{Bridge from Below} and  {Narcomoeba} combo off create a lot of tokens and {Narcomoeba} keeps coming back.

Hard to explain but manaless dredge is an archetype.  You mainly keep dredging to fill GY to sneak {nacromeba} in play and {ichorid}.  Then sac them for {cabal therapy} with {bridge from below} pumping 2/2 zombs.

Some suggestions:
{street wraith} gives you free way to draw a card.....but you choose to dredge instead
{Flamekin zealot} cheated into play with {dread return}

This deck can win turn 0 if built and player right

How does {Bridge from below} get into play?

You don't want it in play. On the battlefield it does nothing. It's only when it's in your GY that it produces tokens.

Do people still play manaless Dredge? Haven't seen one in a few years. I know that it was popular in Vintage with {Black Lotus} and Moxes.

Manaless dredge is so hard to explain but it can be done in legacy.  Without mana period .... I do not mean just without lands ... you can win without ever putting mana into your mana pool.
