Abzan on the other hand has removal, blockers, and card advantage. Other decks like Burn, Abzan, Affinity, and Infect can be about even.īurn has a lot of removal but if they are spending their burn on your creatures then they are already far behind. Jund however can have Scavenging Ooze and a bunch of removal. The worst card the first 2 can play in their main is Anger of the Gods and I pity the fool casting Living End against the dredge deck. Honestly decks like Jeskai Nahiri, Grixis, Jund, and Living End all seem very favorable. Against other creature decks it can be a fantastic removal spell that can sometimes wipe out your opponent’s creatures allowing you to swing through for lethal. Conflagrate can be another win condition because it can easily be a 7 or 8 point fireball pointed at your opponent. As you can see this deck does primarily win through creature damage which I believe is the main reason it is not too powerful. Simple enough right? There are turns where you can put 10 or more power into play with a good dredge. Bloodghast and Narcomoeba are what will get your (Prized Amalgram)s into play. Occasionally the other text on Golgari Grave-Troll becomes useful and you actually cast it as a giant creature to provide a threat.Įach one of these cards you want to play from your graveyard. (Life from the Loam actually has added benefit of being a good spell that you can keep casting it and progressing that way. You want to get these cards into the graveyard as soon as possible and immediately start dredging. What do you want to dump into your graveyard? Shriekhorn is another 1 drop that can allow you to put more tools into your graveyard. Because it has flashback you don’t mind if you mill it with a dredge spell either. Faithless Looting helps dump cards in the graveyard quickly as well. So you can put a dredger into the yard and then dredge right away.

With both the Neonate and Reunion you discard first and then draw your cards. In a good hand you would want to see at least one to get your graveyard party started. So while I may not have special insights, I can give general information which is really all I sought out to do from the beginning I have however played against it numerous times and seen in played in videos by pros or on actual coverage. I have not been able to actually play this deck yet.

Before I get into the various keys to the deck let me be very clear. It can drop a lot of power onto the board very quickly and still have other ways to win the game. It is not hard to see that this deck is strong.
