Short answer: "Target" =/= affected by something. Birthing Pod does not target.


Long answer:
The word "target" has a very specific meaning in Magic. In order for something to involve targetting, the word "target" has to appear in the card's Oracle text. Since the word "target" is not present in Birthing Pod's text, no targeting is involved. You will get to search your library for a creature card with converted mana cost equal to 1 plus the converted mana cost of the creature that Phantasmal Image copied.

Really cool how you can kind of work your way up your creature curve, turn after turn. A little like Aether Vial, nowhere near as broken though.

Mimic Vat imprinting an Acidic Slime.

Every turn you destroy an opponent's land. Every turn you grab a Wurmcoil Engine or your favorite titan, all colorless.

ALL HAIL THE LORD EGOTIST.

And even without him, this is a pretty stupidly powerful card. Not only can this become hell in limited, it can be easily splashed into other colors for some more fun.

Nobody's thought of Sprouting Thrinax into Savra? even Thrinax into Marsh Flitter wouldn't be too shabby. Really all this card needs is creatures that do cool stuff when they die, like Summoner's Egg, or MindSlicer, and/or the legendary dragons. Kokusho, the Evening Star comes to mind, but the others would be good too (Ryusei and Jugan would be in Thinax colors as well)
