I’ll list a few of the best ones, but there are a ton in your colors and most are really cheap. In order for Jarad to really work, you’re going to need dudes that will get you value when they hit the board so that you can get the maximum utility out of your reanimation engines. +Phyrexian Delver: Not exactly an engine, but the fact that it’s a creature allows for some fun plays, like casting Jarad’s Orders and putting Lord of Extinction into your yard and Phyrexian Delver into your hand.Ī lot of the best ramp options in green are commons and uncommons, so you can accelerate yourself pretty easily without having to worry about stretching your budget. In addition to gaining you value off ETB effects and building up your board, these help provide a constant source of sac fodder for your commander. These are some of the best (and cheapest) ways to dump cards in your yard to help grow your commander and feed your reanimation engines.
Here are a few categories of cards that you’re going to want to run, as well as the best budget options (I’m shooting for less than $3 per card) in each category: The ends may be different, but the system is much the same.Jarad’s core is surprisingly cheap to build.
While dredge may take on a non-traditional form in EDH, it is definitely a possible archetype, if not for some work arounds. Additionally, with some careful politics, you may even be able to choose the card, through an opponent.
While it may be at your opponent’s discretion, being able to bring back any spell to your hand, multiple times in a turn, is very powerful. Tasigur, the Golden Fang - $2.48 - Not only is it a, conditional, 4/5 for 1, it also mills and recurs spells. However, just be careful because it is useless unless you have a black creature in your bin. Ichorid - $2.62 - A staple of regular Dredge decks, it’s an incredibly powerful and repeatable beater that, can, be free. It’s like a more uselful Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. Additionally, it is a very powerful beater who can throw itself back into the graveyard if need be. Golgari Grave-Troll - $12.11 - The hallmark of any dredge deck, as it can dredge the most of any card in magic. This is an incredible inclusion not having a reanimation spell on hand, can be crippling. Or, in a pinch, cast, and then flashed back. It has no mana cost, and it’s a reanimation spell that can be milled and still used. Throwing away a card every time may seem like a harsh cost, but being able to dig, then choose which is discard ensures that you will always be keeping the best of 4, or more, cards.ĭread Return - $0.86 - Dread Return is an auto include simply because of it’s flashback ability. Magus of the Bazaar - $1.27 - Basically Merfolk Looter of steroids, it allows for a greater dig, and multiple Dredge activation, every turn. It may not enable dredge, but works to the same end as Dredge. While it doesn’t do anything the turn you cast it, it can help fill your graveyard, and turns your first draw into a better Preordain, as putting cards in your graveyard is something that you will want to do. Sultai Ascendancy - $0.33 - I believe that Sultai Ascendancy is a very under rated card. At it’s heart, it’s a spell that digs and activates dredge, for ‘free’. Using the draw part to trigger the dredge ability and the discard part to throw the same spell away.įrantic Study - $0.55 - Frantic Study covers many of the same bases as merfolk looter, but does it all for free, and can, in some cases, net mana. Merfolk Looter - $0.20 - Merfolk Looter is a truly a solid inclusion and really helps to enable dredge cards. This is, however, greatly influenced by other Dredge decks Due to the low number of cards with dredge printed (probably for the best, tbh), the the ability to chain dredge creatures from a single draw spell is greatly lessened, however that does not make it impossible In stead, the focus needs to shift from chaining to drawing and discarding as much as possible, tied with self mill and resurrection spells. Request for in not a lot like Dredge in Modern or Legacy.
