This deck is inpired by the list posted by Blackguard here: https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/details/X_liIA9S8nQ/xenan-gauntlet-farming-masters

This is my take on the concept. I already played a Katra deck before that used Auric Interrogator and the interaction between the two (when interrogator has lifesteal) is amazing. So when I saw blackguards list, I knew I had to try it.

Basically we're going all in on the interaction between Katra, and units with pinging abilities (and giving those units lifesteal).

From the original list, I kept Auric Interrogator, Impending Doom, and Fenris Nightshade as they are all pretty awesome cards when combined with lifesteal.

I didn't really love Argenport Instigator as I found him to be a less reliable source of pinging, especially with the low amount of removal the deck has, so he got the axe.

Speaking of getting the axe, Hatecleaver was the next card to go. It's a cool card, but super slow, not reliable removal, and seems like a bad idea when we're doing so much damage to our own face.

I also cut Jack's Knife, it pumps interrogator to start drawing cards, yes, it can trigger Katra when on a lifesteal unit, yep, but, Xenan Initiation also does all of the above, while simultaneously giving you a fantastic piece of removal, which is often renewable since we're playing with Dark Return.

Finally, I didn't really like Devour. We're not playing any kind of free fodder units like dark wisp or grenadin, and also, I'm tapping out every turn to activate Fenris, so keeping 2 power open to respond to removal is not happening.

After all that, my additions are as follows:
Temple Scribe - smooths draws, triggers Katra, chump blocks, draws a card
Blistering Wasp - Amazing early blocker, great with Xenan Initiation, flier to pit weapons on
Deathstrike - is Deathstrike
Xenan Initiation - Mentioned already above
Shadowlands Tyrant - Pings when attacking, naturally has Lifesteal, all around powerful card that naturally synergizes with the deck
Lethrai Falchion - another soirce of lifesteal, pumps interrogator, ends game real fast on a flier
Amber Waystone - "The waystones hold great power." Free lifegain trigger for Katra.
Crests - adding all the time cards means needing more time sources, and these are a fantastic source of fixing of course.

And that's it. This is still a work in progress I think. I kinda want to make room for st least 1 dark return in the market, figuring it out.

Looks good, may see about making a version myself.
Was going to suggest Surgeon's Saw instead of Lethrai Falchion but see you've already made that switch.

Fun and good deck. Didn't have two Dreamsnatchers and a Shadowlands Tyrant so put in 3 Vara's Choice's. They are handy!
Ninjacan Eternal Version: 1.38
Absolutely. Dreamsnatcher is not mandatory, but he's great at buying you time against aggro and occassionally when the game goes long he's a 15/3 for 12 power XD
