This is awesome because it let us fill our graveyard really quickly but it can also be a really dangerous play: after a move like this one we will find ourselves with 2-3 cards in hand, so if our opponents play something like a Bojuka Bog we will find ourselves with nothing in the graveyard while having to wait until we can discard a card again.

Phantasmagorian instead can be used to drop our whole hand to the graveyard by abusing of the stack: we can activate its ability by discarding three cards and, in response, of the same ability we can reactivate it to drop other three cards before Phantasmagorian gets back to the hand. The Dredgers are pretty straightforward: discard them to the graveyard and use their Dredge ability when you should draw. To do this we use dredger ( Golgari Grave-Troll, Golgari Thug and Stinkweed Imp) or the aforementioned Phantasmagorian. This thing really depends on who I’m against: if the other deck has a slow gameplan, some time mulligan for a better hand could still be a lot more beneficial even if we are giving our opponent another free turn.Īs said before, the base of this deck is to fill the graveyard as much as possible to start triggering effects or playing spells from it. Lots of Manaless Dredge players will tell you to never mulligan when playing this deck, even if you don’t have a dredger in your starting hand but I found out that sometime it is better to mulligan than hope to topdeck a dredge. Playing in this way sure is risky as there are many things that can go against us if we happen to not be on the draw we basically give our opponent a free turn Graveyard hate can completely shut the deck down Mulligan is always a really risky thing to do as it will for sure put us one turn behind.

The cards we are going to discard will be a card with the Dredge keyword or Phantasmagorian this card is the first piece that we will use to start filling our graveyard with cards on our deck that can be played from the graveyard or have some triggered effect when they or other cards are put in the graveyard.

This is because our first turn will be a simple draw and the discard to hand size. So… how do you play spells? With Manaless Dredge is important to be always on the draw when starting a game. The first question people ask me is “Is it really manaless?” Yes! There are zero mana sources in the deck no lands, no mana producing artifacts and neither weird free rituals like Simian Spirit Guide.
