I used to be a Kiki-Pod player and when Pod was banned I dropped out of modern. I see {Eldritch Evolution} and it got me a brewing. A really quick deck list of what might work. Sideboard needs ideas as well

Personally I jut feel that CoCo and Chord are just way better than Evo but I haven't tested yet

CoCo can hit more creatures but it Evo lets you choose your creatures. Also CoCo can't hit the rhino

I could coco in this deck as well. I had a mindset of replacing Pod's tutor with evolution. Idk what this deck does really besides gain some life, go wide with a rhino, value some dudes and has a combo win con

Obviously if you went coco you'd cut the 4 drops and go full combo but I just don't know if I like Evo like it's pretty awesome but you can get so blown out so much whereas going to 4 chords instead (sure costs 2 more but in this deck the cost us paid easily by convoke) seems better

Jeff Hoogland top 8ed a Sunday event for modern running 3 chords and 4 Eldritch evolutions running Resto Angel/Kiki combo with a single elesh born and a bunch of beaters. Looks solid. He tweeted a picture of his list.

Interesting. I was worried that kiki would be hard to achieve. Maybe I could try the kiki version
