Manaless Dredge normally likes to draw instead of play since it will allow them to discard a card on their first turn (like Golgari Grave-Troll) that will let them dredge instead of draw. LED dredge is definitely the more popular of the two but I’ll cover both. Manaless Dredge is more like The Epic Storm, much more likely to win on one turn but more glass cannon, while LED Dredge is much more like Ad Nauseam Tendrils, a little bit slower and much less likely to win on turn one but also much more reliable. The differences between the two types of Dredge are much like the differences between the two types of Storm decks.

There are two types of Legacy Dredge: Lion’s Eye Diamond dredge and Manaless Dredge. Since Legacy Dredge is the one that I most familiar with, let’s start with this one this week.

This week I thought I’d start a series where I slowly dive into each version of Dredge and how to play against them a little bit deeper. A few weeks ago I wrote a quick overview of the Dredge mistress (or monster depending who you are).
