Hey, getting in to Vintage, and building Dredge (yeah, yeah, it pilots itself and is for noobs etc)

Looking for some advice on a list that's something like

Creatures (25)
4x Bloodghast
2x Ichorid
4x Golgari Grave Troll
1x Golgari Thug
4x Stinkweed Imp
1x Flame-kin Zealot
1x Terastodon
4x Narcomeoba
4x Fatesticher

Enchantments (8)
4x Bridge from Below
4x Leyline of the Void

Artifacts (4)
4x Serum Powder

Instants (3)
1x Darkblast
2x Nature's Claim

Sorcery (6)
4x Cabal Therapy
2x Dread Return

Land (14)
4x Undiscovered Paradise
4x City of Brass
4x Bazaar of Baghdad
1x Petrified Field
1x Dakmor Salvage

Sideboard (15)
4x Chain of Vapor
2x Gemstone Mine
2x Darkblast
2x Nature's Claim
2x Ravenous Trap
3x Unmask

Everything should be pretty self explanatory, it's not like I'm inventing the wheel or anything.  I took the basis from this deckcheck:

Added the Salvage for the land drop you sometimes need for Bloodghast, Terastadon, the Ichorids.  I haven't changed the sideboard yet, but I'm considering adding Spell Pierce to counter Ravenous Traps and other annoyances. Please give me any pro tips that you guys might have!

I like Mox Sapphire, Black Lotus and potentially Lotus Petal in builds with Fatestitcher, since it allows for more brokenness.  Ancestral becomes a good add at that point as well.

Vintage is a lovely format, it's too bad so few people can play because the supply of power is so small.

Chess really changed when they decided to stop making Queens and Bishops.  I'm just glad I got my copies before the prices went crazy.

Unless you're expecting to play the mirror a lot I would move the Leylines into the board and play Unmask main instead.  Similarly unless you're really expecting maindeck hate you could move the maindeck Claims to the side to make room for Sapphire and Lotus as DubDub suggested for some more explosive openings.  If you did those two things then I'd probably cut the Traps from the board since in the mirror you'd already be bringing in your Leylines and Chain+Claim as Leyline hate.  Also, I prefer Iona over Terastodon but it seems the elephant has been seeing a lot of play lately so I'm not sure.

Make sure to practice post sideboard games as much as you can.  Game 1 may be mostly autopilot but games 2 and 3 tend to have a lot more decision making both in mulliganing and play.

Good luck getting into Vintage.

It just says to me that you've played enough to know what end of the FoW is sharp

Actually, it doesn't pilot itself, and it isn't for noobs either. It's like any combo deck, once you combo off you combo off, but sculpting / setting up a winning hand is basically what you aim to do while disrupting your opponent as much as you can. The only difference is that you sculpt your hand using mulligans instead of cantrips.
