If you put a large number of dredge creatures in your deck and Bridge from Below, then you can do ridiculous things like the following:

The traditional use of dredge and why it's so feared/infamous, is the interaction between dredge and Bridge from Below. If both are in your graveyard, then in place of your normal draw for the turn, you can return Dakmor Salvage to your hand, put the top card of your library in your graveyard, then discard the Dakmor Salvage to pay the Retrace cost on Raven's Crime, giving you a repeatable discard engine.

If you have a card with Dredge N in your graveyard, then any time you would draw a card, you can choose to, instead, return the card with Dredge to your hand and put the top N cards into your graveyard.Ī relatively innocuous use of dredge is Raven's Crime plus Dakmor Salvage. A Standard today today that uses Grisly Salvage to make Nemesis of Mortals better could be called a dredge deck. Legacy dredge decks might use dredge to get started, but might actually win by putting Grim Return or Unburial Rites in the graveyard, which can be cast from there, to put an Angel of Serenity or something even bigger on the battlefield.ĭredge is also the name of a deck archetype that might or might not use actual cards with dredge, as long as they use the graveyard as a resource to get virtual card advantage and/or ahead of the curve. However, in Legacy and other nonrotating formats, people quickly figured out that it's a good way to fill up your graveyard, which is powerful. It was probably originally intended as a way to recur cards: dredge creatures don't stay dead permanently, dredge instants and sorceries can be reused, etc. ' 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.' So if you're going to draw a card while a card with dredge is in your graveyard, you can choose to replace the draw with putting the card with dredge in your hand and putting a certain number of cards from the top of your library into your graveyard.

That is a breakdown of what dredge is typically used in.ĭredge is a mechanic originally printed in the original Ravnica set. The deck runs 0 lands and relies on graveyard creatures to play a more aggro/midrange game. The other deck is much more complex and I won't go too in depth but it usually involves discarding as soon as possible and dredging. Literally capable of killing someone before they even get to play anything. At this point you flashback dread return by sacing the mebas and re-animate the zealot.Īnd that is a turn 1 kill. Narcomeba, Bridge from below, Flame-kin Zealot, 1 Dread Return, and several creatures.ĭepending on what order this stuff gets milled in, you will hopefully end up with 3 narcomeba (from their own effect) and several zombies (from bridge from below). If you are lucky that will mill the following cards in multiples. It has the ability to put 31 cards into your grave with Golgari Grave-Troll.

Then you can use the mana from LED to flashback looting and dredge twice more. When faithless looting goes to resolve you can dredge twice and then discard the cards you dredged for.

In response crack LED for red and discard your hand. Mountain, LED, tap mountain for faithless looting. The biggest combo is probably the following. Dredge decks use this to 'combo off' so to speak. this card is a 0 mana artifact that you can tap, sacrifice, discard your hand, and lets you float 3 mana of a color. Manaless dredge being a budget and popular one, and LED being another one. r/magicTCG is not produced, endorsed, supported by, or affiliated with Wizards of the Coast.Īs the above commenters covered what it is as a mechanic, here is what it is as a deck.ĭredge (in legacy) has several forms.
