Cathartic Reunion is especially important as it allows you to first discard some Dredge cards from your hand, and then draw cards, but replacing each draw with Dredge 3, 4, or 5. Cathartic Reunion and Faithless Looting are the best cards in the deck for achieving this. The deck has a powerful engine to help accelerate its primary goal of flooding the board with creatures. This horde of creatures, which amasses more quickly than you might expect, is what you'll use to win the game. As more and more cards fill your graveyard, creatures begin to rise up from the grave like Narcomoeba and Bloodghast, bringing along their zombie friend Prized Amalgam. This, however, is the primary goal of the deck: to put as many cards into your own graveyard as quickly as possible. This may seem a bit odd as each time you would draw a card you are instead filling up your graveyard with more and more cards. Instead of drawing a card for your turn, you would choose to "dredge" cards back from the grave by putting cards from your library into your graveyard. On the surface, the general goal of the deck is to take advantage of the Dredge mechanic on cards such as Stinkweed Imp and Life from the Loam. If you've never played against the deck before, you might not notice at first how the deck plays out turn-after-turn and how to actually win games. The Modern Dredge deck is a very curious combination of Magic the Gathering cards. Here is the full main deck and sideboard that I registered at the event. I'm using the word "play" loosely here, as often times it doesn't feel like playing Magic, since you aren't exactly drawing cards or casting spells like a normal deck. Instead, I chose to play Dredge! It's a deck that I've been wanting to play at a large event for some time but I just never committed to registering until now.ĭredge is one of my favorite Magic the Gathering mechanics, not necessarily because it's incredibly powerful but rather because it offers a different want to play and win a game of Magic. This event was a special one for me as I decided to play something other than Lantern Control or one of my many other brews. It was a very well run event with an excellent judge staff and plenty of space to play Magic and do side events. Hello friends! This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending Grand Prix Phoenix.
