Deck overview

Ketramose, the New Dawn commands an Orzhov control deck centered on exile mechanics. The deck aims to deploy Ketramose on Turn 3 and follow with cheap, repeatable exile engines such as Lion Sash, Unlicensed Hearse, Planar Void, or Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd. Because Ketramose draws a card whenever cards enter exile during your turn, it provides steady card advantage while filling the exile zone to unlock its 4/4 indestructible menace lifelink body. The list pairs this engine with a dense suite of flexible exile removal like Grasp of Fate, Anguished Unmaking, and Skyclave Apparition. To solidify its defense, the deck attaches Pariah or With Great Power . . . to indestructible Ketramose, redirecting all incoming damage while grinding down opponents through combat and stolen threats from Shelob, Dread Weaver. Although it lacks stack interaction and explosive combo finishes, its resilient attrition engine steadily outvalues fair strategies.
