    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    I feel like while people are generally playing only 2-3 pieces of hate, the ones that they are playing are game enders if we go the fearless route. If I'm not mistaken, the article was also written...

    I've been playing a ton of leagues lately with a purely reactive sideboard and been putting up some good results. Right now I'm 22-3 across the five leagues I've done. I think the reactive plan is...

    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    Mtggoldfish lists the deck for like $225, but I was able to shave a few bucks by shopping around and picking up foils where they were cheaper.

    The chains definitely feel better in those slots than...

    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    I'm playing the same list I ran at the GP, which is a modified Quadlazer build, with one exception.

    4 Stinkweed
    4 Thug
    4 Narco
    4 Ichorid
    2 Street Wraith
    2 Putrid Imp

    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    Joe, it was good to see you and Cody at the GP!

    I don't have a report for the GP, but I ended up doing fairly similar to Que, starting with two byes and losing the win and in to day 2 on some...

    Unless I'm totally messing up the interaction, doesn't the Ray go to the graveyard after it hits the RIP/Leyline? As long as we have it in hand, it seems like a decent enough answer.

    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    I'm not sure Iona in the MB is a good call. You will absolutely shut out any mono colored decks you play, but there's a significant portion of the metagame that just doesn't care about her. I only...

    I don't run Nature's Claim, personally, because there are much better options. Abrupt Decay hits every relevant piece of hate that you need it to without turning on your opponents counterspells, and...

    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    I took Dredge to a GPT last night and took the whole thing down. I've been running a similar list to Que the past couple of weeks.

    The event was 5 rounds of swiss with a cut to Top 8.

    Round 1 -...

    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    I picked up Dredge after a long break from it, and brought it to my local Saturday legacy. It was 12 people, four rounds, and I went 3-0-1, splitting in the finals.

    I was rocking a pretty standard...

    Is this still happening? The event disappeared from facebook and I don't see it on your website.


    Also, will there be endless drafts?

    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    I'm not playing any Firestorms or Darkblast, so it serves as anti-hate for Deathrite Shaman, as well as incidental hate on any other troublesome permanents (whether they're hate cards or not.)

    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    I think I'm going to cut a needle for the Deals Open. I frequently find myself only boarding in 3 or fewer. I'm not sure if I want to squeeze in the last Claim or use it as a flex slot yet.

    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    Nature's Claim hits cage as well as enchantment hate. We also shouldn't cut anti-hate for it.

    Like right now my board is

    4 Pithing Needle
    3 Nature's Claim
    2 Ashen Ghoul
    2 Tarnished Citadel...

    Re: [Deck] Manaless Ichorid

    This shouldn't work with Unmask or Shoal since you're exiling the card you pitch, not discarding it. Unless you're targeting yourself with Unmask? Either way, Shoal for sure doesn't work and 3 for...

    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    It's third ability is kind of a nonbo with all the dredgers and ichorids that you want to actually keep in the yard. And if you really want that second effect, play Ground Seal? It's awful though.

    Hi Corto,

    The ruling was made and appealed, then upheld by the HJ of the event, Arthur Halavais, who's a fairly prominent West Coast L2 (maybe L3 I'm not 100%).
