Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Instants (7)

Land (8)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This deck is part of a four color challenge, focusing on the often conveniently forgotten but groan-at-the-table worthy dredge deck in a Legacy format. Running light on mana, mulligan until you have a land or two in hand and then go for it. Dropping as many cards into your graveyard as you can will set you up to abuse 'Bridge from Below' with 'Narcomeba', 'Ichorid' and 'Golgari Grave-Troll'.

How to Play

If needed, consider sideboarding extra lands and counter spells out for your standard discards to compensate, though slowing your deck down to primarily dredge effects to get items into your graveyard. This is especially true if you're up against Land Destruction or enemy reanimators.

I'm considering:

Dropping 1x Putrid Imp and 3x Lotus Petal to add in 3x Life from the Loam and 1x Gemstone Mine

Adding a Sideboard of:
8x Land
4x Mana Leak
3x Forbid

Okay, what? xD
Putrid Imp is shit nowadays; too slow, too unimpactful, don't run it except for religious reaons.
4 Breakthrough is extremely excessive. Ox of Agonas should be played instead as at least 1 of.
4x Cabal Therapy is a necessity while Wreck and Rebuild is just bad in a shell like this and Life from the Loam serves little to no purpose as the game should be over before the lands matter and dredge super low compared to the other options.
Poxwalkers and Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis should be included.
lion's eye diamond for speed and optimal build viability in the metagame.
Prized Amalgam is too slow for legacy and not worth running
4 Ichorid is too much in a deck with so few black creatures, many of which are dredgers or other Ichorids.

Lastly, the sideboard of a dredge deck should consist of nothing but answers to opposing graveyard hate (e.g., Into the Flood Maw, Portable Hole, etc.) and hate against combo decks that are even faster (e.g., Leyline of the Void).

Also, you'll want some very high impact shit for Dread Return to make sense, I'm talking Duskana, the Rage Mother or Satoru, the Infiltrator or at least a manabase of fetches and duals with mountain types and Anger to make Dread Return on a Golgari Grave-Troll lethal (a play that is made much weaker with every Ichorid included in the deck).

Appreciate the feedback! You've given me quite a few things to think about as I see what cards I have on hand that you mentioned. Thanks!
