Creature (1)


Pitch: What if, a lightning-fast combo deck, but with Blue mana for cheap interaction and protection? Welcome to the world of Blue Pod.

Two main combos are Dockside Extortionist and Barrin, Master Wizard, which, provided your opponents have enough artifacts, makes infinite mana, which you dump into Thrasios, Triton Hero to draw your whole deck. From there, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker copies one of the many untappers an infinite number of times. Might put Thassa's Oracle in here soon, why not?

Key engines include Prime Speaker Vannifar, Birthing Pod, Survival of the Fittest and Spellseeker plus Neoform.

The rest of the deck is fast mana, tutors and interaction/protection.

This is my current build. To optimize it, I'd pick up 0-drop mana rocks like Mana Crypt or Chrome Mox and improve the counterspells a little.

Suggestions

Updates Add

Cuts: Thragtusk,Mulldrifter,Mystic Snake: While cute, these weren't very effective, and were slower than the deck wants to be at this point.

Chaos Warp: Too niche to run 2 of this effect not on a creature.

Shalai, Voice of Plenty,Deceiver Exarch,Restoration Angel,Nissa, Vastwood Seer  Flip: These cards, while good, were just inferior versions of cards that were already in the deck, and the redundancy was unnecessary. Some were also replaced with upgrades.

Upgrades: Wall of Blossoms: Cantrip creatures are nice, so are early-game blockers.

Fire Imp: Wanted a bit more interaction, having a shock at CMC 3 is nice for Pod.

Arbor Elf, Fyndhorn Elves, Llanowar Elves: I don't like mana dorks, but I wanted to up the one-drop count, and Green is the main color of the deck.

Torch Courier: Mainly here to give Vannnifar and Twin targets haste.

Genesis + Spore Frog : Genesis pairs well with Survival, and Fog Frog gets to tag along for now as a safety measure.

Corridor Monitor: This is the big one. With Monitor, Pod + any 1-drop is a win with enough mana/life. 1-drop into monitor, untap pod, get Pestermite, untap pod, get Felidar, flicker pod, get Karmic Guide, reanimate Felidar, flicker Pod, get Kiki, copy Karmic Guide, reanimate Felidar, flicker Kiki, win. Takes a total of 5 pod activations.
