Not sure why you board out Force of Will against Dredge. I understand Duress and Misdirection, but I would think Repeal is a better choice to take out. Of course, you could always just go into straight Oath and take out the storm pieces also.

Just my two cents.

How about Fact, gifts, repeal, 2x duress, missdirection, and 1 spell pierce?

Boarding out Fact, Gifts and Repeal to keep in Spell Pierce and Force of Will is wrong.  The whole reason Dredge is playable is because it can mostly ignore Force and Spell Pierce.

I understand the plan to play Leyline and defend it, but that does not work in practice.  Basically mulliganing to 5 on average to find Leyline, dropping it and then pitching a blue business spell to Force to protect it leaves you with 2 other cards in hand.  Meanwhile Dredge is digging 3 cards deep a turn.  They will find a second answer and beat you first.

Your original plan was probably better.

Misdirection and 2x Duress seems obvious but I'd also take out repeal and 3x Pierce, deppending on my opponent (mana ichorid may deal with spell pierce a bit better), also, the drawback of fow's alternative cost is relevant but worthy.

The "remove tendrils" idea seems bad since it's your only real win condition this MU, a 5/5 Beater cannot stop dredge's plans and with only 1 Tydespout your chances to bounce hes table are null.

I feel me playing tendrils gives me the upper hand against faster decks. Thanks for all your input and i hope to see you all at future events.
