"Margaret, get the shotgun! Those blasted birds done rose from the grave."

Dredge Tokens is an unconventional dredge deck based around cards with flashback, embalm, retrace, and dredge. All the tasty graveyard stuff. Putting this deck in Naya colors gives it access to tokens galore, embalm shenanigans, Golgari Brownscale , and Faithless Looting ! So much value. Battle Screech adds around $25 to the cost of the deck in paper due to it being printed only in Judgement. (This goes for Prismatic Strands as well. Dang those cards need a reprint.) If you're looking for budget replacements, I'll cover that in a bit.

Sacred Cat - a nice little lifelinker that can be cast from the graveyard. Excellent value for 1 mana.

Dauntless Cathar - a worse Sacred Cat , but flying on the token is nice, and if we ever need a 3/2 body, this Cathar is the lady for the job.

Golgari Brownscale - the only card in our dredge deck that technically has "Dredge." This lizard goes TO WORK in this deck. If we can get him in the graveyard with Faithless Looting , Mulch , or Icatian Crier , we are in good shape. The 2 life is devastating against burn decks and can keep us in games that we might otherwise lose. (Especially paired with Icatian Crier .

Icatian Crier - The only nonland card in our deck besides Mulch that does nothing from the graveyard (that's why there are only 2). But boy, if you can stick this chick to the board, she will not let you down. This card rewards you with tokens for doing exactly what dredge decks want to do - get cards in the graveyard. Battle Screech loves this card.

Acorn Harvest - The only non-white tokens in the deck, but this value couldn't be passed up. Two tokens for Symbol:G and 3 life from the grave is excellent value in pauper.

Battle Screech - an amazing token producer that can be cast essentially for free from the graveyard that gives you more tokens to flashback more Battle Screech es. This card is expensive in paper however (please reprint it, wizards), and for a budget player this might cause some issues. More on that later.

Cenn's Enlistment - A repeatable token producer in the late game. Goes well with Mulch .

Mother Bear - creates a few big blockers or finishers late in the game.

Faithless Looting - an excellent turn one play and awesome card to flash back. Puts what we need to put into the graveyard into the graveyard and offers valuable card-filtering.

Winding Way - a great card in this deck given that basically all other cards that aren't lands really want to be in the graveyard. Picture it as a 2 mana draw 4.

Firebolt - Repeatable creature removal that hits a lot of stuff in pauper.

Rally the Peasants - An amazing finisher. I often find myself using it twice in the same turn by casting it then flashing it back. that's +4/+0 for all your birds, spirits, citizens, kithkins, and squirrels.

6 Plains , 4 Mountain s, and 5 Forest s. Naya is a thing now.

4 Ash Barrens - efficient mana fixing (a little bit expensive, but there are replacements)

3 Evolving Wilds - a little less efficient mana fixing

Spidersilk Armor - protection from sweepers and fliers. A little expensive in paper, though

Ancient Grudge - artifact hate that can be cast from the graveyard

Ray of Revelation - same as Ancient Grudge but for enchantments

Folk Medicine - a janky card to use against burn. I love Judgement

Prismatic Strands - an amazing card to use against a variety of combo decks and big swingy decks. (a bit pricey)

Gaze of Justice - repeatable removal for fatties or other annoying boys

Tips for Piloting Dredge Tokens

  • Keep a hand with a Faithless Looting and mana to cast it. That card is freaking great.

  • Make sure you are certain to win or you have no other option before you use Rally the Peasants . Try to make your opponent cry from all that damage you slap on them.

  • Get Golgari Brownscale into the graveyard and use dredge as much as possible. Even go out of your way if you have to. You won't regret it.

  • Have fun, this deck is meant to be fun to pilot, not to win all the time. If you do win though, smear it all over your opponent's pathetic face. And tell me because I want to know.

  • Weak removal

  • Kinda expensive for pauper

0-2 vs. Tireless Tribe Combo - Opponent drew all the right cards before we could finish them off in both games.

1-1 vs. Mono Blue Affinity - Got killed in the sky in the first game, but was able to smash in with Rally the Peasants second game. Opponent declined to play the third game.

2-0 vs. Rakdos Madness Burn - Opponent couldn't handle the lifegain from Golgari Brownscale in the first game. I gained a total of 18 life using Folk Medicine s in the second game.

2-1 vs. Acid Trip Control - Their Acid Trips didn't do too much to my deck in these games, since the only real targets are lands (which Mulch helped find), tokens, and things that already wanted to be in the graveyard. I found myself overwhelmed by their flyers in game 1 however and ran out of blockers. Opponent also had like a million Gift of Orzhova s which really sucked. But Rally the Peasants finished them off in the next 2 games.
