Commander: Ketramose, the New Dawn

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ketramose, the New Dawn leads an Orzhov exile-and-drain control strategy that converts targeted removal, graveyard hate, and flicker effects into consistent card advantage. Ketramose draws cards whenever permanents or graveyard cards enter exile on your turn, fueling continuous resource flow. The deck grinds down opponents by stacking life-drain triggers from pieces like Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Starscape Cleric, and Kambal, Consul of Allocation. You close out games by chaining blink spells such as Ephemerate and Felidar Guardian onto Gray Merchant of Asphodel, overwhelming boards with Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, or funneling accumulated mana into a lethal Debt to the Deathless or Exsanguinate.
