This is a new addition I like to call "Let's Make it Work), where we take a legendary with little hope or potential and try to make a deck out of it. Our first deck will revolve around Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch. She is a very underwhelming card that hard a lot of potential. She would have been a lot better if her ability allowed creatures you cast to have Unleash. But I'm not giving up and neither should you.

So how can you exploit Exava's ability to give creatures with +1/+1 counters haste? There are a few methods that we can use.

1. Unleash (Obvious)
2. Bloodthirst (Originally a Gruul mechanic that was given to black and red creatures in Magic's core set 2012)
3. Devour (A Jund mechanic that allows you to sacrifice creatures for counters)
4. Creatures that appear with counters on them (Such as hydras or other creatures with this ability)

Game Plan: Exploit all 4 of these methods to cause havoc.

This will be a community project and all recommendations are welcome since this was built on Cocatrice and not in real life.
