Deck discussion for new bant pod

this looks a lot like pre-rotation bant pod lol. My pod builds are usually aggressive. I can't wait for more of the block to come out so we can have faster play. it won by turn 5 almost every game, and by turn 6 every game.. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=220845

I like the alternate win condition (venser + stonehorn) .... but it just seems slow to me. I guess I just like having big creatures out really soon rather than control cards. hmmm let me think about alternatives, because all the good cards I can think of rotated out.

awesome cheers. i do like venser in gerneral, as it works well with the blade splicer, solemn and stonehorn. and allows the time to get up to whatever it takes to win.

im hoping in next few sets there will be a green white or blue sac outlet for a infinite combo with sun titan and fiend hunter.

the deck seems pretty nice, but i have really no idea of pod decks^^
i would play less 5 and 1 mana creatures and a little more which cost 3 and 4, because these are the beginning of all sacrifice rows.
and i can suggest more Razor Hippogriff to bring back Pods and more skaab ruinator (to bring in with pod, sacrifice and play again from your graveyard). oh and i don't see the use of phantasmal image, because you cant use it for the pod, can you?

hm interesting, the 1 mana creatures are there as it helps makes the deck alot first as well as getting ur first stages.

In terms of 5 drops i would expect to cut hippogryph before the slimes or archon but all can be used to pod into at diffrent circumstances depending what im playing against. slimes are great against steel and i would say its more likely needing to answer a threat then to bring back a pod, because if ur pods dead how do you get to it in the first place other then luck the draw.... also theres isnt actually 11 five drops in the deck. only 4 creatures and the 2 venser's apparently its a bug to do with the phyrexian mana.

in terms of the image it really helps in podding up, you can play it copying a 5 drop such as acidic slime or archon. pod it away then to fetch sun titan (as pod doesnt target the creature it just says sacrifice), then sun titan can bring it back straight away as another copy of sun titan or whatever else im looking to copy at the time. it gets great value even with its weakness. but i may concider adding in a extra phyrexian metamorph

im really trying to find something to cut to place a peace strider in but cant decide, as it goes so well with the hypogryph against aggro decks as a life gain method

I honestly would only put some removal in. Oblivion ring is the best in slot at the moment.

i would honestly try to put some removal in maindeck but im having a real hard time try to work out what to cut as it is. >.< what would u surgest to make space?

i might try work for a compromise between are two builds with keeping the main deck venser strategy and see where that goes. cheers for the insight :)
