Here I am just making random decks for modern, if I ever go to the format where $800 decks exist just because of lands and combos that end on around turn 4, supposedly. I looked at a deck you all know as Melira Pod, a deck that utilizes, well Melira and Birthing Pod, and Birthing Pod was a card that gets you a lot of creatures having a lot of ways to kill your opponent by using a variety of combos. There's the Archangel + Spike Feeder to get you infinite life, or use Mikaeus instead of Archangel, or the ever known Melira + Viscera Seer + Kitchen Finks / Murderous Redcap combo to either gain infinite life or infinite damage. That's my interpretation of the deck, and if I'm wrong, please tell me. I could actually very well be wrong because I have absolutely no clue what the hell it does to it's full potential.
So then I try to use this deck, playtesting some of the various Birthing Pod decks out there, but then I thought of something, and to all modern players out there this may be a stupid question: Why use Birthing Pod? The 3-card loop has a mana-curve of it's own (turn 1, Seer, turn 2, Melira, turn 3, Kitchen Finks), so why not just simply draw into it?
Just incase you don't know the combo, how it works is when you have Seer, Melira, and Kitchen Finks / Murderous Redcap, sacrafice Finks or Redcap to scry, it doesn't get a -1/-1 counter because of Melira so then you can keep on performing the combo until your life is set. In this deck, you can also use Devouring Swarm as your sacrificer instead of Viscera Seer.
Unlike most of the Birthing Pod decks out there, this one focuses on one combo only (which is obviously a bad thing, I'll admit it, because people could easily ruin it), but the deck is more focused around this 3 card combo. Use all Communes and Grisly Salvages to get the creatures you need to gain infinite life or deal infinite damage (you'll mostly gain infinite life first, then on turn 4 play into the Murderous Redcap you must have scryed into).
If you've been somewhat of a follower of my decks, then you may notice that most of them (possibly all of them) have 4 Gitaxian Probes, 4 Street Wraiths, and 4 Manamorphoses in that deck. Those fillers are here as well, but I swear you they're for a good reason. Gitaxian Probe helps you know what you're opponent is running beforehand, and Manamorphose can counter the completely counter the deck-ruining Blood Moon because since it turns your Multilands into mountains, you can use that red mana to play Manamorphose and ignore Blood Moon's effects for a turn to do what you need to do. Street Wraith also helps as a typical filler, but if you really have to, you can use it as an emergency blocker.
You may have also noticed that There are no Zendikar Lands in the deck (Misty Rainforest, Marsh Flats, Verdant Catacombs, etc.). Guys, by this point, modern is ridiculously expensive with those lands riding up to $50-$100 (again, is it even worth it?). So i'm using a much less cheaper alternative to make the deck around $110 if you want to try it out, though if you have lands like Verdant Catacombs, you can put that in the deck, just beware of Blood Moon.
The sideboard is just some permanent removal. Abrupt Decay, Beast Within, and Maelstrom Pulse are all decent additions to whatever gets in your way (it's mostly supposed to be for Blood Moon). There's also Eternal Witness and Entomber Exarch to return your creatures from certain death in a deck with a lot of removal. Spellskite is also a decent sideboard.
Thats the deck, but who knows, I could just be some retard posting random sh*t on MTGvault trying to experiment, but hey, could come into something.
