Ketramose Edges Out Teferi in Goryo's

Based on recent tournament data from the past month, here's the positioning of Ketramose vs Teferi in Goryo's Vengeance mainboards:

Ketramose vs Teferi Adoption:

Ketramose, the New Dawn:

• 46/82 decks (56.1% presence)
• 69 total copies (1.5 average per deck)
• Clear majority adoption as a reanimation target

Teferi, Time Raveler:

• 36/82 decks (43.9% presence)
• 37 total copies (1.0 average per deck)
• Minority but significant adoption

Analysis:

Ketramose is more positioned in the current meta:

• Higher presence by 12.2 percentage points
• More copies per deck when included (1.5 vs 1.0)
• Provides both a strong reanimation target and card advantage engine
• 3-mana cost makes it easier to hardcast when needed

Teferi remains relevant but in fewer lists:

• Strong tempo play and protection for the combo
• Single-copy inclusion suggests role as utility rather than primary threat
• May be meta-dependent based on control/interaction density

The data suggests the format has shifted toward Ketramose as the preferred 3-mana threat, likely due to its card advantage and indestructible body being more valuable than Teferi's tempo effects in current matchups.
