Commander: Ketramose, the New Dawn

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Orzhov deck, helmed by Ketramose, the New Dawn, is a grindy exile-and-blink value engine. The entire 99 is built to put cards into exile - from graveyards and the battlefield - to trigger Ketramose's draw ability, turning every Ephemerate, Bojuka Bog, and Relic of Progenitus into raw card advantage. A dense blink package (Cloudshift, Restoration Angel, Conjurer's Closet) re-triggers ETBs for value, while graveyard hate doubles as both disruption and fuel for the god's attack condition (7+ cards in exile). The deck wins incrementally: Gray Merchant of Asphodel devotion drain, Exsanguinate, Massacre Wurm triggers, and commander damage from the indestructible 4/4 menace lifelinker. It is a classic midrange value deck that out-cards opponents over long games rather than racing to a fast combo.
