Information

Threw this together today and I've been having some fun with it, so thought I would share. Please be aware that this list is EXTREMELY rough. I just guessed at the powerbase while building and will be altering it to make things smoother. I don't know that this deck could ever be Tier 1, because if your opponent knows what you are up to your chances of winning take a nose dive, but honestly that's probably for the best.

If you haven't seen this combo before, Katra, the Devoted + Razorquill + Stained Honor lets you activate Razorquill as many times as you like, killing your opponent on the spot.

Here's some thoughts on individual cards:

Evenhanded Golem: The reason I built the deck in the first place, as I've been having a ton of fun with it since release. I tried a "normal" version of this deck and just wasn't feeling it, and have liked this build much better. The ability to Reweave any of your two drops into two fresh cards is great.

Ephemeral Wisp: The wisp is here because it synergizes very well with Reweave and protects your life total while you get the combo set up. It also acts a recurring threat should you only be able to get Katra, the Devoted and Razorquill online for a turn or two (though I don't think you are going to be winning many games that way).

Devotee of the Sands: Lets you jump from 2 to 4, which is pretty nice in a deck that has no 3 cost cards. Could be Power Stone instead, though I've liked the flexibility of choosing between having a virtual Power Stone by shifting or a blocker/torch absorber by not shifting.

Talir's Favored: I'm not sure if these are needed or not (like I said, very rough build). You can Reweave into them to help hit your power drops which is nice, or Reweave them after playing into an Evenhanded Golem or utility creature.

Imperial Loyalist: This is probably too cute, but if you Reweave this card you can get a 2 drop plus a 4 or less drop, letting you get two combo pieces from one Reweave. Note that if you get Razorquill, you won't be able to combo off that turn, as you cannot activate twist while Razorquill is shifted, so you usually want to have a Razorquill in hand and then get a Katra, the Devoted and a Stained Honor. If you really need this to happen, hold Loyalist until 6 power so that you can play it and Reweave in the same turn without interaction, as people will snap kill it. If you have the combo in hand already, you can play it to help eat up your opponent's removal. Loyalist is also why the one of Sheriff Marley is here, since you can Reweave for it and trigger Tribute, though I don't really think that it is necessary.

Last Chance: I wanted a Dark Return effect since your combo cards will likely die, and it is perfect for the job as it saves on power and doesn't break Evenhanded Golem. Speaking of Evenhanded Golem, being able to turn excess Last Chances into extra cards if you have a Golem in your void is great.

Reweave: Card kinda does it all. Lets you turn Ephemeral Wisp (or any other two drop) into more power (Devotee of the Sands, Talir's Favored), cards (Evenhanded Golem), or a silence effect (Desert Marshal). Also lets you get two combo pieces off Imperial Loyalist (see above).

Anyway I hope someone else enjoys this deck as much as I have been. If you do end up crafting it, let me know how it goes for you and any changes you make.

Nice deck! I used this as an inspiration for my version which focuses a bit more around Loyalist and adds more interaction: https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/Ao3VAR_j0hk/evenhand-katra-quills

Thank you! I like your version a lot, I think it is definitely an improvement over mine. I had been thinking about Safe Return for a bit, and it seems like it has done some work for you based on the update so I'm looking forward to playing around with it more. Thank you for sharing!
