Commander: Ketramose, the New Dawn

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ketramose, the New Dawn is an Orzhov exile-value deck that turns graveyard and battlefield exile triggers into cards, then attacks with an indestructible, lifelinking God once seven cards are in exile. The primary plan is to use Rest in Peace, Skyclave Apparition, Grasp of Fate, and blink effects to reach that count while drawing extra cards; Light of Promise or Cradle of Vitality converts Ketramose's lifelink into +1/+1 counters for a lethal commander-damage clock. Secondary paths include Bolas's Citadel card advantage, Starscape Cleric life-drain, and graveyard-recursion engines from Ghost Vacuum, Emperor of Bones, and Chaos Shrine. Tinybones, Bauble Burglar with Bottomless Pit and Painful Quandary adds a hand-attrition axis. There is no infinite combo; the deck wins incrementally.
