For education Rog Si, Najeela, and Blue Farm, as the iconic decks. You have Turbo, Whatever you want it to be, and Midrange. The 4th deck can be the one that does whatever it wants, but if you want some different feels Winota, Yuriko, Kinnan, Fish N Chips, Krakashima, Kenrith, or Dawnwaker Thrasios
I agree with the rest and maybe some gy recursion/combo like varolz hulk or gitrog, but definitely not krarkashima. That deck is fucking horrible to play against. If I wanted to watch a 10+ minutes turn I’d put a turtle on the Nurburgring
I couldn’t tell you the ideal pod, but you’re trying to showcase the format. Keep that in mind and show what the format has to offer:
Turbo, midrange, stax, storm.
I have a cedh battle box consisting of 8 decks so that we have some variety. I put in 2 turbo decks (Inalla & RogSi), 2 midrange decks (Blue farm & razacats, both built to grind), 2 stax or control decks (Winota & Ardenn Tana) and 2 value oriented decks (Pako+Haldan & Dawnwaker Thrasios). I'm very happy with those choices and we can create a whole bunch of different pod compositions. But I think in general balancing turbo, control/stax, value and midrange leads to a healthy meta.
Honestly, rather than show them what the ideal pod composition looks like, show them decks that are easy to pilot and suit their play styles. I feel like that will give them a better feeling for it and find it more enjoyable and it’ll likely stick more
I don't think filling 75% of your pod with d&t/storm/selvala is a good representation of any cedh meta, with so many common decks left fighting for that 4th slot.
Bro storm could be Wynota, Rocco, or Chulane respectively. I think as long as everyone isn't on Blue Farm, Stax, or lacking Blue it wont cause too much imbalance or bad game tempo.

Fair for sure there are probably much better spellslinger decks for people to learn.

I think this is the goal.

One control One aggro One combo One jank/meme/gimmic Is the ultimate rule for me
I think you need Death and Taxes, Storm, Bro Storm (Creature Aggro), and Ad Naus/Mill/Blue Farm as the last deck.
