Bojuka Bog, because we want to remove the GY right now and think that this buys us enough time. However if putrid imp is out there it might only give us 1 turn... also we we wish for bojuka, we have to play it this turn, because if not we allow the dredge player to finish the game next turn or somehow prepare for his gy to be removed..

Faerie Macabre, because we want to react in his turn and we think removing two cards is enough, altough he knows we have the Faerie?
Which cards would you remove typically? (wait for dread return or remove his only 2 dredgers when playing breakthrough?

...something completely different?

I havent played that much vs dredge and I have no experience using wish to disrupt dredge.
Do you have input for me?
You shouldn't have much of a problem racing dredge. If you see that you can't, well, the only really good defense against dredge tends to be MD defense. But you shouldn't judge the matchup as what to do if you see that you are going to lose, you should think about the likelihood that this will occur. I've boarded in crypts against dredge a bunch of times, and never even had to use them, so I just stopped putting them in the board.
