More specifically m15 and ktk not including fetchlands what are the cards that can be used in pod

No, it's really not. With all the Ornithopter /Ensoul Artifact decks and enchantments in Standard (Auras and Courser of Kruphix , anyone?), there's no reason not to be running one in the main.

Abzan Falconer seems good for a 3 drop. Especially with Gavony Township that normally gets put in pod decks. Same with Ainok Bond-Kin for the same reasons.
Anafenza, the Foremost seems like a good way to make finks lose his -1/-1 counters and hose some graveyard shenanigans.
Grim Haruspex seems good as card draw. Eh.
Siege Rhino seems like it's pushing the right buttons for pod.
There's more I'm just tired.

Whenever a new set comes out, there's always a creature that people will be like "This guy is playable in Melira Pod!" It very rarely is. This time around, I'm not so sure that that will hold true. There are cards that look good but almost certainly suck, and there are some legitimate creatures to be trying.

I'm really liking the "surprise win" that can come from the falconer.
Your EoT Gavony Township . My turn, pod off any random 2 drop, get Falconer, everything that I just put counters on has flying, swing in the air.
Kind of niche, I'll admit, but the ability to just run a 1-of that can give your whole team flying ala Archetype of Imagination is kinda awesome.
His brothers are decent in their own right as well, particularly the Abzan Battle Priest doing the same thing with lifelink could keep you in the game if your Finks get gone.
Dunno though.

It seems too situational to me. Outside of that, the creatures are pretty shitty, and you aren't guaranteed to have Gavony Township in play by any means.
I'd only really be considering Anafenza, the Foremost and Siege Rhino . Anafenza is amazing in the mirror and has a solid board presence, while the Rhino is just a great rate. If you watched the SCG Open today, you'd know that there's a deck in Standard that they're calling "Abzan Rates".

Run a singleton Reclamation Sage .
Seriously, I saw a mono green deck die earlier today literally because he couldn't Chord anything in to stop an Aqueous Form .
