FKZ is there, but most decks are ill-equipped to handle 8 2/2 zombie tokens and hasty 3/1s backed up by hand destruction in the first 2-4 turns of the game. I see the focus of the deck is to just combo out ASAP, but, as a Dredge player, I can tell you that most of the time u win through Ichorid beats. a graveyard based deck with black creatures seems awful. I personally think that list is just awful. Those lead to nowhere in a real fucking hurry since each side has their devotees and everyone thinks they are right (even those who have not played either deck) and the people opposing them are dumb. Lets avoid another LED VS non-LED Dredge debate. Its like not including bridge or GGT, its that stupid. You will also note deckcheck by my count has 0 ichorid decks T8ed without LED. I can see maby adding a land, but more than 13 lands is absolutely wrong 12/11 seems right.

He litteraly bent over to threshold the deck that he is soposed to beat, by removing LEDs, deep anals (Which thresh/team america/dreadstill anything running waste/daze/force will be happy to replace. What he failed to realize is that this deck simply sucks. It gives you +1 ways to get cabal therapy online on turn 1, and it allows you stupid cephilid colluseam plays on the draw. How often do you win on turn 1 anyways? around 6%-8%? and thats on game 1. It is the fact that it has the ability to win on turn 1. As a onetime avid dredge player, I find this claim unfounded and reckless, but I am not an expert on the deck anymore, I'll let people who knows better to have a go at the list.

So Feldman talks about 'best' legacy dredge list, claiming everyone else built wrong. Some of the inclusions – and, more significantly, the omissions - may raise a few eyebrows… In today’s Deep Analysis, he breaks down his own build of what he believes is a format-warping archetype.

He believes that Dredge, that old graveyard warhorse, is the most powerful strategy in the format. Grand Prix: Chicago kicks Legacy into firm focus weekend, and Richard Feldman is ready.

Is legacy dredge worth it
