Been wanting to do a Dredge style deck for a while, the biggest problem being a choice on commander. {jarad, golgari lich lord}, {karador ghost chieftain} and {savara queen if the golgari}, {ghave guru of spores} are the three I currently posess. I know the foundation being green black but to splice or not to splice is my question? {mimeoplasm} and dereva are two more I've researched as other possible choices. But which color to splash if any? All feedback/insight is greatly welcome and appreciated.

{Jarad, Golgari Lichlord} or {The Mimeoplasm}. You want to be in Black and Green obviously.

I'm gonna say {Sidisi, Brood Tyrant}.  I'm planning to build her up as a janky Zombie tribal deck, soon.

Just don't forget your  {Sylvan Library}... 3 dredge triggers for no life loss!!!

Karador all the way! 😃
However I can see mimeoplasm due to the draw in blue.  So that's a thing.

However without Karador, you can't use {Ashen Rider} or emergency board wipe on a stick {Novablast Wurm}

I say Mimeo due to mill, cards like

{Traumatize} (yourself ;) )
{glimpse the Unthinkable}
{Mind Funeral}
{Jace, Memory Adept}

Go great with

{Golgari Grave Troll}
{Life from the loam} and other dredge

I like Mimeoplasm, too. Blue adds some nice support to the theme, including some backup draw (that you can turn into more dredging) and {Laboratory Maniac} in case you dredge yourself a little too much :P

You can find some other gems like {Mirror-Mad Phantasm} in blue, too.

Edit: you can also have {Stifle} to stop a {Bojuka Bog} from screwing you, too. Or {Voidslime}.

Sidisi Combo Dredge. Two examples of combos:

{Cellar Door} + {Doubling Season}/{Parallel Lives}+ Sidisi.

{Basalt Monolith} + {Mesmeric Orb} + {Laboratory Maniac} + {Sidisi} + any instant draw spell.

I decided to use karador, mainly cause it's who I had. Worked out wonderfully! I just need to grab a couple more board wipes and I think it will be a force to be reckoned with, it having a huge creature base when they were being countered it only became more beneficial for me, karador becoming less to cast and I was simply able to cast them from the grave

Umm.. {Damia, Sage of Stone} hands down
