Other than burn it lol

My suggestion is that I like multiple {Wall of Roots} bc mana is so important and Wall + Chord = awesomeness lol but idk I don't play pod just saying my 38¢

Just playtest, playtest, playtest, and memorize your creatures.  So many times I watch people play a tool box tutor deck and they don't know what to search for because they can't remember all the 1 ofs.

[blackychan1]

Should I add the {spike feeder} & {archangel of thune} combo?

[blackychan1]

Why did pod take it out in the first place?

[DimirOverlord1300]

I personally like the archangel combo because archangel is just great on its own. I also have been liking one resto in the mb, as well as the 3rd voice. I also like having 9 fetches, so 1 marsh flats would be nice

[blackychan1]

So...
1) trade voice for thrun
2) -1 redcap +1 Resto angel
3) -1 forest +1 marsh flats

Does this sum up the suggestions?

Take out Eidolon for something else and then yes.

{Eidolon of Rhetoric} is also incredible against Affinity and the two are quite popular right now. Also has some utility against Twin because they cast {Splinter Twin} or {Kiki Jiki, Mirrorbreaker} and in response you {Abrupt Decay} the {Deceiver Exarch} or {Pestermite}, they can't respond with anything because of the one spell per turn limit. (Yes I know they can't counter {Abupt Decay} but they could drop a second combo piece for example another Kiki or Twin). I have been thinking about {Thalia, Guardian of Thraben} in the sideboard because it has a lot of versatility against a good amount of the meta. I also really want to make {Sigarda, Host of Herons} in the maindeck but it was best when Jund was at large, I still think it could find a place in the deck, but It would require more testing.

Karakoram is better against Affinity than Rhetoric, and that is already too slow. Which is why a lot of people dropped it. By the time you have Rhetoric out, Affinity is playing a spell per turn.

And it isn't good against Twin since you are asking for a near impossible set up. Twin players don't go for the combo, either. It is an oops I win factor, and nothing more. Dealing with it is helpful, but nothing better as you'll lose to the burn and beat down anyways.

Trash Rhetoric. Thalia also neuters Pod, Chord, Thoughtseize, Path, Slaughter Pact, Lingering Souls and Abrupt Decay. Running disruption in the form of creatures is better against tempo oriented decks anyways.

[blackychan1]

Trash rhetoric for what, though?

3 gavony township seems like a lot. If it works for you thats great, but I think 2 is enough considering 3 might give you some trouble with mana but idk. Also I'm jelly of this deck, wish I had the cards/money to make it

3 is pretty standard, and it is good for resetting Persist creatures, plus its a huge asset when you have to go on the beatdown path.

What better against affinity? It's a pretty widely played deck at my LGS.

I think he was trying to say "{Kataki, War's Wage} is better against Affinity", but the Autocorrect menace is always looming....
