That proved too powerful and was redesigned to its current iteration. Instead of drawing a card you could just put the reclaim card in your hand. I’m pretty sure dredge was first spoiled on Grave-Shell Scarab in September of that year during the preview of the set’s mechanics, but it was a different time so I can’t be 100% sure.ĭredge was originally called “reclaim” and was basically a regrowth effect. But we don’t have much info on how it was initially revealed thanks to its age. The History of Dredge in MTGĭredge was one of the many now-iconic parts of the Ravnica block from 2005. Did you play Cerulean Wisps? One more chance to dredge at instant speed.ĭredge also can’t be responded to since it’s a replacement ability that doesn’t use the stack.

Those option from the graveyard a big part of what makes decks like these feel like a real dredge deck.Shenanigans | Illustration by Lindsey Look I like anything you can cast from the grave, stuff like Demonic Embrace, Corpse Connoisseur, Rotting Rats, even something like Maximize Velocity isnt totally bad as it discards. Going 5 color you would get Unburial Rites and Sevinnes Reclamation targeting Animate/Dance of the Dead as more "prized amalgam" type ways to get threats on the battlefield using nothing but your graveyard. And Lord of Extinction + Berserk can always win some games. It's not going to ever be "competitive" with only combat damage to win but it feels like dredge. Since classic dredge threats like Prized Amalgam and Ichorid are just not going to get there in commander the cards that get big like Lord of Extinction and Sewer Nemesis and the cards you can get from the grave like Hogaak, Centaur Vinecrasher, Dread Return etc do a good job of replicating the playstyle. I love dredge and tried to replicate the playstyle as best I could. This is my dredge list with the 4 color non white nephilim as commander.
