[Deck] Dredge

[iPhael]

I have a question regarding Hollywoods and iPhaels lists. Though I fully understand the choice of Ashen Ghoul over Nether Shadow in the Quadlaserlists due to their grindy/beatdown structure, I fail to understand why both of you use Ashen Ghoul over Nether Shadow in your more comboish Versions.

Are there Situation where the DR Package is boarded out and the Ashen Ghoul beatdown is needed?

Also your Decklists a light on lands after Boarding. 9 Goldlands and 2 Ghouls vs 11 Goldlands and 3 Ghouls in Quadlaser postboard.

How does it play out for you? And is Nether Shadow a serious consideration for you two?

Greetings and Thx in advance

Hollywood can probably answer this in more detail, but in short: As it was said earlier, the choice boils down to how many lands you play. With 8 gold lands and none in the board (ala Quadlazer), Nether Shadow is the correct choice. For me, 2 Ghoul is perfect because I really don't want to hit multiples as I can really only ever reliably return one a turn. His power is very relevant as well; as against grindy matches like stoneblade, that 3 power can make or break you. He also trades with Delvers, Mongeese, Hatebears, and Mystics, which can be helpful.

Edit: Beaten haha.
