Extended Dredge (from The Undead Survival Guide)

[Stamford]

Some of the initial problems encountered by this deck in its current form include:

Removal of any kind + Counterspells on the enablers, namely:
Drowned Rusulka
Magus of the Bazaar
Greenseeker

Without the ability to discard the dredge cards, this deck is a dead deck.

I mean, I tested out the "fast" lists, and while in goldfishing, they are consistent turn 3 kills, they do not work out in real games because the creatures just get killed before they can do their job.

Burning Inquiry and Goblin Lore were only good if the initial discard enablers lived. Their discard was too random to be of any consequence in the real game.

There were times where everything goes well and I discard 2 dredgers off it, but on most occasions, they screw up because the discard isnt consistent and this deck just dies there.

Currently, Im running a slower more consistent version more capable of discarding and enabling the deck and less prone to removal. It has the possibility of turn 3 kills, the combo is still in it, but it is so much more reliable because it doesnt really depend on the enablers/creatures surviving or the random discarding of Inquiry/Lore.



Lands
2 Overgrown Tomb
2 Swamp
3 Dakmor Salvage
1 Island
4 B/G Fetchland
4 B/W Fetchland
2 Watery Grave

Creatures
4 Rotting Rats
4 Oona's Prowler
4 Narcomoeba
1 Flame-Kin Zealot
4 Golgari Grave-Troll
4 Stinkweed Imp
3 Sphinx of Lost Truths
4 Bloodghast

Other Spells
4 Dread Return
4 Raven's Crime
3 Life from the Loam
4 Bridge from Below

Sideboard
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Ancestral Vision
1 Forest
3 Krosan Grip
3 Chalice of the Void


I find that this list is so much more stable and resilient as compared to the "fast" variants such as, for reference, the "fast" version below:
deck=Good in theory, weak in game Dredge
Lands
2 Dakmor Salvage
1 Watery Grave
4 U/R Fetchland
2 Steam Vents
1 Breeding Pool
3 U/G Fetchland
3 Gemstone Mine

Creatures
2 Sphinx of Lost Truths
4 Magus of the Bazaar
1 Flame-Kin Zealot
4 Golgari Grave-Troll
4 Stinkweed Imp
4 Narcomoeba
1 Golgari Thug
4 Bloodghast
4 Drowned Rusalka

Other Spells
4 Bridge from Below
4 Dread Return
4 Chrome Mox
4 Burning Inquiry
1 Life from the Loam


Not to mention, with the more stable list, it has a 3-sided attack approach.
It has the combo.
It has the Bloodghast beatdown/recursion + Prowler + Stinkweed Imp + Narcomoeba, and possibly Bridge from Below tokens and Dread Returned 14/14 Golgari Grave-trolls.
It has the discard engine that can kill slower decks in Rotting Rats + Unearth, Raven's Crime + Life from the Loam engine.

I like this slower version.  You can win without actually hitting the dredge engine at all which is good.  I am running the inquiry version on MODO currently and will probably adapt to your version on there once the rotation happens online.  I tend to stall out 50% of the time using a turn 1 inquiry-I combo much more consistently with a turn 1 tome scour and believe that the bloodghast and lost truths creature will help tremendously.
