Pod-Bard is pretty cool, but I don't think he'll do anything until after super-standard rotates.

//This card is bonkers.
+X Hornet Nest

//with Bard in play, you can activate, untap, activate in response and both triggers let you go get a bigger dude.
(+X Triton Tactics or other untap effect)

Bard is NOT pod, 1) he has summoning sickness, 2) he dies to removal, and 3) he's instant speed. The decks that make him work will be the ones to correctly keep all 3 of those things in mind.

//This seems to be the deck for this
+4 Ensoul Artifact
//You need disruption and permission
+4 Thoughtseize
+4 Mana Leak

//Too Expensive for Modern
-4 Darksteel Gargoyle
-2 Life's Finale
-2 Darksteel Sentinel

//Thoughtseize already does this now
-3 Gitaxian Probe

//A little Clunky at Sorcery Speed
-3 Tezzeret's Gambit
+2 Thirst for Knowledge

//"Expensivize" the land base
+4 Scalding Tarn
+4 Misty Rainforest
+4 Watery Grave
-4 Swamp
-4 Drowned Catacombs
-4 Island
-1 Darksteel Citadel
+1 Academy Ruins
(budget options include River of Tears and Pain Lands --> look at some BU faerie landbases)

//Sideboard Plans vary
(+4 Shadow of Doubt) //so strong right now against scapeshift and fetches
(+4 Hurkyl's Recall) //this just loses to Affinity's nuts draws, gotta slow them down into Damnation lock range.

Comments:
I like Contagion Clasp here, it kills V-Clique.
Darksteel Myr says "Hello Goyf"
I love the name and the flavor!

That was fun!

I would go to suggest a card (like mentor of the meek) and then realize you already had it like 3 times! Anyway, great deck, things I noticed:

I love the skullclamp interactions here (Ophiomancer WHAAAT?!?). You probably use it as well as any deck I've seen.

Balance is BANNED in EDH, so you should swap that out with something.

What do you think of Spirit Bonds (new from M15)?

Raise the Alarm is probably not as good as Lingering Souls but idk. How often is the surprise blocker aspect relevant?

You could probably trade out some of the dudes for combo pieces if you wanted (I can see some Conspiracy combos working in the deck such as Conspiracy + Requiem Angel for infinite sacs).

So far in testing, 11 artifacts has done the job surprisingly well. If you get flooded, though not optimal, izzet charm can help weird draws. Also magma jet gets there.

Exactly! Hand disruption is going to be really good for the next three months.

Eh, I think they might be too slow but I'll test um.

I think the generator servant plan's a trap. Take a look at my list: http://www.mtgvault.com/imfromnasa/decks/izzet-dead-yet/

I haven't tested Stoke the Flames yet, but it seems really good with young pyromancer.
