RUG Birthing Pod. Started out as Bant, but I feel the red hero is better right now, plus TukTuk>>Blade Splicer

Well, in my oppinion if your going to be RUG you might wanna play Vorinclex VOH. Nice lockdown other than Urabrask. Other than that, better than my Naya Birthing pod.

Yea, Urabrask is kinda weak :( I like Vorinclex though, I'll definitely check him out!
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=218484 I built a version of this deck that not only has the Pod Element of RUG, but the Splinter Twin combo as well. I feel like it's really strong even without dual or fetch lands. I dont really like Leatherback Baloth because it doesn't do anything when it enters. Why not Virridian Corrupter to blow up other people's Swords, Birthing Pods, or Shrines? I also feel like you have too much ramp. Why not take out Nest invader and Llanowar elves and replace them with a playset of Overgrown Battlements. And with the one spot you have left over, why not put in Phantasmal Images? It gives your BOPs something to do in the late game where you no longer need to accelerate. And where's Phyrexian metamorph? Or Solemn Simulacrum? Not to be a jerk or anything, but how do you plan to get Vorniclex out? It cost's 8, you can't pod to it and by the time you get it out, it'll just get countered on turn 7. Urabrask is better because it's pod-able and it stops the Twin combo. Which is pretty necessary in our standard environment. Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs is good too. Big Fan by the way, keep up the good work!
Hmmm... this decklist is out of date really... I'll make it my current list. I began with Twin-Pod, but I decided to try an aggro-pod instead. I like Baloth because he helps stabilize vs aggro, and is a nice beater too. I decided on Nest invader because he can attack for 2, and with Hero and TukTuk the idea is aggro-pod. My current list has Phantasmal, he's amazing. I don't like Metamorph, I have found Obstinate and Hero just better. Didn't think Vorniclex all the way through... not playing him!
