The deck aims to cast hatebears as quick as possible. The hatebears establish early control on the game and also put pressure on opponents to react (use removal or denying spell) early. Later we can finish the game with big flying fatty Divinity of Pride or Odric, Lunarch Marshal buffs.
I used to run Thalia, Guardian of Thraben as my commander but it just bring so much hate, and also I need more drawing power from black. Then I tried Atreos, God of Passage as my commander but it tends to run like aristocrat deck then creatures beatdown. So I tried Tymna the weaver and Ravos, Soultender this past few weeks and the results have been money. Tymna ensure us at turn 3 we will draw extra card (s). This what keep the deck going, having our hand refills to ensure we can drop more creatures and keep the pressure on the table. Board wipes definitely hurt us, Eerie Interlude, Rootborn defenses and selfless spirit are crucial for this. I still need another copy of Teferi's Protection for this deck since I use it in almost all my other white decks.
I've decided to go for a semi-Edric approach with Tymna and have tried to include a package of low CMC creatures that will most likely connect with an opponent. Then, the deck is built to make these simple, evasive creatures genuine threats through +1/+1 counters.
I really like your style of incorporating Hate-Bears as they usually buy extra time to deploy more creatures. Cards like Thorn of Amethyst and other taxers could be really good at making a low-to-the-ground aggro strategy viable.
@benjameenbear Thanks for your list. I really like the +1/+1 counters theme on your deck with the inclusion of Mikaeus, the lunarch and Drana, liberator of malakir. I think I am going to test out Mikaeus in my deck this week and see how he performs.
