So I found a newly opened LGS that is running an Extended game next week, of all things. I looked and saw there isn't even an extended section on MTGS anymore (can't say I blame them). But I want a deck to play in the event. So whats a good extended deck these days? Apparently Extended is Zendikar forward these days.
I was going to pull my beloved Pyromancers Ascension deck out of retirement, but Ponder and Preordain are banned, which also rules out Delver. Cawblade is out since JtmS and SfM are banned. I have a nice MBC/Black Market deck I could pull out, but it's a little slow. I also need to work with a somewhat limited card pool since I'm not going to buy any cards to play in the event
U/B/x Tezzeret with the Trading Post/Wellspring engine, Naya/4C pod will probably crush any untuned (aka every single Extended) metagame. I would expect a lot of people on UW control, splinter twin, or Valakut.
You actually get access to a Modern Manabase until October for Extended....take advantage of it.
I would run an extended version of a Tier 1 Modern deck probably. Maybe UWR draw-go (i dont think ponder/preordain are banned in extended?), birthing pod or RDW?

As stated in the OP, both Ponder and Preordain are banned in Extended.

I have the MBC Black Market deck that ran the Trading Post/Wellspring Engine. I think it's probably the best deck that I have all the cards for, besides maybe a Boros Aggro build, or just shoot for the moon with a UG Infect deck and hope to nut a T2-T3 win. I think Black Market may be a little weak to counterspells, but I was a solid 50/50 matchup vs Delver when they were both in Standard, which isn't bad.
I don't have the cards for a good Pod deck, unfortunately.
I'll have to go through the Zendikar block for any better black cards to add to it though, IoK is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
