Abzan Birthing Pod Stuff?
1 {Grim Backwoods}
3 {Verdant Catacombs}
4 {Overgrown Tomb}
3 {Godless Shrine}
1 {Plains}
5 {Forest}
2 {Swamp}
4 {Temple Garden}
23 lands
4 {Scavenging Ooze}
4 {Tarmogoyf}
4 {Voice of Resurgence}

2 {Eternal Witness}
4 {Noble Hierarch}
26 creatures
4 {Birthing Pod}
4 {Thoughtseize}
3 {Abrupt Decay}
11 other spells
Sideboard
Notes:
Use birthing pod to trigger some ETB effects or to sac creatures to pump "tarmy the dude that eats everything" (what?) or trigger voice of resurgence. A ton of value, some removal, easy to win with, a lot of money to spend on :)

The real issue with this deck is that I'm pretty sure that {Birthing pod} is still banned.
Fail 2.0
{Collected Company} actually makes a perfectly fine replacement for Pod. Even if it doesn't it Rhino, it still can grab any other creature in the deck.

I re-checked it's not banned :)

Yeah it could work, but would you run 4 copies?

Piotr hasn't updated the ban lists in a while, so on the app it says it's still legal.

Curve needs to be lower with CC and you need more creatures. Anafenze is absolutely amazing for the decks since she enables beats so much better than Melira did, and you can still combo if your opponent is bad.
Fair enough. CoCo fills a very similar role that Pod does and they only have 4 creatures in the deck that it can't hit (Rhino), it just seemed like a good replacement
Ok thanks for the help!
That's bullhonkey that my 2 favorite green cards {Birthing Pod} & {Green Sun's Zenith} are banned

Still haven't had the chance to play against it yet but really want to. I'm thinking of switching my wilted list to a collected company list.
