Is Dredge's decklist vanilla?

Well I would only reanimate one guy usually. Depending on the deck my opponent plays, and wouldn't attack. Just the guy that deals damage whenever a creature enters the battlefield on my side.

That's really the best way to win with dredge, otherwise you run the risk of losing your Bridges.

Another thing is trying to kill {Umezawa's Jitte} ASAP, or you lose pretty much.

I had to scoop when my manager played that and dropped a counter to kill his creature. I lost all my bridges.

False. You win with dredge by getting as many {bridge from below}s as you can into the graveyard, saccing {narcomeoba}s, {putrid imp}s, and {ichorid}s via {dread return} (making more tokens,) bringing back {flame-kin zealot} and giving all your tokens haste and +1/+1 and attacking with your massive token hoard. Any other way just doesn't work. As stated before. The dredge mechanic is limited to only a handful of cards.

If you're hellbent on bringing out fatties from the GY, then stop pussyfooting around and just full on reanimator.

I find flame kin isn't as fast as I would like it to be. I only reanimate one creature depending on the decks im playing. That's why I don't call it reanimator.

Like I said I haven't memorized the names of everything yet, but the guy with undying that does damage to creature or player based on their power to creature or player.

I find him to be far quicker and easier to use with the zombie tokens.

Here's a question.

Do you think {Wild Guess} would work? I could use LeD to play it. Although I probably only use LeD once, I figured it could be fun. How worth it would it be though?

Why not just go Mono Black Reanimator and play {Griselbrand}, then? He's good against literally everything. Lifelink. Flying. Draw cards. 7/7.

If I wanted a reanimator deck I would make a reanimator deck. Haha.

I made a dredge deck to play dredge. :D

Don't think its worth it. There's that one black creature that lets you discard 3 cards to return it to your hand... Can't remember the name.

{Phantasmagorian}. Personally I could see {wild guess} being useful. You could discard two dredgers and then turn around and dredge off of them. Of course better than even that is {breakthrough}. Off of a single {U}, you can dump your entire hand and dredge up to four cards, which is half your library.
