Hatebears with a blue flavor. Gives you access to Vendilion Clique, Reflector Mage, and Spell Queller, all of which add a mean tempo element to the already annoying hatebear strategy. They also land nicely on the curve, coming in after cards like Leonin Arbiter, Voice of Resurgence or Thalia, Guardian of Thraben.

Hangups, major and minor: it's a little tricky for hatebears to be three colors, primarily because Leonin Arbiter doesn't make it easy to fetch for your mana-fixing. I'm still messing with the ratios of land-types. Less fetching also makes for more land-draws in the late game. Suggestions on this will be greatly appreciated. Also, I currently do not own any Aether Vial, and don't imagine I will anytime soon. I know how essential it is to the deck, so I'll be saving up for it.

Other suggestions are always appreciated.
