The deck's theme is to have as explosive a start as possible followed by reanimating or using Birthing Pod to land threats on the field with a plethora of tools to answer crazy things in EDH. Opponents ramping too much? Realm Razer! Etc.

(Deck is not designed to be competitive and I'm allergic to old borders and shit art so I'm not running some cards people deem to be good.)

Game plans:

The deck can operate in different ways and isn't purely reliant on Birthing Pod. I can either go with:

1) The obvious Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Deceiver Exarch - Birthing Pod plan.

OR

2) Beat-down with Sword of Fire and Ice and Umezawa's Jitte

OR

3) Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek if I have excess mana. Gets out of hand with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite or Garruk Wildspeaker's ultimate.

OR

4) If I get really lucky, Entomb + Animate Dead on turn 1 something huge like Avacyn, Angel of Hope and win out of sheer advantage.

OR

5) Gain infinite life with Zuran Orb + Faith's Reward + Dimir House Guard + Eternal Witness.

OR

6) Lockdown with Cyclonic RiftGC + Realm Razer.

OR

7) Reveillark + Body Double + Dimir House Guard to infinitely recur something. Like Karmic Guide into a Rune-Scarred Demon to tutor anything you want and finish the game.

OR

8) Saffi Eriksdotter + Reveillark + Dimir House Guard to do pretty much the same thing as above.

OR

7) One sided board wipe with Sudden Spoiling + Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite.
