Do you mulligan a lot for Chrome Mox? It seems like there is almost no other way to get a Turn 1 play with this deck. It is either Chrome Mox + (hopefully) Sol Land, Sol Land + Jitte or Chalice, or...

There would be other exceptions as well. Cards templated like Currency Converter, for example:
{T}: Put a card exiled with Currency Converter into your graveyard. If it’s a land card, create a...

It was largely Reanimator, but other combo decks like Mystic Forge and Painter were there. You...

It is tough now for control because combo and tempo have gotten so many new toys. Hopefully there is a little bit of relief with the ban announcement in a few weeks. Unfortunately, I feel like it...
Here is a video of StrassDaddy playing MOST with pettdan.

I like the idea! Prized Amalgam could be considered if you do end up splashing some blue.
Here is a recent list by The Dredge Guy (Mahfuz Van Gogh) that he has had a lot of success with. It is a bit of a combination of some of the different styles he has been trying. You can watch it...
Dredge has no room for a 3-mana spell in Legacy or Modern.
Dread Return has better targets (Satoru, the Infiltrator, Duskana, the Rage Mother, Ox of Agonas, and Ashen Rider are the more common...
If you are going GSZ and Field of the Dead, I feel like Dryad Arbor should be in the deck somewhere. I would probably run it over Bristly Bill, Spine Sower. In addition to the normal uses with GSZ,...
The difference between Bauble and those cards is that it is a low cost card to slip into a deck. At worst, it is a 2 mana colorless card that replaces itself. At best, it can shut down huge parts...
I think a lot of decks will run it. The fact that the owner can turn it off for 1 mana and also get a draw out of it breaks the symmetry of the effect some.
Looking at the most recent MtGTop8 MTGO League (https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=55647&f=LE), here are the cards that would get stopped by this:
Reanimator: 4 Grief, 4 Unmask, 4 Lotus Petal
Rhinos: 4...
I think 14 lands is pretty close to correct, though I sometimes play with 15. I don't think having more than 15 lands improves the deck.
MahfuzvanGogh (TheDredgeGuy) has been brewing with Satoru, the Infiltrator.
"Control"
4 Cephalid Coliseum
2 Island
2 Underground Sea
1 Undercity Sewers
1 Polluted Delta
1 Misty Rainforest
I think Up the Beanstalk and Simulacrum Synthesizer show that "do nothing" enchantments with repeatable effects are powerful. Now, both of those cards do have an effect when they come into play. ...
https://mtgtop8.com/search has both a format and a date feature in the search. You will be able to see the lists for tons of tournaments from almost every period of the game's history in whatever...
I think something like this would work. Worldgorger Dragon + Surveil lands is amazing. Eye of Duskmantle may be winmore, but I like the idea of using surveil cards to both set up draws and get...
MahfuzVanGogh has been tinkering with what he calls Turbo Dredge and is over 70% with it across a pretty large number of games.
Turbo Dredge
Dredgers (11)
4 Golgari Grave-Troll
4 Stinkweed...
It pitches to FoW, which most targets do not (except Atraxa).
However, I don't see how this deck really wins. It doesn't seem like it can go very fast, and the creatures are limited. It has a...
I play Otherworldly Dredge, and I don't think this makes the cut. There are other 2 mana spells that I would run over this. The spells for Dredge need to be 1 mana. Otherworldly Gaze's 2 mana...
However, it is only one card per discard effect. So you get 1 card from Faithless Looting, not 2. A comparable creature is Containment Construct, but it gives you the cards that you discard, and...
PunishingWaterfalls played a version of the list here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWRolbb_j9g
MahfuzVanGogh has been tinkering with the build and has moved to a control-heavy dredge list with which he is 18-2 across his last 4 leagues.
Blue Gaze
Dredgers
4 Golgari Grave-Troll

I think there are some positives to Bowmasters. First, it is 2 mana, and black, so it is much easier to cast (both from Moxen and from Dark Ritual). It is much easier to have a turn one that casts...
