Alright guys,
My homeboys still does CYOS once in a while since some of us are too poor for Legacy (and even Modern!). Though we still love the old cards we already have.
Anyways, I am brewing a Podcaster deck.
Podcaster is essentially a Birthing Pod ramp deck that uses Grand Architect to ramp. It's not the typical Pod deck in a sense that the deck can still function without Birthing Pod.
The deck was created by Kenny Oberg during Pro Tour Nagoya. The deck was originally for block constructed but I believed that if paired with Mirrodin, it can be faster and more effective.
Here is Kenny Oberg's original list:
5 Forest
4 Inkmoth Nexus
15 Island
2 Phyrexia's Core
1 Entomber Exarch
4 Grand Architect
3 Kuldotha Forgemaster
1 Myr Battlesphere
3 Phyrexian Metamorph
4 Silver Myr
4 Spellskite
4 Treasure Mage
2 Vedalken Certarch
1 Wurmcoil Engine
4 Birthing Pod
1 Contagion Engine
1 Mindslaver
1 Spine of Ish Sah
My current list is actually my 'post rotation' Standard list. Heres how it looks like:
4 Buried Ruins
15 Island
5 Forest
3 Acidic Slime
1 Blightsteel Colossus
4 Grand Architect
1 Kuldotha Forgemaster
3 Perilous Myr
2 Phyrexian Metamorph
2 Solemn Simulacrum
4 Spellskite
3 Treasure Mage
1 Trinket Mage
2 Wurmcoil Engine
4 Birthing Pod
1 Elixir of Immortality
1 Mindslaver
4 Ponder
My current dilemma is what other Block should i use? I was thinking of Mirrodin block since its an artifact deck and there could be a lot of artifacts that I can use from that block. Grand Architect would be great on that, as well as having tutor targets for Birthing Pod. Also, I am thinking of utilizing Trinket Mage and packages such as AEther Spellbomb.
Any suggestions are welcome.
