New Phyrexia and the horrors of Innistrad's ascending darkness combine forces to consume any hope that your opponent might have had of winning.
The idea is to use undying and hex parasite or undying and birthing pod. This deck has a lot of singles, on purpose so that it can fetch whatever it needs with birthing pod to answer the currrent situation. This is a budget deck of sorts and is meant to fun play with and against. The use of primarily singles means that the number of these things you will have lying around.React to what your opponent(s) is(are) doing. Is your opponent playing a control deck? aggro them with aggressive one and two drops, or if you have birthing pod try to get a game winning combo like mikaeus + solemn simalcrum + hex parasite assembled. Are they playing aggro? play defensively and try to stall them until you can bring out geth and turn their own aggression against them, or just control the aggro with creatures like skinrender and acidic slime. They trying to combo out? blow up the combo pieces and beat them to death.

Quite the unholy Allance
Have you considered adding Triskelion. It would be an instant win condition with Mikaeus
I've thought about it but this is a flavor deck as much as an actual deck, and honestly this was my favorite deck back in standard even though it only rarely won FNM it was always fun to play, and most people have fun playing against it. The thing about triskellion is that without mikaues he isn't able to do anything. Admittedly with a birthing pod i can can get mikaues and the next turn follow up with triskellion, so it would be a pretty solid team up. I think I will put triskellion in the sideboard, and trade geth for him when I'm playing someone I Just want to beat to death. Any other suggestions for sideboard?
I'd throw in 1 Wurmcoil Engine, and 1 Elesh Norn. Could you imagine Birthing Pod'ing a Wurmcoil, getting 2 wurm tokens when the Engine dies, and searching your library and dropping Norn! If you don't want the Elesh Norn cause you want to keep it green and black, sac your Wurmcoil and get a Sheoldred, then the next turn you get your Wurmcoil back! To make room for the wurmcoil, i'd take out Geth. To make room for Elesh Norn or Sheoldred...maybe the mortarpod
Thats good end game, but can you think of anything good for the midgame? Add more to the toolbox as it were. For example, I was thinking of putting in a Phylactery Liche so I have a strong 3 drop I can tutor up in a hurry.
I have to agree about the lich. It'll also protect the pod
Any other Idea's?
3 Beast within. a vorinclex. For the side board. and maybe a primeval titan main deck.
I see what your saying, but I don't really need mana ramp, as the point is to cheat things out with pod. Also Beast within is great, but what should i take out for it.
I don't see mortarpod doing much. i may be wrong because I've never played the deck maybe one of the strangleroot and maybe the exarch. Again though I'm not sure how the deck runs though but that's my suggestion
I've been playing it a lot since a built it awhile ago (didn't mention it earlier because I don't want to stifle other people's ideas for the deck), so this is the updated version. Basically mortarpod is my anti aggro card. Also combined with geralfs messenger it can burn my opponent to death. The thing I have been finding is that unless I'm up against strong aggro, the best strategy is to just get mikaeus, hex parasite, and either acidic slime or skin render, and every turn have them un-die over and over until my opponent has nothing left. It works best in Multiplayer, but I have played it 6 times at fnm modern and it has always won more games then it has lost, but it has never come in first place.
Ill have to think i little then. though for the sideboard i have to suggest abhorrent overlord
ooh, it is an interesting idea. Would definitely be some explosive endgame. I could remove geth for it. Ill start by side boarding it. I will play test next FNM see how it does.
You could replace the wakedancer for another beast within. target your creatures with undying making it more abusive
yeah but wakedancer is there for the sole reason of creating a 0 cost when it gets tutored up, which i can then sac to get hex parasite, who allows me to abuse the strangleroot geist i just sacrificed to get the wake dancer. I do like the way you think though.
well are the slips necessary to the deck?
actually your right they really aren't needed they just fill out the curve nicely (and they are really nice creature removal since things in this deck die pretty much every turn). That being said beast within is the better removal spell (if the mana is available). Hmmm well definitely gonna put 2 beast within in the sideboard. Ill start testing it. I'm a little worried about the mana curve throwing a hissy fit against aggro decks, but Ill have to test it to find out.
Hope it runs well. i have to say its nice to see a different deck with birthing pod and its definitely not a melira pod. As a lot are.
Meleria Pod can go die in a fire for being made by people who can't be more creative with their combos.
That's a but ragish..i like it lol. this is definitely a better version of a pod deck in my opinion for the sheer fact its different
