os it possible to build a good modern deck without  {Tarmogoyf} Or  {Dark Confidant} In junk colors? I'm assuming I need Rhino power, but I'm not sure of what else.

Pod uses neither. I'd check out the latest LSV videos with Rhino Pod.

Definitely!! Bob is bad in a Delver/Burn format and {Hooting Mandrils} is a 10¢ Tarmo!! Now if money ain't an influence I'd prefer Tarmo BUT Hooting Mandrils is surprisingly good and occasionally showing up in Modern and Legacy!!

This is helpful. Thank you both. My other problem is the noble hierarch issue but I think  {Avacyn's Pilgrim} Solves it perfectly

Wish hooting could be cascaded by shardless agent :(

I may try subbing those in for my missing 3 tarms just to start playing my Lego deck

{Arbor Elf} is also an incredible mana dork because if you are using fetches/shocks, he can generate all of your colors. He is what I am using in play of Hierarch in my Pod deck.

I'm not a fan of the elf because it can't untap thickets

To each their own. I only run 3 Thickets, so it really hasn't come up for me.
