Interesting they unbanned Green Sun's Zenith but not Birthing Pod. Pod can access more creatures, obviously, but GSZ is ramp, can be cast sooner, and requires no creatures in play to get going. It will be interesting to see how this affects Chord of Calling and Collected Company strategies.

Mox Opal and Splinter Twin should have never been banned in the first place.
