Essentially we're looking to get hatebears like Hushbringer, Vryn Wingmare, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben etc (evasive creatures) to then smack opponents while they're behind in order to get ahead in card draw. Could potentially but more card draw deterrents or someway to lock people from drawing altogether. But regardless, tap out our opponents swing to buff our creatures and draw.

Also have ways of getting around hard stax pieces like Winter Orb and Static Orb with Relic Barrier so that we have a way of untapping and consistently keeping our opponents behind

We also can break parity by having Smothering Tithe and one of the two above, so we consistently are generating mana in addition to any mana dorks we have out.

One of our hard lock win conditions is Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, and Kormus Bell along with Bitterblossom and Smokestack No good target for Doom Foretold because we have to sacrifice a nontoken, however we usually have a dummy creature or permanent we can sacrifice (such as one of our stax pieces in addition for another one, trading out Sphere of Resistance for Thorn of Amethyst and such)

Beyond that, continue beating with evasive creatures, get +1/+1 counters and continue smacking them and removing threatening targets, and drawing more cards than your opponent.

Will further elaborate on the strategy and why Breena, the Demagogue is one of the best stax commanders for off brand stax commanders (not nearly in the league of Derevi, Empyrial Tactician or Grand Arbiter Augustin IV because of color reasons but still a fantastic choice for stax when I get around to writing the primer.

Any and all help is appreciated. Stax is a far different playstyle than Im used to and this deck is in response to my friends who play fast go wide gruul decks. Any help from other Stax players on what can be improved, cut, refined, I probably could hone in on what hatebears I have, strategy, maybe I run too many lands? Leave a suggestion
