This is my dredge deck that I'm building for the upcoming Standard meta.

Please share your ideas! This deck isn't complete, and also cards will be added as they are spoiled. I'm particularly hoping for some stronger delve cards.

The basic strategy of this deck is to throw stuff in the graveyard and create tokens with both Sidisi, Brood Tyrant and Pharika, God of Affliction. They actually have pretty awesome synergy together. One throws stuff in and creates tokens, while the other can exile and create tokens.

Satyr Wayfinder is just awesome in this deck. Prognostic Sphinx and Jace, the Living Guildpact are two other ways to toss cards into the graveyard.

I'm running a removal package of Hero's Downfall and Sultai Charm. The charm is particularly powerful because it can also help our mechanic.

Elvish Mystic and Sylvan Caryatid provide our ramp.

The biggest two threats to this deck are exiling the graveyard and control. There are two notable cards that shut down my strategy, Tormod's Crypt and Anafenza, the Foremost. Anafenza is easier to deal with; you just have to kill her. She also doesn't affect anything already in the graveyard, which is a relief. The crypt is more annoying, although people will only start running it in SB if dredge becomes a thing in Standard. However, counterspells in our SB will take care of it and you can also cast Sultai Charm in response to them tapping it.

This deck should be fairly well suited to slow down aggro with blockers like Caryatid, but Drown in Sorrow will come in against them.

Please share your thoughts!!!
