Podless Pod!In the face of the Eldrazi Winter, this deck has risen to Tier 1. Like it's Birthing Pod based ancestor, this deck is a toolbox built to answer any threat -- with the inevitability of a combo win; and in a pinch a value-creature beat down. Collected Company and Chord of Calling are our enablers, letting us dig for combo pieces (or toolbox answers) at instant speed. Whether Kataki, War's Wage to shut down Affinity's ramp, or Orzhov Pontiff to kill tokens, wreak havoc on Merfolk's combat math -- or even buff your team to swing in for the win this deck has it all!
There are several basic combos in the deck to pull off the win-condition. 1) Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit/Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Viscera Seer + Kitchen FinksSacrifice Kitchen Finks to either Seer or Aristocrat, as it enters the battlefield again you will gain 2 life. With Melira on-board, you will not receive a -1/-1 counter from the persist effect, and will instead have an undying Finks. Similarly, as the Finks reenters the battlefield -- Anafenza's Bolster trigger will negate the effect of the -1/-1 counter. Repeat this process an infinite number of times for infinite life. 2) Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit/Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Viscera Seer + Murderous RedcapLike the Kitchen Finks combo, Melira and Anafenza will negate the -1/-1 counter placed on Murderous Redcap, and as it enters the battlefield -- you may deal 2 damage to target creature or player, and infinite number of times.3) Play both Melira, and Anafenza, if you put Murderous Redcap into play, you can kill Muderous Redcap with it's own ETB trigger stacking the bolster triggers infinitely. This is VERY useful for situations where your opponent won't scoop to infinite life, but you can't necessarily target them with Redcap for the win (Leyline of Sanctity in play etc. etc.) You can achieve a similar effect by sacrificing a Kitchen Finks to Viscera Seer with both Anafenza and Melira on board. This is useful, because it can be easier to chord for 2 (instead of 4 for Redcap) to bolster & swing when they don't concede.

Nice list. I'd make a small suggeston for both the main and side boards. I think 1 spike feed and 1 Archangel is too small to ever be a reliable win con even with chords. Another spike feeder might help so you'll hit it more often off a coco. As the the SB cut crumble and reveilark and Ana fenza in favor of more the against the meta. Kataki firewall and fulminator probably

I am actually considering cutting the Archangel/Feeder combo altogether. While it is nice having an alternate win-condition, it feels like it's watering down the other combos and taking up slots for cards that I could otherwise take advantage of.My sideboard is still very much a work in progress, and it will be hard to work out something solid until I get more testing in for my specific meta. I feel like Tidehollow Sculler may have a place, as well as a couple of Stony Silence to hit Tron and Affinity. I did end up cutting out the Crumble to dust though. Putting in a playset of Fulminator Mage is more likely to benefit me in the long run.
