Major Additions: Bloodghast, Hedron Crab, Iona, Shield of Emeria. The key synergy here is Bridge from Below and Dread Return. Once you mill most of your library, it becomes super easy to reanimate a bunch of things for free because whenever you sacrifice creatures to flashback Dread Return, you get a bunch of Zombie tokens from your Bridge from Below, which in turn allows you to flashback even more copies of Dread Return until you win the game with one big combo-esque turn.

It would then fill its graveyard at lightning speed with the help of the dredge mechanic, generate a bunch of Zombie tokens with Bridge from Below (sometimes with the help of a sacrifice outlet like Drowned Rusalka), and then finish the game by reanimating Akroma, Angel of Wrath or Flame-Kin Zealot by flashing back Dread Return. The Standard version of Dredge looked to use discard outlets like Llanowar Mentor, Merfolk Looter, and Magus of the Bazaar to get dredgers like Golgari Grave-Troll, Stinkweed Imp, and Life from the Loam into the graveyard. While deck lists from 2007 are spotty at best, Dredge was a big part of the Standard format, and while the support pieces were much, much different than they are today, the basic idea and the key cards remained the same. Wizards, in a move that is now widely considered to be a mistake, made 'dredge'-the ability to get a card back from your graveyard by milling X number of cards instead of drawing a card-the mechanic of the Golgari guild. The story of Dredge in Modern starts several years before Modern was even a format, in the original Ravnica Standard format. Anyway, let's break down the evolution of Dredge in Modern! Ravnica Standard-2007 Also, since it's been a while since we've had a Deck Evolutions article, I figured it was worth highlighting some of the old articles, in case you missed them. Today's Dredge Deck Evolutions is actually the fifth installment in the past, we've covered Modern Tron, Legacy Miracles, the now-extinct Modern Twin, and Modern Jund. So, today, we are going to take some time to look over the evolution of the deck, from the very first days of the Modern format up until now, where the deck is so good that some people are suggesting that it may need to be targeted with a banning. Even though the rise of Dredge as a true tier-one deck is relatively new, some form of Dredge deck has been floating around in Modern for years. For the past few months, it has been firmly in the top tier of the format and at times has been the number-one overall deck in Modern.
