RIP Golgari Grave-Troll and Faithless Looting .

How it works:

The goal is to get Life from the Loam and/or a dredge card into the graveyard as fast as possible so you can begin replacing each of your draws with a dredge trigger. This in turn lets you start casting a bunch of value cards out of your graveyard.

Your main win conditions are Young Pyromancer , Worm Harvest , and Seismic Assault . Raging Ravine and Treetop Village provide backup.

The best way to get the engine going is to cast Tormenting Voice , which allows you to pitch Life from the Loam as part of the cost. You can then immediately replace the first draw from Tormenting Voice with a dredge trigger. If you happen to mill another dredge card from the first trigger, you can then replace the second draw on Tormenting Voice with another dredge trigger. This should dump between 3 and 12 cards into the graveyard.

The other way to get the engine going is Smallpox . You'll just discard your dredge card.

If you don't have any dredge cards, Raven's Crime , Flame Jab , and Worm Harvest can be pitched easily since they have retrace.

The main issues I've had so far in testing this deck is surviving the initial assault from aggro decks. Once you get the board empty and a full graveyard, the game becomes really easy as you just grind them down with tons of value and card advantage.

I remember now why I haven't played this deck in so long. It really needs Ensnaring Bridge. I'm also thinking Golgari Brownscale might be a card to go in the maindeck. At the very least, I should stick Vengeful Pharaohs somewhere in the 75. I'd also like to play Horizon Canopy with Unburial Rites, but that will have to wait until Horizon Canopy isn't $80+ (here's hoping for a reprint in Conspiracy).

This was also the first time I played Goblin Lore. Holy shit that card is nuts...it's like having Breakthrough in Modern.

Round One: Bushwhacker Zoo-- 2-1
Round Two: Naya Burn-- 0-2
Round Three: 4-Color Walkers (no blue)-- 2-0
Round Four: Bant Midrange-- 2-0
Round Five: Jund Dragons-- 1-2
