Watching a Dredge deck in a paper game is interesting since they often open up their Graveyard in a way most decks don't.

In the Mana-Less strategy, choosing to go second is usually important since the deck wants to discard the first card to hand size and start the Dredge from there.Ĭabal Therapy is a nice option in a Dredge deck since it has a synergy with Bridge from Below. The normal Dredge deck is still considered better equipped to handle most of the opponent's answers, but Mana-Less Dredge doesn't fall behind since it can now deal with those answers too. But the printing of Force of Vigor changed this and actually put Mana-Less Dredge on the map of competitive Legacy strategies. Mana-Less Dredge was seen as somewhat of a " meme deck" or a deck of lesser power since it would concede the game most the time the opponent landed a Graveyard-hate permanent on the board - with players even saying things like the strategy of the deck for Graveyard-hate was to concede.

Although the strategy slightly varies from each one, many of the cards are present in both lists. It is considered an Aggro- Combo strategy.īoth types of Dredge decks employ the same self-mill strategy. It is a powerful strategy that is present in Legacy, Modern and Vintage. It draws its name from the Mechanic Dredge and there are two major subtypes of Legacy Dredge decks: Mana-Less and Dredge.
