You just don't want to have the magus.

You playtested (or goldfished) LEDless? You simply don't need DA in this build, it's crap without LED. In Ledless-Dredge you need exactly these Draw-Effects: 4 Breakthrough, 3-4 Study, 4 Coliseum ( I would prefer four of each)
4 troll, stinkweed, thug, pimp, breakthrough, study, therapy, city, mine, coliseum, moeba, shadow, bridge
3 tribe, Dreturn
1 iona, fkz

I added 4 study after I noticed my deck only had 56 cards in it. Im prolly missing a previously extirpated card, but well see. Magus became tribes due to studies. I've been goldfishing, almost strictly. Played a few games against Aeon bridge, but I refuse to play against my brothers deck with MD leylines. So, I goldfish.

I know the list looks horrible. I posted it from my phone this morning before I left for work
