By using Grand Architects ability to ramp into artifacts and to cast most of your cards. The problem is he has a big target on his head so i added birthing pod which takes so much focus off of him. Doing very well with my build just looking for thoughts and opinions...

The idea behind my side is to side into Architect Control. Mainly when i start seeing art hate. The deck has no problems vs any control just aggro, which is still winnable when u side. The best combo is turn 5 sheoldred into turn 6 elesh norn if needed. been winning very consitantly with my build. I LOVE THIS DECK.....

When you say you turn 5 sheoldred into a turn 6 norn is that because hes in your graveyard because if u pod sheoldred your forced to take a 8cmc if i am not mistaken
This looks amazing!! I'll have to try it out :)
hey thanks bro, ive actually have 6 people playing my deck all over the states im hoping to get some kind of plan against aggro because it gives me the most trouble. Any thoughts?
contagioun enguine would be good for aggro
Hey thanks for the suggestions on my illusion deck. I guess you didn't see i play standard though :P. other than that though. Nice deck, looks like it has some potential. I haven't seen many constructed that work or can handle a constant onslaught of damage.
thats all i play also is standard and all my suggestions are standard and i stayed away from cards rotating on my suggestions also.
Damn, I'd love to try out this deck if those damn spellskites wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg! Looks very promising indeed!
ya know they are only like 7 bucks and when u win at your fnms the deck will start paying for itself with the prizes. u should really try it.
I did try running this many colors but i always seemd to bet getting screwed over on one color or another. This is def a different take on Pod. I know in my build I ramp mana pretty quick, but with the Architect looks like it goes pretty quick. The only they i see is there's no removal that could propose problems, but this is a good build. i love x Phyrexian Metamorph hes just so amazing and i tell you why, I was playing another pod deck and I was not drawing into my pod, and just used the Metamorph to clone his and then i o-ringed his lol. Just awesome.
The thing is with my build the only color that the deck relies on is blue. There is only 5 cards that aren't or cant be casted by blue which are mainly pod targets. And yes Architect Pod is faster than other pod decks in my experience. Turn 5 Sheoldred into turn 6 elesh is bad ass and happens alot. Metamorph is boss i love him also, my favorite standard card at the moment... On the removal subject myr does damage early which targets creature or player spellskite stops alot of there removal glissa brings your threats back Archon removes anything on the field period wurmcoil has deathtouch which removes Sheoldred is creature removal every turn and recures yours Elesh is pretty much board wipe sounds like removal to me
This looks pretty solid.... The Pod deck and the Architect deck are my favorite decks in standard, and although I knew about this combination, i never saw it at work. I think yo should have some Birds of paradise here. they are great for turn 2 pod, then later finding 2 drops and start getting crazy with the pod.
Tried birds didnt care for them since most of my mana base is blue or a sort of blue and i rarely see the bird. I already get every thing out super fast anyways so hes not needed and if i did work him in the mana base would be all screwy then the rest of the deck wouldnt work so well. im really trying to stay out of green all together except for pod of course.
Best comment I can give is remove an Archon for an Obliterator, he really can spit on aggro with the pod.
cmc dont match and hes dead in hand
with the inniastrid cards all spoiled and pre release this weekend i was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on cards for my deck i really like grimoire of the dead and heartless summoning which i will fit in at least the heartless sounds fun huh.../
These 2 changes are extremely minor but I really dont see you needing more than 2 treasure mages. I also would drop 1 buried ruin. When you are running this many colors 3 colorless lands aren't a good thing when you could be running 1 more dual land.
well ive dropped 2 forest for 2 hinterland harbors (on order) never will i drop any more buried ruin saves my ass more than not.
Wow... I see why this deck has been winning so much. Pretty dang well built. I agree though with Agnorak, you should put in another blue land of some kind just to make sure you get the blue mana. Vorinclex seems like he would be a great option to this deck because once he comes out (and that would be easy with this deck) he could wreck some serious havoc. Those are pretty much my only good suggestions.
may need to try him sounds really fun..
ever considered a tezz? lets you get the artifact digging going / buffing
yes actually had 3 tezz in the build but i seemed i was always holding him in hand never really hitting the board so i cut him
well since vault hasnt updated the list yet ill post my new list with the innistrad cards ive tested this build for the last 2 days on cockatrice and currently 9-0 with it let me know any thoughts Deck: ArchitectPod/Archcontrol (60) // Lands 3 Buried Ruin 4 Darkslick Shores 1 Forest 8 Island 1 Plains 4 Seachrome Coast 1 Swamp 2 Hinterland Harbor // Creatures 2 Archon of Justice 1 Clone Shell 1 Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite 4 Grand Architect 4 Oculus 3 Phyrexian Metamorph 1 Sheoldred, Whispering One 2 Solemn Simulacrum 4 Spellskite 4 Treasure Mage 1 Trinket Mage 2 Wurmcoil Engine 1 Steel Hellkite // Spells 4 Birthing Pod 1 Elixir of Immortality 1 Mindslaver // Sideboard SB: 4 Mana Leak SB: 3 Phyrexian Revoker SB: 3 Ratchet Bomb SB: 4 Stoic Rebuttal SB: 1 Wurmcoil Engine
Maybe consider running 2 mana leaks and 2 turn asides. I always feel like they have the 3 lands open whenever i have a mana leak. And turn aside owns at protecting your grand architect and brithing pod, while also letting you play maybe an extra spell on your turn. Just an idea :o i think imma try running this deck. And then post again deciding if the turn asides would be better. <3
It works so well. °o°
I have a deck just like this, but i usually run only artifacts that are only creatures, so i can use both my engines (pod and architect) to ramp/tutor for them. I originally had mindslaver main, but found it didnt have as much synergy as something like steel hellkite. Just a thought....
Just saw your comment with the update. My bad...
Very interesting take on birthing pod, this is my own version http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=259377 Let me know what you think.
Also, I could do with a sun titan in there but it might be an addiction I have :D
then again if you do that you should probably also add like two Phantasmal Image, just a though.
I'd fit myr superion in here somewhere. Any advice for my u/w deck would be incredible! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=260854
what is your meta like?
