Deck discussion for Birthing Golem

Your deck doesn't seem like it is based around the birthing at all. In fact, the only real combination I can see there is the precursor Golem and the 2 buff spells you have. Yes, that can be nasty, but you still need exactly Precursor Golem and 1 or 2 of the buffs, plus an army to make it properly effective. It also makes your golems easier targets, though. Doom Blade for instance would wipe out your golems... It's a double-edged sword there.
Aside from that, I don't see what you are aiming for. You have a Sun Titan and a Elesh Norn, but if that's your win condition... then that's what you'd be trying to birth, so you should have more of both.
Focus on HOW you expect to win.

Well i guess i should explain my choices for you to understand how this deck works,

1- Llanowar Elves: He is mainly used to pack on some extra mana early to be able to play my splicers/birthing pod earlier
2- Suture Priest: His main use is to add me a lot of Life since with every splicer in play i gain 2 life and possibly 3 for Precursor Golem and Wurmcoil engine. Which could be twice as effective with birthing pod.
2- Wall of the tangle cord: He is mainly here for earlier turns, to protect me from flying and such and buy me time to play precursor and my bigger guys.
2- Steel Overseer: Overseer boosts my golems to 4/4+ and possibly 5/5 if Master splicer is on the field
3- Blade splicer: His main use is to bring out a Golem on the field, i don't rly care about his first strike ability, it might be useful in some cases but the plan is to sacrifice him for master splicer and keep that golem in play.
4- Master Splicer: Now Master Splicer gives all my Golems +1/1 which makes them 4/4 and possibly more if steel Overseer is in play. He is also mainly in the deck to bring out a Golem and then be sacrificed to get my precursor Golem out.
5- Precursor Golem: For precursor golem, you mentioned Doom blade which could kill all 3 Golems, but the way i see it, it would be that even if i would bring out a 9/9 creature he would still be killed by doom blade... so basically precursor Golem is a 9/9 divided by 3 which can be boosted by both master splicer and steel overseer. Yet even if doom blade would be used, i have vines of vastwood which can counter that and if used it with groundswell, it could potentially bring me to 3 11/11 Golems without steel overseer and master splicer for a possible one turn kill.
6- Sun Titan: Sun Titan is mainly here to continue the birthing chain, bringing back Llanowar elves, suture priest, wall of tanglecord and in best cases blade splicer to add a golem and sacrifice it.
6- wurmcoil engine: Works well if boosted with steeloverseer and can kill some bigger guys in a pinch but would be traded with Elesh depending on the situation.

Bithing chain:
Llanowar elves ---> steel overseer/suture priest for 1/1 boosts or health boost depending on the case
Wall of tanglecord/suture priest ---> Blade splicer depending on flyers or mass summoning
Blade splicer ----> Master Splicer for 2 4/4 golems and Mastersplicer
Master splicer ----> Precursor Golem which can be a finisher if used with vines or groundswell
Precursor Golem ----> Sun titan. This would bring 2 golems out and suntitan out which could restart the chain. This could also be used if im only left with precursor and the 2 other golems were destroyed.

The reason why i only have 2 birthing pod is because i dont rly need 2 in play besides if sun titan has been played, but the plan is to have enough creatures to finish the game before it comes down to having to use 2 birthing pod xD.

Not sure if its the optimal strategy for birthing pod and Golems but i think it could be rly deadly especially with Fresh meat in a pinch.

Advices are welcome, Thanks for your output Multi!

I can see and understand the birthing chain, but I think Birthing chain requires a lot of time. I do like that you have some early defenses, but I think your strategy as a whole is dependent on your pump spells, which you only have 6 of.. I might run a full compliment of 8, or try to work in more actual card drawing.
