I have always liked metahate decks. the big issue with them has always been getting the right hate cards on the board vs the appropriate decks. Drawing inspiration from hatebears & Pod i tried to build a hate deck that solves this problem. so far the deck has been giving me mixed results although i believe this is from a combination of pilot error and an unrefined deck list.
I understand your doubts, I also don't like chord that much because it is a really expensive card, but it helps you win out of f'n nowhere sometimes (archangel + feeder).
Another question, now that I remember. Why a 4x of Witness?
Since I am running a bunch of 1 offs including my combo pieces the witness help greatly.
First thing I notice is your singleton Dryad Militant. How do you plan on podding that out when you need it? You only have 1 Fauna Shaman to find it so I figure its unlikely.

its difficult but i can pod it off the tokens from Huntmaster of the Fells, and Voice of Resurgence.
here is a good question. should i drop the blue splash for a black splash?
this would mean swapping deciever exarch for village bell-ringer, and izzet staticaster for orzhov pontiff. doing this would allow me use the black ability of deathrite. IDK if their are any good hate creatures in black.

just fought a GB rock deck and got slapped silly. none of my hate seemed relevant. i imagine this will mean that jund and junk will give me a hard time as well. not sure what to do against this match up.
They not only have great board wipes, and hand disruption, but they can hate on your lands really hard. To me either I get the Pod out turn 3, and start beating right away, or lose. The long game is definitely not in our favor unless they brick out.

With whole hate theme, I would think that it is almost a mistake not to play some number of Chord of Calling. GSZ would have been amazing...but chord is next best hate creature fetch

Just a casual guy playing around with expensive cards.
-1 Avalanche Riders
-1 Fulminator Mage (keep in SB)
-1 Murderous Redcap
-1 Hokori, Dust Drinker (keep in SB)
-1 Grand Abolisher (Voice is better, just run more)
-2 Eternal Witness (don't need 4)
+4 Chord of Calling
+3 Path to Exile
Your deck should not necessarily consist of only creatures just because you're playing pod/thalia/etc. It's good to have some outs (PTE) and more ways to tutor than just pod (Chord).

ill try and fit some paths into my list. i am hesitant to remove avalanche riders and hokori as they have been a massive help in almost every match up so far.

I have been hesitant to include cord, but I will give it a play test.

ill give this a try.

hex parasite is great anti-karn.
i think i am going to run Vampire Hexmage if i want that. as 2cmc is easier to tutor for than 1cmc.
GB Rock is pretty hard match-up for 4C Pod.
