The (Z) 9 Hatch Build is so fucking easy it's almost stupid
Pros: You get to fast expand, you're VERY safe from almost anything, even fast gateways, you will get extremely fast 10 lings which will kill your opponent if he's careless.
Cons: not quite as good economy, have to think more about things, and balancing your economy out may be troublesome.
Build Order
* 10/9 drones (extractor trick)
* send 2 drones to your expansion after your tenth drone pops out, build an hatchery and send the other one to scout (doing it this way makes it easier to build the hatchery if his worker comes on the way)
* 10/9 spawning pool (yes, extractor trick again)
* 9/9 overlord
* 10/9 extractor trick again
Save larva for lings when your pool pops out. You will be able to bring 10 lings at a time, and if your opponent went 14 nexus fast expand you might be able to kill him off if he's careless. After this you just keep making drones and overlord when you cant make more drones, also make third hatch when you have the money (to second exp if he FE'd) Keep making more drones and tech when you wish etc.
FINAL NOTE: This build order is safe as fuck. Unless your foe did some cheese, you're basically guaranteed to survive the early game. You should try to keep your scout alive as long as possible. Tech up as required or spam lings early game if he's FE'ing. EZEZ. Great BO for Medusa, plant that damn hatch on the high ground expo (anti-cheese) and ling spam to victoly.
