@Stormanimagus

List looks great man! Keep up the good work. Wish you would give in and play stuff like this on Magic Online.

I had a good Workshops matchup with my list, the Sulfur Elementals were in my board.

When I was Testing Goblins, Mentor was my worst matchup, but I think if built properly, can be very good against them. I think Goblin Sharpshooter should be a 4 Of alongside a set of Sulfur Elemental, this means every time they cast a spell, they take one point of damage for every Sharpshooter you have in play. Multiple Sharpshooter in play also help against Dredge, eating all zombie tokens. Another sideboard card I think that would help against Mentor is Blood Moon.

I think this has some merit in Dredge. Even the Failure Half can be good against hate, you Failure the hate card back into their hand, then Comply it so they cant cast it, then use that turn to find a therapy to permanently remove it.

Against Storm you name Tendrils and can't die that turn, combine this turn after turn if you have them and you time walk storm alot, which is great for Dredge.

@fsecco This is why it kinda gave me pause. I love some Elesh Norn, but I was wondering if it might provide some kind of techie solution either in particular cases as well some decent beats. I'm just not super comfortable/knowledgeable when it comes to Dredge and the mysteries therein.

AKH is going to be a graveyard heavy set to begin with and it looks like -1/-1 is going to be something that pops up again and again. Even just in the last hour a bunch of cards got spoiled that look like they could have at least some Dredge synergy if not playability.

What cards are you referring to?

This is a great idea! I was your Round Two opponent (the Dredge Player). I enjoy going back and watching my matches to learn about any mistakes I may have made, it is nice to hear some commentary. Thank you for this!

Hey, I am new to Vintage and have been composing deck ideas. I am a fairly competitive Modern and EDH player, however since I am unfamiliar with a lot of Vintage cards and strategies I am at a disadvantage. I wanted to compose a Green and Black deck as those are my favorite colors to run. The idea of a discard deck seemed fun, but wasn't sure if that was a bad idea in the format. Feel free to educate me.

Welcome to Vintage! My first deck in the format was GB Dark Times, a Dark Depths list that used Dark Confidant for Card Advantage, disruption in the form of Discard, Leyline of the Void, etc and a quick kill with either Hexmage or now Thespians Stage, and Helm of Obedience to combo with Leyline of the Void. I'm not sure how viable the deck would be nowadays but you could certainly try it out. If you would like any assistance brewing up a list I'll gladly contribute.

If I were to build White "Eldrazi" I'd build it like this:

4 Wasteland
2 Ghost Quarter
Strip Mine
2 Karakas
5 Plains
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Cavern of Souls
Black Lotus
Mox Sapphire
Mox Jet
Mox Emerald
Mox Ruby
Mox Pearl
Sol Ring
Mana Crypt

3 Containment Priest
4 Eldrazi Displacer
4 Reality Smasher
4 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
4 Thalia, Heretic Cathar
4 Walking Ballista
2 Spirit of the Labyrinth
4 Thorn of Amethyst
Chalice of the Void

Sideboard:
4 Path to Exile
2 Disenchant
2 Rest in Peace
2 Grafdigger's Cage
1 Containment Priest
3 Null Rod
Trinisphere

No Phyrexian Revoker?

Don't get me wrong, Revoker is a great card, but it basically has to auto name Dack Fayden against blue, and I'm fine with Dack with this current list because they can steal:
Chalice of the Void, which does nothing
Thorn of Amethyst which does nothing
Artifact Mana, which could be alittle annoying but bearable
Walking Ballista, which basically does nothing because we can shoot the Dack and them to ensure they don't get anything from the activation.

If you play Revoker and don't name Dack, then they steal it and you gave them a blocker, which is no Bueno imo.

If I were to build White "Eldrazi" I'd build it like this:

4 Wasteland
2 Ghost Quarter
Strip Mine
2 Karakas
