Deck Description

The main idea of this deck is to dredge all your library until you get 3-4 narcomoebas then sacrifice one for cabal therapy's flashback cost (card's name doesn't matter) and 3 for dread return's flashback cost and bring flame-kin zealot in the game. If you have at least 3 bridges in your graveyard you win the game. It's also tournament legal (Legacy format tournaments only)

How this deck operates:

You play a land followed by a lion's eye diamond. You play breakthrough for 1 mana and in response sacrifice the diamond to add 3 blue mana. In order for this to work you must have at least one card with dredge in your hand. You dredge as many cards as you can and then play deep analysis for its flashback cost with the mana gained from the diamond. Yet again dredge as many cards as you can. By this time you must have at least 3 bridges in you GY (well you may be unfortunate sometimes...). If you still don't have the zealot in your GY, dread return the cephalid sage to continue the combo and then sac two zombies and the sage to bring the zealot into play if you find him, then attack and win. All these take place in the same turn, if you have the cards required.

If you don't have breakthrough, cephalid coliseum does almost the same work but with a turn delay. If you don't have the diamond use putrid imp.

Sideboard:

Leyline of the void is there for GY hate and to make sure the bridges stay where they are. The rest is obvious.

This deck can win most of the times in turns 1-3 and is quite cheap to build. The only expensive card is the diamond but the rest can be found easily. You can play without the diamond (if you can't find it) using One with nothing instead, but you wont get the mana needed for deep analysis' flashback cost, that's the drawback.

Have fun and Enjoy!!

Deck discussion for Legacy Dredge 1st Turn Win

...I don't understand how this combo works. Why is it so crucial to have three bridge from belows in your graveyard? I understand that they only work in there, but they won't work unless a creature is sent to your graveyard from play. I'm confuzzled >.>

The goal is to put 3-4 Narcomoebas into plya from your library by dredging cards, then you sacrifice them with Dread returns flashback cost to bring the Flame-kin Zealot along with 12-16 ziombies from the bridges into play, then attack the same turn. Got it now?

Wow nice deck.... Lion's Eye Diamond cost so damn much though.
I wanted to make a dredge deck like this but I think it will cost too much =/

This isn't a very solid dredge deck. Yes I know this is pre-FL (faithless looting) but still you have no midgame encase you can't go off turn one. Relying just on the meba's is silly. If your thinking of running dredge go check out my list this one isn't to solid.

i agree. this isnt looking great. wheres carefull study and faithless looting? both those cards make dredge so much faster and more insane.

that being said.
i hate dredge. and rdw, or any other shitty budget legacy deck/
decks that win random games and screw up legacy events but are never actually good enough to win the entire event.
