Deck overview

This is an Orzhov enchantment-control deck helmed by Ketramose, the New Dawn, built around a simple but powerful engine: every exile effect doubles as card draw. The deck runs nearly twenty "Oblivion Ring"-style enchantments - Banishing Light, Grasp of Fate, Quarantine Field, Leyline Binding, and friends - each of which removes a permanent and, because it exiles on your turn, triggers Ketramose to draw a card. Graveyard hate like Rest in Peace, Bojuka Bog, and Soul-Guide Lantern feeds the same engine while denying opponents their recursion. The deck wins through attrition: Psychosis Crawler turns every Ketramose draw into table-wide damage, Exsanguinate closes out with a large X, and Ketramose himself becomes a lethal voltron threat with All That Glitters and Ethereal Armor once seven or more cards sit in exile. It is a grindy, removal-dense control deck that wins by out-valuing the table.
