I'll analyze the performance difference between Esper Goryo's Vengeance decks with and without Ketramose in Modern. Let me start by searching for the card and archetype.
Let me try some variations of the archetype name:
Let me check what archetypes are available in Modern and search for anything related to Goryo's:
Great! Now let me analyze the "goryo reanimator" archetype and compare decks with and without Ketramose. Since Ketramose was first printed in February 2025, I'll look at recent data:
Now let me check for Ketramose adoption in this archetype and compare performance:
Let me also check the average number of Ketramose copies in decks that play it:
Now let me get some recent tournament sources for citation:
Based on the tournament data from Modern Goryo Reanimator decks since Ketramose's release in February 2025, there's a notable but small performance difference between builds with and without the card.
Decks with Ketramose show a slightly higher winrate of 44.7% (385 wins, 358 losses) across 145 tournament entries, compared to 43.8% (355 wins, 368 losses) for decks without Ketramose across 171 entries. The difference is marginal - less than 1 percentage point - suggesting that Ketramose adoption is more of a meta choice than a clear performance upgrade.
Ketramose adoption in the archetype is significant, with 145 out of 316 total entries (45.9%) including the card since its release. When played, it typically appears as 1-2 copies in the main deck (1.76 average) with some builds also running 1-2 copies in the sideboard. This split adoption pattern indicates the community is still evaluating Ketramose's optimal role in the deck, with no clear consensus on whether it's a core component or situational inclusion.
