Yesterday on I'm looking for cards like …

1 year ago

As a deckbuilding challenge, I'm trying to build a deck that includes viable lines for every one of the Birthing Pod-like cards.

Are there any that I've missed?

• Birthing Pod
• Enigmatic Incarnation
• Evolving Door
• Hibernation's End
• Instrument of the Bards
• Oswald Fiddlebender
• Prime Speaker Vannifar
• Pyre of Heroes
• Vivien on the Hunt
• Yisan, the Wanderer Bard

Also I guess these, too.

• Eldritch Evolution
• Neoform

I'm not looking for things like Reshape, where I can control the mana value of the chosen permanent by paying extra.

Thanks in advance!

Birthing Pod has been an amazing card in my Kenrith deck. Budget decks can switch it with Prime Speaker Vannifar although i’m using both.

Guerric on Who are the Commanders you …

As for commanders I enjoy playing against, definitely Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis. You won't have a problem with cards or mana, which are usually the things that make a game of commander less fun.

As for ones I hate, obviously any stax commander- leave that oppression for cEDH where it belongs. Nekusar, the Mindrazer is also pretty annoying. We'll just kill him into oblivion, but we'd rather play our own decks. Same goes for Prime Speaker Vannifar and any other failed cEDH commander that people just try to combo off with in regular commander. Again, we'll kill and counter your commander a lot and you won't get to have fun, but neither will we. Either go to the big leagues or learn how to build a good deck for regular commander.

I've always liked Blood Pod, and was wondering if there were other ways to build around Birthing Pod. Well, I have now found Blue Pod. I really like this list and the interactions with the normal Felidar Guardian line, along with Karmic Guide. The Prime Speaker Vannifar line was not one I was expecting for some reason, even though I own the card. I guess it never clicked in my head that she's just Birthing Pod on a stick, essentially.

I dont know if this thread is still active but I think Birthing Pod should have its own Hub, If you call it something generic like 'Pod' it will also apply to other cards like Prime Speaker Vannifar, Fiend Artisan and Oswald Fiddlebender

Build the the average Prime Speaker Vannifar then take out Intruder Alarm and replace it with Simic Ascendancy.
That should put you right were your describing.

Harbinger69 on Non-Combo Vannifar

Like the title states, I've been wanting to build Prime Speaker Vannifar, but playing the same combo every game seems both too string and exceedingly boring. However, I want keep a combo-y feel to the deck and make it feel distinctly Simic without fully committing to the pod combo. I'm fine with a pod wincon, but I want the deck to do other cool things besides try to get the pod combo off the whole game. Any suggestions welcome!
