I started out wanting to build around Birthing Pod. That put me into green. I realized the best 187 guys were in black, white, and blue so those got added. I then decided to include Squee. Fortunately for me Child of Alara works interestingly with Birthing Pod.

Currently debating on cutting the shock lands for 1 of each basic land type and possibly man lands. Living Death looks weak a lot of games I've played so far. Haven't drawn Cruel Ultimatum yet, so no comment there. Most of the creatures have earned a spot so far. Harmonic Sliver and Birds of Paradise want slots, but I'm not 100% on where. Probably Indrik Stomphowler as well (need more 5 drops). Totally open to suggestions.
