Information

If you enjoy the thrill of never being fully certain that your Evenhanded Golems will draw cards, this is the deck for you!

I'm honestly not sure exactly how good the deck is since I've been pretty busy this month and have mostly been drafting when I do have time for Eternal, but it's at least playable (e.g. I just went 10-2 with it in the Ranked Masters Challenge qualifiers) and might be pretty good.

Guide to drawing two cards:
1) You want to play Golem when the Hours in your deck have even cost. In particular, this means that it is fine to play a Golem on turn 2.
2) If you intend to Scream back a Golem, you want to play Scream when the Hours in your deck have odd cost (or cost 0), since the Scream will make the cost even before playing the Golem.
3) If you have an Hour in your hand, then you can just look at its cost to determine whether it is safe to play Golem/Scream.
4) If you don't have an Hour in your hand, then you have to count cards in one way or another. This mostly isn't as bad as it sounds - my approach is to take (# of cards in your void) + (# of units on your board) + (# of copies of Last Chance, Scream, or Re-read that you've played this game) + (# of cards you've discarded to hand size) + (# of times your opponent has messed with this count (e.g. with Shakedown, Sabotage, or Be Gone)).
5) Don't feel bad about yourself if you mess up and play a Golem without it triggering - I do this sometimes even after 30ish games with the deck. (You will probably feel bad about not getting to draw two cards, though...)

Rest In Peace, Even Hour. You didn’t deserve what happened.
OmegaWeapon Eternal Version: 1.46.7
By far the most fun deck iv played on eternal and it does pretty well on ladder too kudos man
Pandevmonium Eternal Version: 1.46.6
One the most fun decks ever, and it can also win! I am trying Honor of Claws instead of Lightning Storm and Scouting Party, since I want to dig through the deck faster and usually playing Witching Hour at low cost is not a great issue.
Psychotronic Eternal Version: 1.46.6
There's a surprising amount of variety with this deck. I had a game where I systematically removed a combo deck's win conditions with Royal Decree and Re-read. Another where I cast nothing but Tend the Flock and Re-Read so I could use both the Witching Hours in my hand. Others where I just save all my Re-reads for Witching Hour itself and run my control opponent out of Harsh Rules.

Basically I like Re-read.
Ninjacan Eternal Version: 1.46.6
I had to read this twice
Gandalf Eternal Version: 1.46.6
I had to laugh
Tenukkiut Eternal Version: 1.46.6
Really fun deck. However, the biggest problems I faced was with aggro and relic decks. I don't really know how to handle them.
YoGabbaGabba Eternal Version: 1.46.6
Is there a good replacement for desecrate? I don't have homecoming, but this deck looks like a lot of fun
latisansklay Eternal Version: 1.46.6
Probably some mix of Suffocate and/or Rindra's Choice, depending on what matchup's you're facing.
benjamin Eternal Version: 1.46.6
Definitely not Suffocate since it is an odd number CMC
latisansklay Eternal Version: 1.46.6
Doh! Just brain-farted and didn't think about the rest of the deck. Yes, agreed.
Thatresolves Eternal Version: 1.46.6
too many brain for me :(
amiableMortician Eternal Version: 1.46.6
Quick question does Tend The Flock count as 3 or 4 cards for Witching Hour?
NoOneEver Eternal Version: 1.46.6
its 4 , 1 for the spell and 1 for each sheep
amiableMortician Eternal Version: 1.46.6
Thank you!
b1naryw0rld Eternal Version: 1.46.6
Just ran into this deck on ladder. Amazing list! Good job.
Eternion Eternal Version: 1.46.6
i love it
theovermaster Eternal Version: 1.46.6
This is by far the most fun I have had in Eternal in a long time. It's also surprisingly very powerful - feels as control as control can be with a busted card draw engine.
CaptainCrowbar Eternal Version: 1.46.6
What a fun deck! I had my opponent expend their entire hand removing all the horsemen, just to reread it and play it again for 0 power next turn (followed by them conceding). I think I had 7+ cards in hand for the entirety of the match.
bassoonbuffoon Eternal Version: 1.46.6
this is insane i love it
ThousandMoods Eternal Version: 1.46.6
Wow! This deck is really fun to play. Another masterpiece by isomorphic!

... but I keep loosing ranks with this deck ;)
TheThreadWeaver Eternal Version: 1.46.6
When I go on my campaign to annihilate all Even Golem decks, yours is the only one I will spare.
