[Deck] Dredge

[Vandalize]

Hi everybody, I am new on the forum, but I read the Dredge's Topic since sometimes.
I play the deck in France and I have few questions for you about some specificities.

First of all, this is my deckbuild.



As you seen it, this is classical list of LED-Dredge, quite similar to Vandalize's one, but as he said really strong and stable.

The presence of 2 Darkblasts Maindeck is mainly for Merfolk, and I prefer it than Firestorm because it is recursive and really strong at the 1st game, and open to more Sideboard options at the 2nd &/or 3rd game.

But I have many questions to Dredge players (and you ReAnimator).

1- Inside my build I dithering to do 11 dredgers and 3 Deep Analysis to gain rapidity against some decks like HiveMind for example.

2- ReAnimator, I use Sun Titan like a new River Kelpie to be faster, but are you fizzling with more than 1 slot and with your Bloodghasts ?

3- In a Combo metagame, I have 4 Winds of Change in my SB, I tried to use it unsuccessfully against HiveMind, what is your SB solution against this deck ?

To answer your question igri_is_a_bk, against Merfolk, I exit the DreadReturn plan and insert my 4th Ichorid, 3rd Darkblast and +2 Ancient Grudge, and for me it is always quite well.

Sup pal. First of all, I'd like to say that LED lists are awsome, and you're in the right path.

And there are just a few comments I'd make to your list, because it's pretty solid, indeed:

Those 3 Darkblasts in the 75 seems wrong for me when playing LED lists. The whole point of LED is turning Dredge into a straight-foward combo and making the whole engine a turn faster. That said, I'd strongly recommend cutting them from the 75, as the only thing you should really care about is graveyard hate.

I'd also add a singleton Flame-kin Zealot in the main deck. That Woodfall Primus is really nice, but he belongs in sideboard. The explanation is already written above: with LED, you only care resolving your combo, and not disrupting anything on game 1.

Your sideboard is pretty nice, I liked it. Leyline of Sanctity is arguable the best card in your sideboard. It's a free way to deal with grave-hate/discard without drawbacks. BUT, you should never mulligan to it, unless your hand is really unkeepable.

Another thing I'd like to say is that 4 Wispmare is way too much, since you only have 8 white-mana Lands, which is a little low to devote 4 slots to a single hate.

And tell me more about your Merfolk matchup, please. I've been playing LED lists for a while, and it was pretty hard to lose to a Merfolk, since they can't really remove my Bridges aside from Cursecatcher, can't landwalk us, and play weak grave-hate (a.k.a Relic/Surgical Extraction). Of course, they can draw godlike into multiple Lords + some permission, but that's not really the case, since they don't have library manipulation.
