Anafenza, Hatebears 2021
After a rather unsuccefull attempt at Azorius Hatebears, I'm now trying an Abzan one (I really want a deck like this). The problem with the Azorius one (led by Lavinia, Azorius Renegade ) was that it was good at slowing stuff down, but not so much in actually winning. So the end result was me taking the tempo out of the game but not doing much else. To try and not repeat that mistake I made sure I added some buffs for the otherwise kind of puny hatebears (Huatli, Radiant Champion, Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Wilt-Leaf Liege, Ravos, Soultender and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite) so I can actually keep attacking and actively killing my opponents while stalling them.
What I also found was that, once you get the proper hatebear out to screw with someone, they will do everything they can to remove it. That's why the deck also features an extensive recursion package: no bear will be gone for long (unless it's exiled of course). It also allows me to quickly recover from boardwipes if neccesary.
Anyway, as you can see in the decklist, I still have some cards in my maybeboard that I feel should be in there but aren't because I can't play 107 cards. So I'm turning to you all to tell me whether you feel I made the right choice or what cards I should swap. Or just critique in general.
