I really hope the next set, with Gruul and Hybrid support, is an excuse to reprint Manamorphose. It's kinda defeating the purpose of Pauper - a format built around affordability - for there to be a $10 common out there.
Doubtful look at the GRN hybrids all common creatures for limited.
They've been known to change things up between Rav sets. Look at RtR - had a cycle of uncommon hybrid 1-drops that Gatecrash didn't have. Gatecrash's hybrids didn't follow the pattern of RtR's hybrids.
Just looked RTR and Gatecrash both had 1 hybrid at rare, uncommon and common each but no other similarities so maybe we could get something but I doubt it with only 1 hybrid card per guild this go around.

Honestly, I do not really see atm why Birthing Pod should remain banned, considering new stuff like Abrade and trophy. It would help toolbox become a thing again and it is not too strong considering what other decks are allowed to do in modern currently. It also would not slot in any current deck, as chord/company follows a different gameplan and deckbuilding restrictions.
They printed the fixed version Eldritch Evolution Pod is never coming back.
@CurdBros - Yeah I had delvers as more threats but they almost never flipped and most games I'd win by just casting Riders and Angels while answering what my opp did. I've also had more counter magic The unsubs have been Mana Leak then Remand, I started hating leak as any game that goes long they turn to dead cards the remands just came out to test the unsubs but maybe I should just drop the snags for the unsubs and readd the Remands.
My SB always changes as 15 slots are not enough in this modern environment atm. I've had Negate, Flashfreeze and Spell Pierce in there at points. Also we will need to start using more Spell Snares soon with Trophy coming.
My current Jeskai list, bounce spells have become very good in the format with all the creatures that get cheated into play for cheap. Also dropped Delver it just didn't fit here but hopefully there is some uncommon still to come that might be good in GRN.
As for the SB some things not listed that I've tried Pyroclasm its good but not always great, Hallowed Moonlight great vs Bridgevine and other cheat into play creature decks and Hushwing Gryff great vs Humans and G/W value decks. And while I've only just added it to the SB Nix seems like it can do some works vs unfair decks.
ATM blue has two major problems in the format the first is not having Counterspell legal and needing to play other two mana counters that don't always do something. The second is Cavern of Souls making all the tribal decks way harder to deal with and Field can just be too slow.

Pretty sure blue can only - power OR toughness not both at once.
Also if you want UR kill creature spell just mash a transform spell and bolt together.
