Birthing Pod Kiki-Jiki + Zealous Conscripts combo

The goal of the deck is to grab Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Zealous Conscripts and/r Deceiver Exarch for a classic KikiCombo.

The deck is designed to Pod Birthing Pod out the two, with Thrasios, Triton Hero as a 2 drop, and Vial Smasher the Fierce at 3. The chain is work in progress, but the key is that 3 and 4 drops have to remain strong choices with our commanders already offering themselves as possible first sacs. 1 drops need work (read: more dorks to ramp fast) and 2 drops just need to be a small selection of good options: Fauna Shaman acts as tutor when a reanimation spell is in hand (Postmortem Lunge and Stitch Together), Corridor Monitor for part of the chain, etc.

I'm aware what the deck is lacking: protection, more efficient answers, an actually good pod chain, probably Imperial Recruiter. So far that's just going to have to be made up for in raw value since I'm poor - ignore that cost this is built out of what I have.

P.S. One may ask why snow lands? Well the answer is simple: because I can. Will I run snow utility? No. I will not - until I see reason to. I just like the snow lands and happen to acquire a bunch in all these colors but not enough for mono or dual colored decks so they live here.
