Or, you know, pretty much every kind of interaction in general, which is why that deck isn’t very good. The problems come when the opponent is playing something faster than you, as Dredge isn’t the best at interacting quickly – except for the 《Underworld Breach》 decks, which happen to get hit by every kind of cheap interaction in your sideboard. Turn 3 kills are now more common than they used to be, which is particularly valuable for Dredge, because the worst matchups are usually the ones where you need to race.įair decks are mostly good matchups anyway as your threats are so hard to deal with. But now, the sleepy little zombies have yet another friend who can kick them in the butt and get them moving, and it’s much harder to get rid of 3 enablers than 2. In the past, double Extraction used to be rough if they managed to hit both your 《Bloodghast》s and 《Narcomoeba》s, because it meant that your Amalgams had no friends left to make sure they show up for work on time. The Ox also comes along with a 5/3 body that brings back 《Prized Amalgam》s and gives you a wider variety of threats against 《Surgical Extraction》. To put it in numbers, with Looting a typical scenario went like this: Or to put it more accurately: the following turn. But with the Ox, you get to discard the Imps first, and after dredging half of your remaining deck with them you should have some good additional dredgers for the following turns as well. With Looting, you dredged up the Loams and then discarded the Imps to set up better dredges in the future. What often happens is that you dredge your best dredgers first, so you have a couple of 《Stinkweed Imp》s in your hand and 《Life from the Loam》s in the graveyard. In addition to dredging 3 instead of 2, discarding before drawing is usually a significant upside in the early midgame. It’s like a turbo-charged flashback Looting.
While 《Merchant of the Vale》 isn’t even nearly as good as Looting was for your opening hands, the Ox is insanely powerful in the midgame. While cans of caffeine might give you wings, the Red Ox gives you something even better: wins. But now, after drinking excessive amounts of energy drinks, Dredge has revitalized.
