The Dark Art of Dredge Fu, by Richard Feldman. In Legacy, however, there are other ways to make the deck degenerate with the current card pool using cards such as Lion's Eye Diamond and Breakthrough to dredge basically through a massive chunk of your deck.įor reference, here is a list of some Legacy Dredge articles detailing its intricacies and chronicling its evolution over the years (there are obviously varying types of Dredge lists these articles are provided on the basis of understanding the archetype): In Vintage, the archetype gains an incredible amount of degeneracy and consistency with the powerful Bazaar of Baghdad. The archetype deploys a variety of angles of attack and primarily uses its graveyard as a virtual "toolbox" - an incredibly potent strategy when you consider most cards that are being placed into your graveyard at an accelerated rate systematically provide you card advantage in so many different ways anyhow.ĭredge has certainly made its presence felt over the years since its debut in the Ravnica block years back in just about every competitive format - and has changed that much more. Dredge is a deck that bases its core strengths on having the advantage of not interacting with its opponents and overwhelming them with an incredibly large horde of the undead. Historically speaking, the Dredge mechanic has provided an incredible amount of controversy to competitive players around the world because of how degenerate it can truly be. "Skip " is the same as "Instead of doing, do nothing." You're simply replacing one action with another.) According to the Comprehensive Rules 419.6e: Skipping an action, step, phase, or turn is a replacement effect. ( Also understand that replacement effects offer no window for priority to be passed. What this means is assuming the Imp is in your graveyard, for every individual card you would draw you may replace one of those draws by placing the top five cards of your library into your graveyard - in any order you choose - and taking the Imp and returning it to your hand. The Imp dredges for a set amount of five (5). This event occurs for every individual draw, and the card with said ability will then go directly into its owner's hand.Ĭonsider we have a Stinkweed Imp, a long-time Dredge staple. In short, the Dredge mechanic is a Replacement Effect (a type of 'continuous' effect that watches for one event to happen and replaces it entirely with another event) that occurs when the owner of a card in a graveyard with Dredge opts to replace a single draw by putting a set number of cards - as indicated by the actual card with Dredge - from his or her library into their graveyard. One of the more notorious mechanics loved (and hated) by Magic players around the world is "Dredge," an ability attributed to the Golgari in the Ravnica block. Magic also has numerous mechanics - abilities and terms indicated on specific cards (sometimes generalized within a block of sets) that usually encapsulate a theme of some sort. There are so many different types of decks - especially in Legacy - where the card pool is incredibly vast and so many different viable combinations of cards and colors exist. Magic is a complex game that is primarily focused on interacting with an opponent(s) and involves critical thinking and important decisions in order to establish an advantage in order to ultimately achieve victory. Keep in mind that switching one card can mess up the entire workings of some versions." "Ichorid is as much a Combo deck as anything, so every single card choice should be scrutinized.
