This deck was a fun challenge I gave myself, build a 4 color deck, but only use basics as the lands. I chose to do a birthing pod style deck because the deck doesn't need too much color fixing once the engine gets going. The deck is capable of winning pretty quickly, and almost can always do it in one turn. The main pod chain is:

3 drop --> Felidar Guardian, untap pod --> Karmic Guide, get back Felidar Guardian, untap pod --> Reveillark, get back Karmic Guide and a 2 power creature --> win however you like.

So as you can see the deck only needs Ashnod's Altar, a 3 drop creature and Birthing Pod to combo off. You can draw you deck with Thrasios, Triton Hero and mill them with Gonti, Lord of Luxury. Or you can fetch any creature in your deck, usually Protean Hulk, sac it to the altar and get Zulaport Cutthroat/ Blood Artist to kill everyone. Even if the pod plan fails the deck is full of good creatures so you can win with creature beats. Which is when Ravos, Soultender comes into play, letting you grind your opponents out in the long game.
