I made this Abzan Nic-Fit deck which I made for funzies while still make it a bit competitive. What do you guys think? Leave suggestions and upvotes. Helps out a lot.

Never a fan of the combo aspect of Pod/Evolution. I always preferred a more abstract-toolbox variant searching for anything my opponents throws at me. I do think I should rid the Strangleroot for another Voice, but a play set is going a bit extreme. Who knows. Thanks

No Griselbrand as that spicy, spicy Whip of Erebos target? Disciple of Bolas, Orzhov Pontiff, and Restoration Angel could also go a long way.
I'd also up the mana dork count to at least 8. Probably more Noble Hierarchs and Wall of Roots. You don't have Veteran Explorer in Modern like you do in Legacy, so you're on the Eldritch Evolution/Chord of Calling plan every time. That means you'll almost always want 3 mana on turn 2, or setting up a large Chord of Calling on turn 3.

Fun depends on what you like to play! I think it certainly seems competitive--not t1 or someone would be playing it already, but I can see tier two. I do think you might be better served adding the Archangel of Thune / Spike Feeder combo in there, mostly because you want to be able to threaten a t3-4 win in modern with good draws even if you have interaction and value. You only lose one slot, really, since Archangel is a fine value drop.
I also feel like you could use more Eldritch Evolution targets; why not a playset of Voice of Resurgence? Great to sac, even better to just sit on the board and annoy all the Jeskai control players! I think it's a strict upgrade to Strangleroot Geist at least. I can't imagine many matchups where you're playing the aggressive angle.
Here's a theoretical Angel Pod deck I'd been working on, but haven't built yet, in case you're interested in slotting in the combo: Angel Pod, Evolved
You can obviously change it to have more of the value/fit angle you were going for, but I think it's a cool shell. :)
