Only for Hogaak to be sacrificed again with Dredge Return The scourge of modern can come onto the battlefield, the creature that never dies, with this setup, the tapping of the Zombies and the Delving of 5 useless spells.
Now the Narcomeoba needs to die so that it can turn into a 2 2/2 Black Zombie with Bridge from Below and Magus of the Bridge. Now there are only a few hoops that we need to jump through to get that third creature on the same turn and, to do that the Narcomeoba must DIE! So to cast Dread Return there need to be creatures to sacrifice, which is surprisingly easy considering a near guarantee that Narcomeoba will be milled and will enter the battlefield. With the best of the Three being Dread Return.ĭread Return is the go-to reanimation spell in the deck with a near-guaranteed ability to cast it when the deck is put into the graveyard. So, step one you need to reanimate something from the graveyard and since this is a graveyard-focused reanimation spells with flashbacks are the best way to bring stuff back. There are a few “routes” that the deck can take to win. Assuming that the entire deck is in the graveyard with either Undercity informer, Balustrade Spy, or with the dredge cards (Those are coming up a bit later). There is a linear route that this takes but, there are a few routes that the said path can take. These three cards in this deck function as a one-card combo with both Undercity Informer, Hermit Druid, and Balustrade Spy milling the entire Library into the graveyard which is a place that baring disruption from the opponent the deck is always able to win from. Now there is a deck-building reason for this, as it lets a few cards that otherwise seem downright terrible and changes them into game-winning bombs. This is where the MDFCs from Zendikar risings come in, This deck doesn’t run a single “land” instead of running 28 of the MDFCs. So to make a “manaless” dredge work we need to run zero lands… well at least zero real lands. However, if we twist the definition, we can make this work. Now to be completely transparent you can’t make a deck that works completely like the Legacy Manaless Dredge in commander. This led me down a dark path with one single goal. A deck that broke all the rules, A deck that didn’t need any lands to work and, A deck that was unique to all other decks in magic. The card has been widely used to fuel cards requiring discard and specifically discard of lands such as Solitary Confinement, Seismic Assault and Retrace cards such as Raven's Crime.There are few decks that have captured my interest more than the Legacy deck Manaless Dredge.
It was also widely used to regrow other utility lands like Wasteland and Cephalid Coliseum. In combination with Onslaught cycling lands it is regrowable at instant speed and Onslaught fetch lands it gives color stability. Life from the Loam works as an engine producing additional targets for itself when dredging. The dredge card Life from the Loam has since its release found widespread tournament use fueling a wide array of decks. As more graveyard payoffs and discard enablers were printed, Dredge decks become mainstays of all Eternal formats - Prized Amalgam and Creeping Chill in Modern, Bridge from Below and Breakthrough in Legacy, and Bazaar of Baghdad and Serum Powder in Vintage. The Extended Friggorid deck was a common deck archetype built around this mechanic. Such decks work best with cards with high dredge values, such as Golgari Grave-Troll and Stinkweed Imp. A famous deck based on Ichorid originated from this concept. One of the most popular uses of dredge is to use it to quickly fill your graveyard.
