A fun deck focusing on artifacts and lots of card interaction on my half of the table.

Offensive captain is Tezzeret, who digs for fodder or turns vault skirges and trespassing souleaters into real menaces. At the end of the day he can coup de grace with some reach. Wolfir silverheart is the backup threat inflator, and plays well with glissa, wurmcoil and birds.

Defensive captain is Liliana, who disrupts hands, kills creatures, and maybe even takes out half their board. Spellskite runs further interference.

The Birthing Pod should give the deck a flexibility, speed, and endurance.

Glissa, Liliana and Tezzeret are the only real mana hurdles, and are all very good to get out ASAP. Birds and sphere of the suns are there to help with that.

In long games Havengul Lich is the, uh, Linchpin. He and Glissa the Traitor help to insure that the graveyard is not a place where things go quietly to die. between the two of them I can get back anything except planeswalkers and rancor.

Sideboard is prepared to give tools for battles against tokens (ratchet bomb, massacre wurm), control (duress, surgical extraction), aggro (black sun's zenith, ratchet bomb) and wants to add in the creatures (slime, wurm, sheoldred) against other pod matchups.
