Buuuut Mutavault is a Zombie! People actually almost never took the Tectonic Edge over here (multi-Wasteland in the main), so we'll see what the demand is when we play online. Mutavault and Factory were both high enough picks that they were never played by the same person. Bosk is super...

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, I just know, when I draft Pod, I really want lines like: Voice -> Kitchen Finks -> Restoration Angel -> Thragtusk or Voice -> Blade Splicer -> Nekrataal or Voice -> Tuktuk -> Flametongue Kavu Leaving something behind is very important because we want to...

Big problem with Leonin Arbiter is that it affects you too, especially if your white decks are planning on rumbling in with Steppe Lynxes. I have considered it, but it's kind of encouraging players to go in a direction that I don't want them to go in with their deckbuilding.

Tuktuk. Also, wait, I don't have Goblin Rabblemaster in my list. What is wrong with me?

Okay, my proposed ULD list is at the top of the page. It is starting to feel a bit tight and up to date. Any further tweaks?

My Pod decks are always mana starved. James and I were talking about Skaab Ruinator as a Pod card, but I can't see it fitting in any other deck in my environment.

Unrelated: Is Basilisk Collar any good anymore? The only pinger I run is Lavamancer (I think, well, Inferno Titan too a bit). Are people still playing it in your cubes?

Epochrasite does have more interesting Pod synergy (in both directions), and it kind of a goofy Cascade target.

Sac Hangarback get a 1-drop? Or sac a -1-drop, get Hangarback, morbid trigger? Aristocrats is very much a thing in my cube, but there's also already so much other shit that can be sacrificed. Maybe I should just make room for some ZEN manlands.

So what would your 6 white lands be?

You like Eiganjo over Karakas? I think the main use of Karakas is Clique / Venser recursion.

3, there's just a lot I want to do with it is all.

There are, but Voice is the workhorse. Blue tempo / velocity / whatever is a major incentive to what is kind of a fan-favorite archetype over here. I don't see it ever leaving the list to be honest. I think the cube loses character without Geist.

Geist is essential to blue aggro. Clique is my candidate for "best designed Magic card". Pod doesn't exist without Voice of Resurgence. I'm not really sure what Spellskite is for. EDIT: Also tell me what to do about Gruul.

I still don't get why nobody even tests Arrogant Bloodlord.

Proposed replacements for Toxic Deluge, Jace and Hangarback? Can be anything really. It may just be that we say "if you want to wipe the board for less than 4 mana, play red".

In blue... Complicate Force of Will Daze Squelch Memory Lapse Evasive Action Remand Counterspell Hinder Scatter to the Winds Cryptic Command Condescend Candidates: Dissipate Mana Leak Force Spike Spell Pierce Sage's Dousing My cube has 17 Wizards, if that is relevant.

Suggested FoW replacement? I could just slot in another 2-mana counter, but I would rather have one with some play to it if possible.

Hmm.. it actually got played 100% of the time in my paper cube. Especially with 2.5 Fetches, it was used a lot like Ponder. Rearrage, draw the one you want, fetch away the rest. Hmmm, this is difficult.
