Lifeline pod combo?
Commander Deck Help forum

Is there a non-infinite way to play birthing pod and get lifeline from my deck to the field somehow?

What I want is too do is tutor for pod and then have pod do the rest for me, also I'm not using red buc could add red to my deck, its four color atm.

I'd be really careful trying to run off on an idea like that, using two cards, especially when one is not your commander. I see what you're wanting to do there, and its a great synergy, but instead you should use it as a theme, and find as many other ways as you can to do the same thing, so you have some redundancy in the deck. Meren of Clan Nel Toth is a great choice, because she can be the commander and does what you want the deck to do. Lifeline is great, but a Naturalize or Disenchant ruins your day. What other plans do you have for the deck?

I allready built the deck but it is not online yet. It used to be just totor for pod, and then do a lot of stuff by sacing either tymna or thrasios to get derevi to untap pod to get felidar guirdian ect. It keeped winning with infinite deadeye navigator so I cut that, and then it was just the karmic guide/revilark combo, so I took out revilark. Now it just seems like a really durdly way to attack with a lot 3/Xs. I got lifeline for the deck and I was thinking about a way to use a pod chain to end with Rune-Scarred Demon and maybey get ghostway, cast it, tutor and untap the pod, get Eerie Interlude exile your things get 2 tutors, activate pod to get Peregrine Drake and play Lifeline and Viscera Seer. That doesn't exactly work though and It's very mana intensive. I wonder if there is an easier way to do something like this.

Remember that Lifeline's effect takes place "at the beginning of the next end step." I'm not sure if it can really go infinite in any way.

I want to AVOID going infinite, and I actually won earielr today by copying Lifeline with Mirage Mirror with zulaport cutthroat and a sac outlet in play, then on my end step changing the mirage mirror to be a copy of the cutthroat. I ended up draining 5 life for each creature I controlled and winning on my end step as I controlled like 8 creatures. It was a 1v1 game with little interaction and I drew into both lifeline and pod.

Lifeline, Birthing Pod
If you are just looking to get them both out quickly use an overabundance of tutors. So you need green for pod and black is the best tutoring color, Demonic Tutor and Diabolic Tutor for starters. Something golgari should work really well. Meren of Clan Nel Toth is great with pod and reduces the need for something like Lifeline.
