Commander: Ketramose, the New Dawn

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Orzhov flicker deck centers on Ketramose, the New Dawn as a repeatable card-draw engine, triggering whenever cards are exiled from graveyards or the battlefield during your turn. The primary plan is to deploy low-cost life-gain creatures (Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, Hinterland Sanctifier), then flicker them repeatedly with spells like Ephemerate and creatures like Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd to accumulate life and trigger payoffs such as Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Marauding Blight-Priest, and Cliffhaven Vampire. The deck also uses exile-based removal and graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Dauthi Voidwalker) to disrupt opponents while advancing its own value engine. Wins are achieved through incremental life-drain from Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Obzedat, Ghost Council, or combat with a growing Karlov of the Ghost Council.
