Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

this is my take on podless pod. I liked the deck a lot and felt that it needed the bad with pod cause I felt so bad when I played it but I would like some input on this deck its welcome and I just want to take up the deck again.
I was kinda good with it and would like some help.

Deck discussion for modern pod

Do you really need Congregation at Dawn? With CoCo and Chord, you should have more than enough search. Removing it will open space for more copies of the combo pieces, which would make CoCo more consistent.

Anafenza, the Foremost is actually quite strong sideboard against the mirror. And any other deck that puts creatures into its graveyard, like Dredge and Goryo's Vengeance.

With CoCo and Chord mainboard; 1 Anafenza, the Foremost should be enough. Iona is a bit pricey (mana wise), so maybe in her slot?

Evolution is a great card, but it also doesn't feel necessary. You don't want so much search that you can't search. What I mean is, the less creatures you have to search for, the less reliable your search will be. CoCo needs creatures in the library, the more, the better. Evolution needs a creature to sacrifice, which means you'll need to draw and play a creature first. Chord wants creatures both in play and in the library; in play for convoke and in the library to be searched for.

More combo pieces. ie; Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit; Melira; Finks; etc.

Or Another Bird.

Or some mainboard utility creatures, like Qasali Pridemage.

Glad to help.

I went to WMCQ last weekend and faced off two of these decks, and a friend runs this. So I have some experience againsts this deck, enough to know what I need to kill to stop the combo and what is optimal for the deck to combo off.

Another card I just realised you don't have in your sideboard: Burrenton Forge-Tender. This card can stop a red board sweeper, which is what I relied on at the WMCQ to stop the combo.

Then I suggest attending every FNM; Prerelease; Game Day; etc. you can to rack up points to qualify for the big events. Watch big tournaments, observe the meta, and most importantly:

Practice, practice, practice.


I know that 3+ colour decks are popular in Modern, so when I chose my deck for WMCQ, I chose to play GR Ponza, which can drop a Blood Moon on turn two, locking out most decks. Here's the list I ended up playing:
