I've always Loved playing Hatebears in EDH. I originally started with a Saffi Eriksdotter hatebears/combo deck but found it was too consistent and powerful that my meta had to gang on me to keep me from comboing as they should. That is when I decided that Maybe I'd try a different hatebears idea and that is where I settled on Ephara. I really like the crad advantage I can churn out by playing my bears.
Now I have a meta full of artifact decks and Im mostly to blame for that. I love my artifact decks as I often Run a Glissa, the Traitor, Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer, and Mishra, Artificer Prodigy which all utilize and abuse artifacts and I felt adding artifacts to Ephara would be a very powerful move but I don't want an overly powerful deck. I want a deck that will play to my meta's level of power and be fun to pilot so I decided an Anti-artifact suite would be fun to mess around with in the list.
I'm really up for any suggestions anyone has as there is no bad suggestions unless you suggest Storm crow as that is the best suggestion!
Karmic Justice looks a bit odd just because you don't have many targets for it to proc off of. I also advocate Containment Priest. That thing is just crazy good.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Karmic Justice is realistically for 2 decks in my meta that just remove lands with a Crucible of Worlds and Strip Mine. Its still hypothetical but I figure I'd test it as I have one sitting around.
Containment Priest is one that I still need to pickup but haven't had enough pucapoints with getting my modern stuff.
