Ketramose Flicker Control
Ketramose, the New Dawn Commander Deck
Ketramose, the New Dawn rewards a strategy built around constantly exiling cards from graveyards and the battlefield, triggering its draw-and-drain ability repeatedly to generate card advantage while building toward the seven exile threshold needed to attack with an indestructible, lifelinked beater. The deck uses a dense web of flicker effects alongside graveyard hate artifacts and targeted exile removal to keep the exile count climbing and draw triggers flowing, while board control tools like mass removal and enter-the-battlefield debuffs shut down opponents until the deck assembles its finishers. Life gain from lifelink, Soul Warden effects, and extort fuels Karlov of the Ghost Council as a secondary threat, and when the board is stabilized, Moonshaker Cavalry can enter repeatedly via flicker effects to buff a token army into a lethal alpha strike, with Approach of the Second Sun offering a further alternate win condition on the back of all the life gained.
