Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Orzhov combo-control engine commanded by Ketramose, the New Dawn. Ketramose turns every exile event from graveyards or the battlefield during your turn into card draw at the cost of 1 life. By combining Ketramose with Planar Void and a free discard creature like Putrid Imp or Tireless Tribe, the deck creates a continuous draw loop that sifts through the entire library. It converts drawn cards into massive black mana via Skirge Familiar or Priest of Gix and closes out the table in a single turn using a lethal Exsanguinate. In the early turns, the deck uses low-cost mana rocks, tax pieces like Blind Obedience, and premier exile removal such as Swords to Plowshares and Solitude to control the tempo of the game. Proactive protection pieces like Grand Abolisher and Silence ensure the combo turn proceeds without interference.
