Kethis, the Hidden Hand

Kethis, the Hidden Hand Commander Deck

Kethis, the Hidden Hand leads a legendary-matters engine that uses cost reduction from multiple sources to flood the board with legendary permanents, fueling a graveyard recursion loop where Kethis exiles fallen legends to replay others directly from the graveyard. The deck fills its graveyard aggressively through self-mill effects and tutors like Buried Alive, then uses Kethis's ability alongside recursive creatures and permanents like Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle to repeatedly cycle key pieces back into play. The primary win condition is assembling an infinite or near-infinite loop using Altar of Dementia alongside the graveyard recursion engine to mill all opponents out, supported by mana-generating legendary permanents that keep the engine running at minimal cost.
