Pod is an interesting cEDH archetype. There's Blood Pod, which is a stax and hatebears type deck with several varients (including my Ghave version). Blood Pod doesn't have much access to counterspell protection, so going for combo first is usually the wrong play.

Blue pod is different. With access to Blue, podding creatures is just a means to get the combo. This particular version foregoes red in favor of black. Though we lose Kiki and Stranglehold, we gain so much more.

Win-condition is currently the compact combo of Devoted Druid + Vizier of Remedies. With Thrasios, this means we can draw our deck and put all the lands into play tapped. Win with Finale of Devastation or Walking Ballista. Alternatively, Laboratory Maniac + Demonic Consultation. I prefer these lines over Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter because those pieces are harder to get in Pod.
