If the opponent has an answer or you fail to find a hate card, you’re a huge underdog.Īnd against Dredge, you need to find that hate card quickly. That means you’ll have to draw your hate cards in both sideboard games to consistently win the matchup, and that’s against an opponent who’s prepared for your hate. On a fundamental level, if you’re relying on hate cards to win any matchup, you’re essentially conceding Game 1. This is a poor approach to the matchup for several reasons. Dredge has a reputation as a deck that’s miserable to play against, which causes many players to skimp on testing against it and rely on their hate cards to do the heavy lifting against a linear deck. Many players are going to react in a very predictable way: adding a few more copies of their preferred graveyard hate card and calling it a day. Being that Dredge is the Modern deck that I have the most experience with, here’s my advice for how to prepare for the upcoming sea of Stinkweed Imps and Conflagrates. Creeping Chill has not fundamentally altered the deck, merely allowed it to recoup some of the explosiveness it lost when Golgari Grave-Troll was rebanned. The ends may be different, but the system is much the same.That means it’s up to you to learn how to beat the deck. While dredge may take on a non-traditional form in EDH, it is definitely a possible archetype, if not for some work arounds. Additionally, with some careful politics, you may even be able to choose the card, through an opponent. While it may be at your opponent’s discretion, being able to bring back any spell to your hand, multiple times in a turn, is very powerful. Tasigur, the Golden Fang - $2.48 - Not only is it a, conditional, 4/5 for 1, it also mills and recurs spells. However, just be careful because it is useless unless you have a black creature in your bin. Ichorid - $2.62 - A staple of regular Dredge decks, it’s an incredibly powerful and repeatable beater that, can, be free. It’s like a more uselful Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. Additionally, it is a very powerful beater who can throw itself back into the graveyard if need be.
Golgari Grave-Troll - $12.11 - The hallmark of any dredge deck, as it can dredge the most of any card in magic. This is an incredible inclusion not having a reanimation spell on hand, can be crippling. Or, in a pinch, cast, and then flashed back. It has no mana cost, and it’s a reanimation spell that can be milled and still used. Throwing away a card every time may seem like a harsh cost, but being able to dig, then choose which is discard ensures that you will always be keeping the best of 4, or more, cards.ĭread Return - $0.86 - Dread Return is an auto include simply because of it’s flashback ability. Magus of the Bazaar - $1.27 - Basically Merfolk Looter of steroids, it allows for a greater dig, and multiple Dredge activation, every turn. It may not enable dredge, but works to the same end as Dredge. While it doesn’t do anything the turn you cast it, it can help fill your graveyard, and turns your first draw into a better Preordain, as putting cards in your graveyard is something that you will want to do. Sultai Ascendancy - $0.33 - I believe that Sultai Ascendancy is a very under rated card. At it’s heart, it’s a spell that digs and activates dredge, for ‘free’. Using the draw part to trigger the dredge ability and the discard part to throw the same spell away.įrantic Study - $0.55 - Frantic Study covers many of the same bases as merfolk looter, but does it all for free, and can, in some cases, net mana. Merfolk Looter - $0.20 - Merfolk Looter is a truly a solid inclusion and really helps to enable dredge cards. This is, however, greatly influenced by other Dredge decks Due to the low number of cards with dredge printed (probably for the best, tbh), the the ability to chain dredge creatures from a single draw spell is greatly lessened, however that does not make it impossible In stead, the focus needs to shift from chaining to drawing and discarding as much as possible, tied with self mill and resurrection spells. Request for in not a lot like Dredge in Modern or Legacy.
