Sideboard


Maybeboard


The idea i'm shooting for here is an enchantment dredge deck, on the aggro side, but survivable til midgame if necessary.

I wanted to make sure every time I dredge I have full pick of every 5/6 cards that I'm dumping. Additionally, each card not picked should add to my deck's play by being in the graveyard.

Creatures all are enchantments to ensure my pick from dredging, while still boosting my creature graveyard count. Creatures in the graveyard need to be a threat to keep them on the board while i get my mana up.

Graveyard buffs-Nighthowler, either as creature, or added onto Sylvan Caryatid Herald of Torment or Master of the Feast. Additionally, Pharika, god affliction can generate 1/1 deathtouch tokens that would also make good bestow targets.

Strength of the Fallen is basically my instant speed one time use nighthowler. Maybe on a flyer or trample creature if I added Scourge of Skola Vale or something similar.

I like the idea of bestowing onto Gladecover Scout as well. her hexproof makes her evasive, while being easily pumped. She dies, oh well, now the nighthowler ((or maybe Spiteful Returned or Boon Satyr )) are in and can hopefully finish what she started.

Clearly, Nighthowler is the strong point of the deck, which is another reason why all dredge mechanics will allow me to pull him.

Brain Maggot is my tentative answer for removal. take out removal cards with him, forcing another to be used on him. I want to make killing my creatues a threat, because it will be pumping the graveyard.

I fell comfortable running low land numbers with Deathrite Shaman , Elvish Mystic , Sylvan Caryatid , and Grisly Salvage giving me some reliable mana fixing.

Deathrite Shaman is an obvious for any dredge deck. no explanation needed.

Master of the Feast and Herald of Torment are my main damage dealers. flying to get through turn 4 Nighthowler damage.

EDIT: Boiled my maybe board down a good bit. Can't decide if I need to get in a good 4 drop. My first thought is Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord because he gets a buff from creatures in graveyard and I can finish people off with his sacrifice ability. second, if it comes down to it, I can pull him out from graveyard (if i dont have Nyx Weaver out) by sac a forest and swamp. Other options I considered was Nylea, God of the Hunt she can give my creatures trample to get my damage through, in addition to being a 6/6 . but she feels like a waste of two cards in this deck.
