[KntrellCL]

Ive been playing a lot of Nic fit variants, mavericks, aggro loam, etc... and I saw this Knigh Pod on the PT stream that I really really liked.

The deck has a lot of creatures good on their own and creatures that has greats sinergy with Pod... Reliquary gives us a good toolbox on lands and depths stage combo. Pod gives us another toolbox along with GSZ, with another mini combo of Thune Feeder (I used to play kitchen finks but I always felt underwhelming, Persist is greats when you can connect it, but most of the times it can get exiled against opposing DRS) so, changing finks for feeder and having the posibility of thune combo was just nuts.

I think the deck is unfinished, but has great potential

Noway you beat combo
=> no reason to play the deck.
Losing to storm+show and tell+elf makes the deck invalid.

You don't have enough disruption ;
no counters no discard.

Sounds pretty judgemental without having seen his current SB. He himsself claims the deck ain't finished yet, so calling it invalid from the beginning is pretty harsh.

Im so sorry for not writting the sb. I know combo is a bad match up and thats why Im playing BG with W.... white is pretty good against combo...

My current sb staples:

4 Thoughtseize
3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
1 Ethersworn Canonist
1 Bojuka Bog
3 Pernicious Deed*
1 Murderous Redcap
1 Qasali Pridemage
1 Life from the Loam

Im a loam players (lands, aggro loam, etc) so Im pretty used to play a good MD against fair decks and heavy anti combo SBs... putting 4 Thoughtseize main wasnt giving me that many matchs either... so I just assume to beat combo game 2 and 3. In fact, green gives you the pressure, white gives you hatebears, black gives you disruption... so I think you can tune good enough a junk deck against a combo meta. Playing your own combos isnt that bad either... you can put a marit lage turn 3 and swing on turn 4 (t1 drs, t2 stage + kotr, t3 marit lage) i know... dreaming is free hahaha

1 Karakas 4 Knight already gives him 4 maindeck outs to Show and Tell. The main still loses to Storm and Elves, though.

As a big nic fit/loam player as well, I like the idea. Like has been said, you actually have ways to beat show and tell game 1 and post board, you do have the right colours to have awesome combo hate.

[KntrellCL]

After some testing I decided Restoration Angel wasnt adding that much to the deck list (especially without any combo) so I cut both of them for a murderous Redcap.
