[Deck] Dredge

[joemauer]

I'd recommend SBing Nether Shadows game 1, they don't really contribute to the speed of the deck without Phantasmagorian and you really want to play the 4th Careful Study and 11th land. Also I'm 100% against Putrid Imp over Phantasmagorian for that matter, playing Putrid Imp is just asking to lose to Force of Will and Daze unecessarily by interacting when you snouldn't.

Putrid Imp is a flying Carnophage.
He attracts swords to plowshares to him, and away from our ichorids and grave trolls.
He keeps ichorid fed and healthy.
He is one of the best tools we have for fighting crypt or relic.
So what if he gets countered, LED dredge can cast so much bustedness in one turn that we lots of times want him countered and not our key draw spell.
What does phantasgorian do so much better?

The only reason I would cut Putrid Imp from my deck is if I was cutting black all together.
