Hello all,

Let me tell you just how strong Hatred is. I have constantly been reading
about how Hatred can be stopped easily with shock, but some creatures are just
plain on unshockable, such as Erg Raiders. Another thing that has been
consistantly happening for me, are second and third turn kills because the
Hatred combo comes up and my opponent is tapped out. The basis of this deck is
to get out a shadow creature out early, watch you opponent tap out, the
continue to attack and add 19 damage with the almighty Hatred! I think this is
much stronger in Arena because it is 1st) Unexpected
2nd) It is just a damn strong card when you don't get all the goodies (reverse
damage, incinerates, etc) to play against it. Sure, there are counterspells
out there, but if you play my deck, you have counterspells too.
3rd) Damn its cool! Hatred is no longer a card, but a state of mind!

Here's my Exodus Pre-Constructed with the 15 card addition... tell me what you
think!

12x Islands
11x Swamps
4 x Hatred
2 x Dark Ritual
2 x Erg Raiders
4 x Dauthi Horror
3 x Dauthi Warlord
2 x Diabolic Edict
2 x Dark Rituals
3 x Manta Riders
4 x Merfolk Looters
1 x Keeper of the Mind
1 x Rootwater Hunter
1 x Thalakos Scout
2 x Mana Leak
2 x Counterspell
1 x Capsize
2 x Forbid

I hate it when people put stuff on the dojo and don't explain, so I will
explain the premise for all of you who have been living under a rock and don't
understand. You bring out the shadow junkies cause they usually don't get
blocked. When they attack you play Hatred and kick you opponent's little face
in! You can get it running on the second or third turn most of the time, but
stalling is essential to this deck. You have to realize when is the best time
to play Hatred so that it doesn't get counterspelled or reverse damaged!
(Trust me, it sucks when it gets reversed damaged! Thanks Chris!) I plan to
take this deck and kick some ass at Arena on Tuesday, so expect an Arena
report in the next week! That's it! This is you Omega represntative of
Albuquerque, New Mexico, Roberto Gonzales!
