I made a birthing pod deck for a tourney today but found that it was quite lacking. It also seemed that i made it with the control mentality instead of the agro which it is. so this is take 2.... please comment

Seems to be alright. With Birthing pod you are a bit board dependent but it is not really worth it to splash blue I guess. The Gitaxian probe is nice, but seems that at least 1 copy could go sideboard. Beast within is a good card but not for a deck that wants to rush. Acidic slime and Archon work nice and plenty of targets by then. Sun Titan lets you reboot your podding chain, perhaps add a second one, Appostle's blessing might be nice for sideboard. The stonehorn has a good ability but 2x mainboard is too much. With Thrun you can regen after a Day of Judgement or force your opponent to wait untill your mana is tapped. Stonehorn is still good for sideboard against tempered steel or whatever. Against cawblade I dont see it doing very much unless a sword is equipped. As the video said it is huge to get Pod in on 2nd turn. So adding some Llanowar elves, altough they are not great, helps you start the chain a turn early. And gives you the opportunity to summon it when your opponent has its mana tapped.
The probe has been verry helpful in card draw and to know what i need to look out for so i love them in this build. as for teh stonehorn 2 does seem to much. i think hero of blade hold as the second one would be best and side the other. The video was very helpfull but i found that this deck is verry effective even without the pod. What would you suggest for a good spell to replace the beast within. While it is a little on the expensive side for me it has proven to be rather effective is i have a major problem with some artifact or enchantment. Such as if the o-ring my pod i can respond with beast within it. while it will give them a 3/3 token i will take that if it gives me my pod back. I have been toying with the same idea to add anouther titan in but i simply do not see the space. what would you suggest to take out?
I also looked at the apostles blessing and that is a much better protection spell. ill replace vines with it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hmm, I think you'd be better off with preordain instead of the probe. It's always nice getting a free peak, but in pod you really want to make sure you can go off. and preordain lets you dig. As does ponder, but I prefer preordain. lol. also, i feel apostle's blessing is weak here. A card i think you should look into is phantasmal image. they copy the mana cost as well, so that'd be some fast pod-upgrades. besides that it looks really solid, man. I like it. But if I were you, I'd go -1 beast within -1 o-ring +2 dismember. instant speed removal that doesn't give them a dude is always nice.
...completely missed that this was g/w, not bant... whoopsies.
Np man yeah i have been holding onto some dismember for this deck. ill see if i can work it in. thanks for the comment
