so... What do you guys think about people adding {Siege Rhino} to their MeliraPod Decks?
I don't get it at all personally. For 4 I like {Phyrexian Metamorph} a lot better or something else
There are a lot of better 4 drops ({Phyrexian Metamorph}, {Murderous Redcap}, {Restoration Angel}...)....but in this meta, it could be necessary.
Not a huge fan. Sure it's puts you 6 life ahead of where you were compared to your opponent, but only half of that is going towards helping you win, the other half is just 3 life. And sure, the body is nice but a 4/5 trample for 4 with 3 specific colors seems pretty iffy to me
Colors don't matter in pod.
I have seen pod decks in the past board in things like thragtusk to counteract burn or Aggro decks so it would not suprise me to see rhino show up strictly for the fact that he is a 4 drop and plays off of finks so well.
I like the rhino. Good etb and a strong body.
Good in modern. Great in decks like junk midrange, but bad in pod. 3 life 3 loss is not enough when that is all etb and ltb triggers for a 4 drop. At that point in the game redcaps, etc are just better.

I disagree. I think that rhino is good because he makes you not die while he makes your opponent closer to dying. Especially in the current meta with so much burn, another burn spell plus a creature they probably can't answer that hits for a lot is pretty good.
