Golgari Thug
Creature — Human Warrior
When this dies, put target creature card from your graveyard on top of your library.
Dredge 4 (If you would draw a card, instead you may put exactly four cards from the top of your library into your graveyard. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand. Otherwise, draw a card.)

Budget Meren

Meren as a commander really pushes you to build with a high density of creatures-which are currently only a third of your deck. In this case I would cut most of your non-creature ramp for cheap mana dorks (Somberwald Sage, Arbor Elf, Fyndhorn Elves, maybe even Viridian Emissary, Solemn Simulacrum or Springbloom Druid).
I would also do the same with your other critical deck areas such as removal, draw, boardwipes, sac outlets. I would cut Alesha's Legacy, Overwhelming Remorse, and Putrefy in favor of Merciless Executioner, Insidious Fungus, Grist, the Hunger Tide, Foundation Breaker, and Acidic Slime. Also with more creatures gives us better tutor options: Fauna Shaman is worth the money here, and Jarad's Orders is super efficient. Mausoleum Secrets is kinda cool but it only grabs black creatures which I don't like- up to you if you want to keep it.
Drawing cards is overrated in this deck- your hand IS your graveyard. I would lose the Village Rites, Read the Bones, Sign in Blood, Bastion of Remembrance and Disciple of Bolas to bring in cards like Golgari Thug, Stitcher's Supplier, Skull Prophet, or Satyr Wayfinder. Nyx Weaver and Golgari Grave-Troll are an absolute must.
Not sure terastadon belongs here, as much as I love it. It's nice as a reanimation target but meren will have trouble bringing it back and the deck isn't ramp heavy enough to reliably have the mana to cast it. Instead, maybe a Skullwinder or Junji, the Midnight Sky to give you some added recursion.
You may want to also add in about 5 cheap nonbasics. Temple of Malady, Woodland Cemetery, Dakmor Salvage, Tainted Wood, Twilight Mire, Viridescent Bog, Necroblossom Snarl are all very solid choices. Lands entering tapped won't be a super large issue if you stick to 5 or so but you will definitely notice the mana smoothing and appreciate it.
Hope this helps!

Have you considered Underworld Dreams? If an opponent has as few as 77 cards in their deck with no lifegain when you cast Peer into the Abyss, it's game over. Definitely so if you have Mindcrank.
Also, if you can find cards like Callous Bloodmage and Golgari Thug to replace some of your noncreature graveyard interaction, you may then want to consider adding Mortal Combat. This should help with losing over Angel of Suffering.
Great deck! You definitely took it in directions I wouldn't have thought of.
Happy Hunting!

Hi there,
I too have a Dredge deck and thought I would offer my 2 pence worth (for what its worth lol).
So there is a couple dredge cards you may be missing, or may have considered and not put in.
Especially think Life from the Loam would be a really good include as you are wanting their to be lands in your graveyard, but you may need them out.
May as well also go for the whole group of Cycling lands (like Tranquil Thicket) as you will be able to trigger draws, which then let you dredge more.
The card I use as a commander could work in your 99 - The Mycotyrant. Gives you tokens for putting permanents in your graveyard. (Here is my deck if you fancy a little look Fungus, Among'us - Mycotyrant Dredge/Descend.
With Dakmor Salvage, if you have The Gitrog Monster and Skirge Familiar you can essentially have infinite mana, as you discard the Salvage - in place of draw effect from Gitrog, Dredge Dakmor back to your hand netting 1 further card in your graveyard, and then can repeat as much as you wish.
Hope thats useful at least - And of course a thumbs up for 1. Being Golgari, and 2. Being Dredge

Say I have encored Merfolk Pupil with Araumi of the Dead Tide with three opponents, creating three token copies that each trigger on ETB, stacking three draw-then-discard triggers on the stack. I also have Golgari Thug in my graveyard. Can I dredge Goglari Thug, putting it into my hand, then discard it, as part of each draw/discard trigger...? Effectively dredging it and discarding it three times?
TIA

Somehow I missed this commander during Kaldheim. I really like the idea of Orzhov spellslinger. Your build is solid.
Incarnation Technique seems like an auto include. Reanimate 2 plus a Firja trigger. Corpse Dance is the same with the guaranteed trigger.
Scroll Rack is like PB&J with that Land Tax. Helps put things in the yard that might be in your hand.
Rumor Gatherer scry and card draw are useful to the strategy.
Golgari Thug the best black dredge card for the decks theme.
Silent Clearing more draw never hurts.
Silverquill Campus expensive scry but valuable to Orzhov.
Path of Ancestry pure value.
Imp's Mischief Izzet value in mono black.
Pull from Eternity potential secret tech. Something to ponder.
Vindicate to round out the playset of the best spot removal in the game.

Sun Titan is a good budget value creature for repeatable reanimation of permanents. Pair Titan with Apprentice Necromancer, but only on your turn because you have to attack with Titan. For only one the combo reanimates Titan with Necromancer, Titan reanimates Necromancer and attack with Titan because it has haste to reanimate any other 3 CMC or less permanent. Titan dies in combat or at your end step and repeat the combo on your next turn. With a sac outlet such as Viscera Seer you could repeatedly reanimate Eternal Witness to recur any card.
Golgari Thug is more dredge and it's only a two drop for sac fodder. It interacts well with draw spells that make you sac a creature to cast the spell: Deadly Dispute, Village Rites, etc. First draw the creature you put on top of your library from Thug die trigger and second draw replace it to dredge or vice versa.
Golgari Thug + Eternal Witness + Deadly Dispute can be lots of repeatable value.

Nice deck. Have you thought about dredge cards? I.e. Golgari Thug ?
