Dies to Removal

Yes, definitely bolt it if you have it in your opener. You can't Spell Snare a T2 Birthing Pod, and you won't be able to Remand it, so delaying the acceleration is a good play.

If you don't draw the bolt until your 2nd turn on the play, still bolt the damn thing. If you're feeling silly, let them accelerate into a T2 Birthing Pod, then kill the dork in response, leaving them vulnerable to Pestermite into Twin shenanigans.

Everyone's scared of Pod, but a Birthing Pod by itself doesn't do a damn thing, and you can always Remand their Persist creature (Finks, Redcap) to really ruin their tempo.
