It is a deck you should know how to play because when it is good, it is good.Ī quick aside, this deck is straight from SodekMTG. Dredge has won three of the last four Face to Face Games Edmonton Opens. Sounds like prey to me.ĭredge won the SCG Classic the weekend after the Faithless Looting ban. Putting a couple hate cards and calling it “good enough” leaves these decks mulliganing for hate at abysmal rates or more commonly trying to keep an okay hand and pray. If we give them 4 turns to draw it on the play, and an Opt to look 2 more cards that number only increases to 35%. They only have a 20% chance to have one of those cards in their opening hand.

Dredge thrives in a fair metagame where people aren’t playing very much hate (read: pretty much all the time) and it still doesn’t get the respect it deserves.įor example: Let’s say you’re 80% to beat some deck XYZ in game 1, and they have 2 pieces of dedicated hate for Dredge. There is no special prize for playing fair.

There is no honor in winning a match of Magic.
