KETHIS GRAVESTORM cEDH

competitive edh deck

Version 1.0 - This is the first version and will be upgraded and updated over time. Feel free to leave any constructive criticism or comment on what you think about this deck!

There are many combos in this deck that can win the game on the spot. Our main combo involves dumping our whole library in the graveyard and comboing using Kethis' ability. The backup win involves using protean hulk. We are very vulnerable to graveyard hate so be careful and plan your turns accordingly. There are a few other backup combos that may leave the deck for more tutors and control cards.

---

Main Win With Kethis

1. Cast Kethis, the Hidden Hand (dont forget he makes legendaries cost 1 less)
2. send library to graveyard ; we can use Hermit Druid or Basalt Monolith + Mesmeric Orb
3. exile two legendary lands from the graveyard to activate Kethis' ability
4. play Gaea's Cradle from graveyard. Bloodghast triggers and comes into play
5. tap Gaea's Cradle to float two green mana
6. cast Mox Amber from the graveyard
7. use the two floating green and one white mana from mox amber to cast Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle
8. cast Hope of Ghirapur from your graveyard for free. Teshar's ability triggers, return Loyal Retainers to play

9. cast Mox Opal from the GY. Teshar's ability triggers, return Saffi Eriksdotter to play

10. Sacrifice Hope of Ghirapur to Cabal Therapy flashback, activate Kethis ability again by exiling any two legends and recast hope of ghirapur, triggering teshar again and bringing back Zulaport Cutthroat .

11. repeatedly sac and return saffi and loyal retainers which triggers the zulaport cutthroat for every loop you complete, winning the game.

Backup Protean Hulk Win

Since we don't have blue for Flash we'll have to use some reanimator tricks to cheat the hulk into play.

1. cast Entomb targeting Protean Hulk
2. Reanimate protean hulk
3. sacrifice the hulk to one of our sac outlets , Cabal Therapy flashback, or use a kill spell
4. with hulk dies trigger, search for Melira, Sylvok Outcast , Lesser Masticore , Disciple of the Vault and Viscera Seer
5. sacrifice the lesser masticore to the viscera seer. disciple of the vault triggers dealing one damage to an opponent. persist trigger on masticore sends it back to play, however melira prevents the counter from being added to it.
6. repeat step 5 until all opponents are dead.

---

Eternal Witness Combo

1. cast Phyrexian Altar
2. cast Eternal Witness
3. sacrifice the eternal witness to the phyrexian altar and float one black mana
4. cast Unearth using the floating black mana on the eternal witness. when eternal witness ETB effect triggers, return the unearth to your hand.
5. repeat steps 3 and 4 for infinite etb/ltb triggers
6. cast Bitter Ordeal exiling all opponents libraries
