Timing question: dredge and draw/discard mechanics

Asked by CamraMaan 6 months ago

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

Dredge afaik is a replacement effect, meaning in context you can choose to Dredge instead of drawing, after which you would still have to discard, and could discard the Thug.

Oh, forgot to say, since each trigger resolves separately, you can keep doing it.
