Simple question,is Yisan, the Wanderer Bard a good creature for a pod deck or is he a waste of a slot for a better creature?
That's what I was thinking,I could see him being useful by getting out other creatures to pod off but like you said,I'm sure there are better 3 drops.

pod wants creatures with etb and ltb effects so they can pod into and out of them where if you pod ur only creature into a yisan you cant go furthewr up the chain

Yisan, Wanderer Bard is terrible in Modern. It dies to any removal in the format, takes way too long to get going, is way more costly to use than Pod, and doesn't give you the sacrificing benefits. It's also slower than Pod and doesn't let you get a creature with the CMC you want - it only goes up by one each time. Don't use him.

Yisan is great to make a Pod style EDH deck with, nothing else.

He's more of a Birthing Pod knock-off than a creature Birthing Pod wants having. There are plenty more 3 drops that Pod wants to run in its stead.
