Ketramose Exile by ChungyT

Format: Commander

Commander: Ketramose, the New Dawn

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Orzhov exile-matters value deck that converts every trip to exile into raw cards. Ketramose, the New Dawn is simultaneously the engine, the finisher, and the reason the deck holds together: each blink, each exile-removal, and each graveyard-exile effect set in motion during your turn draws a card, so removal and card draw are the same act. The commander's indestructible 4/4 body sits behind a seven-card exile threshold that the deck routinely blows past. Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, Eldrazi Displacer, Flickerwisp, Restoration Angel, and the mass-flicker suite (Another Round, Semester's End, Lae'zel's Acrobatics) multiply tokens and ETB triggers, while Corpse Knight, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, and Massacre Wurm convert the board into table-wide reach. The primary win is a slow, grindy combat/drain kill: the deck out-values the table, then beats it down behind a wall of instant-speed exile removal.
