Rainbow DREDGE, without the pot of gold (BUDGET)

Modern Budget Dredge

Kubula


Sideboard

Sorcery (1)


With the reprint and drop of price of Gemstone Mine, the tight budget of ∼50$ can finally support + SB manabase, although with some compromises.

Spells and Creatures

Composition of spells and creatures is practically identical to the non-budget lists, with just some tweaks based on personal preference. This list relies more heavily on Silversmote Ghoul than on Narcomoeba to bring back Prized Amalgam. Silversmote Ghoul on its own brings Prized Amalgam to battlefield at the end of the opponents end step, which will make it dodge most board wipes for a turn. This list has 3 Ox of Agonas. I find just 2 Oxen not to be enough to reliably end up in your graveyard when you need them, and flashed back Otherworldly Gaze is good, but can't compare to the power of Ox of Agonas.

Manabase

The manabase is missing the better rainbow lands City of Brass and Mana Confluence and has to utilize combination of pain lands and lands from the vivid cycle to supplement the Gemstone Mine. The manabase is performing very well, even with 6 tap lands, with the help of Otherworldly Gaze, to set up an untaped land for turn two Cathartic Reunion or a replacement for depleated Gemstone Mine. The main issue is that there are not enough sources to reliably cast Darkblast or Stinkweed Imp in times of desperation. Replacing one Darkblast with Dakmor Salvage shouldn't have significant impact on the ability to dredge, while providing a way to find the source.

Sideboard

The budget means no Leylines, which are typically key for protection of the gameplan. The standard creature, artifact and enchantment removal is supplemented by budget graveyard hate Tormod's Crypt, Defening Silence againts storm and cascade decks and Failure / Comply to prevent opponent from casting a finisher for a turn.Also Smiting Helix is added to provide another way to recur Silversmote Ghoul to sideboard against decks with Surgical Extraction.
