We had this idea in the past, but with the printing of the two new cards from Shadows over Innistrad, we finally felt that we had enough tools to make the deck work.Īfter Shi Tian came up with an initial sketch of the deck, we quickly realised that we needed some interaction or else we wouldn’t be able to beat cards like Scavenging Ooze or even a big Tarmogoyf. Shi Tian came up with the concept of using “enablers” ( Faithless Looting, Insolent Neonate and Tormenting Voice) alongside dredge cards ( Stinkweed Imp and Golgari Grave-Troll) to essentially mill our deck, which will reward us with “free” creatures in the form of Bloodghast, Narcomoeba and Prized Amalgam. When Golgari Grave-Troll was unbanned in Modern, it didn’t see any play for quite some time, until mid-2016, when we noticed the potential in Insolent Neonate and Prized Amalgam that was just printed in Shadows over Innistrad. My history with Modern Dredge is, to put it bluntly, helping to create the deck with Hall of Famer and former MPL player Lee Shi Tian.

It has taken me multiple years to get all the cards – finding all the Chinese versions of the dredge cards from Ravnica: City of Guilds was extremely difficult! My history with Dredge

This is a photo of my current deck! I still have a couple of cards I want to upgrade, but I am very close to completing it.
