Originally I'd planned to run Pestermites and a Twin or two as well. As I built the deck, though, I found that in order to keep a good curve for Birthing Pod, they just had to go. The deck can still win pretty effectively without the combo which is good and is more of a surprise quick win.

One of the best things to do is by turn 4 have landed a Pod and a four-drop. Then, if I can drop a 2 drop (assuming I have at least 4 mana total for the turn) I can Pod it into an Exarch which untaps the Pod. Then I can sac the 4-drop into Kiki-Jiki and combo out for the win.:)

I get extra "cushion" from all the other effective beaters and card advantage, though (Grove + Predator/Fires). I'd love to fit in another Pestermite and/or Twin, but I just can't figure what else to really cut. The list seems like it has good game against nearly everything though, which is cool.:)

Sorry to hear about your headache.:P
