Manaless Dredge is more like The Epic Storm, much more likely to win on one turn but more glass cannon, while LED Dredge is much more like Ad Nauseam Tendrils, a little bit slower and much less likely to win on turn one but also much more reliable. The differences between the two types of Dredge are much like the differences between the two types of Storm decks. There are two types of Legacy Dredge: Lion’s Eye Diamond dredge and Manaless Dredge. Since Legacy Dredge is the one that I most familiar with, let’s start with this one this week.
#CREATURES WITH DREDGE HOW TO#
This week I thought I’d start a series where I slowly dive into each version of Dredge and how to play against them a little bit deeper. Once double sleeved will be hard to tell the difference from a real Magic card!Įmail seller for any questions.A few weeks ago I wrote a quick overview of the Dredge mistress (or monster depending who you are). These are great proxies for casual play or FNM tournament play. Which makes it the same thickness and feel as a real Magic card.

Another good way to deal with dredge is to make sure that any dead creatures stay dead forever, whilst also building up a board presence: Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet fills this role. Rest in Peace, Relic of Progenitus, Grafdigger’s Cage, Scavenging Ooze, and Anafenza, the Foremost are particularly noted for this. The best way to attack dredge is simply to take away their graveyard. Exile spells like Path to Exile can, however, be potent. The first thing to notice is obviously that removal spells like Terminate are not going to achieve a lot against a deck that can reanimate its creatures a seemingly infinite number of times. Finally, dredge also often plays Conflagrate as a card that can be flashed back from the graveyard whilst also filling it with threats, and Life from the Loam as another filler that can also recur lost lands.


The key reanimating creatures are Narcomoeba, Bloodghast and prizedamalgam. The key graveyard-fillers are Tormenting Voice, Faithless Looting and Insolent Neonate, along with Golgari Grave-Troll and Stinkweed Imp. As quickly as the second turn the dredge player can start reanimating these creatures and populating the board. The presence of Prized Amalgam in the graveyard means that each Bloodghast reanimation also brings along a friend. The presence of Bloodghast in the graveyard means that each land the dredge player plays results in a creature being reanimated. Typically dredge will open with an Insolent Neonate or Faithless Looting on the first turn which enables it to start throwing cards away. The heart of the deck really lies in the quick way in which it can fill its own graveyard with cards like Stinkweed Imp or Faithless Looting and then creatures that are able to be reanimated from this position. Dredge is notable among decks for its concerted effort to throw as many of its own cards as possible into its own graveyard, which might seem exceedingly counterproductive, but actually results in a terrifyingly potent deck.
