![]() With this technique, Dredge can actually go through a whole game without casting a spell or using mana. Typically this is done against a control deck with a slow clock, as there is no way for the opponent to counter the Dredging. This means that you draw until you have 8 cards in hand (this works best when you go second and keep a 7 card hand), discard a Dredge card at end of turn, then during your own turn, Dredge. You don’t get to discard a card typically, but there is a technique called DDD, which stands for Draw, Discard, Dredge. These are typically the card draw cards that Dredge runs:īreakthrough is often seen as the most powerful one, as it draws 4 cards and discards the whole hand instead of the 1-for-1 draw/discard that the other draw spells offer, although the recent Faithless Looting has proven itself as a very powerful card.ĭrawing for the turn is also the other way that Dredge can mill itself. Some decks will run some other Dredge cards such as Darkblast, but the above 3 are the ones that are seen in every Dredge deck. Because Dredge only functions in the graveyard, you typically want cards that draw you cards, AND make you discard cards, so you can Dredge them again next turn. This is often achieved with cards that have a large Dredge N, and other cards that allow you to draw cards. ![]() And with Dredge, you want to mill as much cards as you can. “Dredge N” means “As long as you have at least N cards in your library, if you would draw a card, you may instead put N cards from the top of your library into your graveyard and return this card from your graveyard to your hand.” 702.50b A player with fewer cards in his or her library than the number required by a dredge ability can’t put any of them into his or her graveyard this way.īasically, what Dredge means is that “skip drawing a card, mill X cards”. Dredge 702.50a Dredge is a static ability that functions only while the card with dredge is in a player’s graveyard. ![]() Here are the relevant comprehensive rules for Dredge: 702.50. We’ll go over each element of Dredge individually. I will list some basic techniques with Dredge so you will be familiar with what they’re doing and why, but not detailed strategy to play this deck.ĭredge is a graveyard-based deck that focuses on the synergy between the Dredge mechanic and tons of other cards that do things while in the graveyard. One last note, this is more of just explaining WHAT Dredge does, not HOW to play Dredge this is more explanation than strategy. But if you saw his list and questioned what the deck even did, then here we go. This article is a primer on Dredge, of sorts - again if you already know why people were questioning Prosak’s list and his specific card choices, then this article isn’t for you. One minute the Dredge player lands a Putrid Imp, then they’re discarding their whole hand? And milling themselves? Wait what, now they’re attacking with 8 2/2s? What on earth just happened here? An odd choice for Prosak, and for newer players can be one of the most confusing decks to play against. The familiar Adam Prosak won the SCG Legacy Open: Cincinnati piloting none other than Dredge.
