Don't forget to vote for next week's deck by liking, commenting, and subscribing to Instant Deck Tech videos. If you are in the first group, Dredge is the perfect Legacy starter deck, and you can even upgrade to versions with mana over time, if you so choose, but if you are in the second group, you're probably better off jumping into Legacy with a deck like Burn.Īnyway, that's all for today. Some people love Dredge and never want to play anything else, while other people hate Dredge and can't stand playing the deck. On the other hand, you probably want to test out the deck first. The upside is the deck is powerful (although risky, thanks to unbeatable hate cards) and it's super budget for Legacy, which means it can be a good entry into the format. So, should you play Manaless Dredge? It's really hard to give this question just one answer.If you want an in-depth discussion of the deck and the various plans, there's a good primer on The Source. On the other hand, there are some different sideboard options, ranging from Force of Will and Disrupting Shoal, to sideboarding into Dryad Arbor and Nature's Claim to fight Rest in Peace and Leyline of the Void, to specific answers like Ashen Rider for Show and Tell. While it's possible to make some slight changes, the core of the deck is fairly unchanging. As far as customizing the deck, the main deck is pretty much set in stone.On the other hand, the deck really struggles when the format is prepared. If you could somehow know going into a tournament that no one was going to play graveyard hate, Manaless Dredge would be one of the odds-on favorites to win the entire event. Of course, just how successful Manaless Dredge can be depends on how much graveyard hate people are playing in their sideboards.So, the way matches play out is that we pretty much have to win game one (which we usually can-Manaless Dredge is one of the best game-one decks in Legacy), and then we hope that our opponent doesn't draw their sideboard hate in one post-board game. The biggest thing to know about Manaless Dredge is that it literally cannot beat graveyard hate, which is one of the downsides of having no mana at all.While Manaless Dredge can be fast, it isn't often "beat a Turn 2 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn" fast. Against Colorless Eldrazi, we lost on Turn 0 to a Leyline of the Void, and against OmniTell, we got killed on Turn 3 in game one and on Turn 2 in game two. Our losses were pretty much what we would expect with Manaless Dredge. All in all, we went 3-2 in our league, which is pretty reasonable. Most importantly, Manaless Dredge is a real deck, and apart from some slight sideboard changes, there really isn't much to improve or change-the deck is what it is: a consistent and powerful deck that has the unfortunate downside of scooping to some commonly played sideboard cards.
