Outside Ravnica, Dredge has only been printed in Future Sight's Dakmor Salvage. With this the card can fuel other cards such as Solitary Confinement, Seismic Assault or Retrace cards such as Raven's Crime. However, the most popular Dredge card is Life from the Loam which itself can refuel easily expendable land cards such as Cycling Lands or Fetchlands and put more of those lands into the graveyard using Dredge. With the ability to mill the own deck, this mechanic has become highly popular various tournament formats enabling decks with Ichorid, Bridge from Below and Psychatog. If a player draws a card and a card with Dredge is in the graveyard, the player may choose to instead put the top X cards from his or her library into his or her graveyard and return the card with Dredge to his or her hand. I also want to try out ] as an alternative to ], as we can sac it to draw from the grave.It is the ability of the Golgari Guild in Ravnica: City of Guilds and usually worded as 'Dredge '. Here's an example list: Otherworldly Dredge Other alternatives are ] and ] which draw cards, but their 2 cmc is rather off-putting. It's a T1 play and the most important thing is it has Flashback, so we can always do something with it if we mill it by dredging. They're similar to ] as it mills 6 cards for a one card investment. What we need is more consistency.Īfter looking up alternatives I stumbled over ] and ]. My problem with it is it's dead when you get a rough start. Don't get me wrong I think it's good when you get a good opener and can fire it off T2/3. I don't really think so as exiling 8 cards is a steep cost to pay. You might argue that ] makes up for that. What I always liked about looting was that you could use it from the grave if your hand is dead, whereas neither merchant or inquiry do anything in the grave. After I took a longer break from Modern itt came to my attention that people are playing ] and ] as replacements for ] since it got the hammer.
