    Once Ketramose has been declared as an attacker or blocker, it will continue to attack or block that combat even if the number of cards in exile falls below seven.

  • 2025-02-07

    The ability that prevents Ketramose from attacking or blocking counts the total number of cards in exile, regardless of who owns them or how they were exiled.
