profile, for reference.

lol i thought i was the only person that did this. I like USA control...b/c it so easily switches to UW or UWR aggro / midrange...splinter twin... angel twin (kiki+ resto), UW gifts etc...

I built RDW, Melira Pod, Delver, Zoo, Junk, and Mill to be able to test and play with friends. I had a friend build Affinity and Living End. The games are fantastic, and decks are competitive enough to play at FNM. In any case, I concur with liking variety.

yep our play group does the exact same. One guy has 8 rack, soul sisters and UR delver. I have geist control (and parts to swap into above options), merfolk and faeries. rest of our group has jund, junk good stuff, twin, USA control, scapeshift and elves.

You could play scapeshift or UR twin and play control and combo at the same time

i have a blast playing faeries, I love playing tempo builds!! Disfigure, Spellstutter Sprite are very strong in current meta... and there is nothing boring about being able to maindeck 2 swords and batterskull!

I would say combo. Control has few options, but you can do quite a few different combo decks. You have more options.
