    Re: [Primer] Dredge

    Unfortunately, the short answer is "it depends", both on your build, the matchup, and the texture of the game so far. However, some general ideas (hopefully some are helpful to you):

    Re: [Primer] +Manaless Dredge+

    Re: looping Hogaaks - you can, but it doesn't do damage because Hogaak enters off the stack when cast, not the graveyard.

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    Just to ensure I'm not missing something, how does Of One Mind get enabled with just a Noble? The cost reduction requirement requires both a Human creature (which Noble is) and a non-Human creature...

    I also do :)



    Agreed that a big win of companions for us is the secret mode of never planning on casting it - it might make hand disruption better g1 as their kept hands may be clunkier than...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    My gut feeling is that Breach isn't for us; we only have significant gy fuel _after_ we've comboed, so if we're playing it as post-combo protection, it adds 2 (and a color!) to our combo turn, which...

    Re: [Deck] T.E.S. - The EPIC Storm

    Just a quick thing - I agree with you that discard's likely better against most decks g1 over Chain, but Chain can allow for some trickier plays with Talisman by bouncing it after wishing, making it...

    Re: [Primer] Dredge

    Also, remember that Hogaak is still castable through Priest, so it's not nearly the concern it used to be :)

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    If this is for saying "I have none of my 8 win conditions in hand and am casting a Once Upon a Time, what's the probability I hit at least one win-con", that's not quite right; you can sanity-check...

    Re: [Primer] +Manaless Dredge+

    For the second question, unfortunately the answer is no - Lotleth Giant's trigger is an etb trigger, which means it only goes on the stack once it's fully left the graveyard and entered the...

    Mm, I hadn't thought about Leyline, although we still lose to Stifle because they can just stifle the Spy trigger, right? (Of course, we have a chance to rebuild in that case - I don't play the deck...

    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    Definitely feels like it, yeah - this allows us to cut down to just one card for the combo package, right? Is there any reason to run Garna/angel/etc over this?

    Re: [Primer] Dredge

    I think it's definitely reasonable to have DR on the play and Gravestone on the draw in some matchups :) I'd just think about it more generally as "what will be my gameplan in this game?" For quite...

    Ooh, that's an interesting take on things :) I think my biggest worry would be frequency of casting "important" spells - only 4 sources to cast Faithless/Firestorm seems low. Maybe consider Hapless...

    At a guess, I'd say Therapies? I don't see a similar replacement, like other lists that eschew the card (although the only recent case I can remember for that was when the pilot admitted it was an...

    Re: [Primer] Dredge

    Not Orim (please correct me if I'm wrong), but the big reason is that a lot of these grindy decks play things like Spell Pierce and Flusterstorm; creature enablers dodge these very easily :)
