Just built a pod Brenard deck myself. Glad that someone else finally shines some light on the Rampant Rejuvenator. That thing with the pod wins games! Checked edhrec for it, and it was nowhere to be seen, even with the sacrifice/pod theme. Although Academy Manufactor is one of the most used cards in the decks, even though it is a non-bo with Brenard.
EDH rec can definitely be a double edged sword especially with new commanders I try to keep my distance 😅. Glad to hear there’s more pod decks out there!
I built a BrenardPod list as soon as the full set dropped. It really made me fall in love with Pod all over again, and the colors are the sweet spot. My strategy is more aimed towards tokens, so I pumped my deck full of the splicers and token doublers
So I'm overloading my Brenard deck with token doublers and triplers. I like the card draw engines you have in here. A couple of adds that I don't think you mentioned here: Craterhoof Inga and Esika Gilded Goose Prime Speaker Zegana Neoform for a mini pod Agent of Treachery Greater Good Night of Sweet's Revenge
I didn't go the pod road but i'm super happy with brenard he's a beast. I build it with splicer and token doubler obviously but also put an evoke package and creature that self-sacrifice like steve, haywire Mite and the best card of the deck, Selfless Spirit.
I'm liking this deck... may put it together and see if id make any changes. As a black player I generally like my interaction to be conditional to my creatures dying or ETB, so it may take some getting used to, lol
I love this card, but I am curious if it would work as an unnatural commander, making all my creatures as little artifact creatures and having all sorts of artifact and enchantments help boost their power and do combo shenanigans.
Ramp hard and hard cast bombs the deck doesn’t necessarily need pod to function it just works a lot better that way. Not to mention we do have vannifar and eldritch evolution as a back up plan. Eternal witness can also grab it back from the grave 😁

It seems a lot of play in Henzie, but it flies so low under the radar everywhere else. Glad it has a home in more decks.

That’s awesome! The way he can utilize pod is super busted haha
Syr Ginger is an awesome addition! +1 +1 and scry everytime a artifact goes to graveyard
With this theme you could also include Neoform as a budget alternative to Eldritch Evolution.
Nice deck! I could build it myself 😁
That’s a solid suggestion! I definitely missed that one.
The new capenna Vivien is also a pod on a planswalker if you want more redundancy.
I love the idea of building a brenard golems deck though and think Pod could bring in some silly fun fast

He’s definitely a really unique commander!
You should totally try to add Losheel clock work scholar and padeem to give your artifact creatures hexproof!
I was soooo close to including losheel after some playtesting she might be worth it. I definitely like the Padres idea!
CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE BRENARD IS COOKING!
Seriously though, the podding through your entire deck and keeping your untappers is crazy!
Right it’s super busted!

Hits ya with the steel folding chair. ECW!!! ECW!!! ECW!!! lol

That’s kinda the route I went with Anikthea she can really abuse anthems in a fun way!
first! I like the pod idea!
Vanifar and eldritch both made the list 😁 they can definitely be solid pieces to fall back on!
How does this recover if birthing pod is immediately removed?

Decks like these should always have recursion and redundancies like Vannifar
