To me it seems fringe useful, whenever you dread return, or get nether shadow or ichorid back, get a body, although this seems better if you plan to win with flayer + troll and not zombies. What do you think?

EludeMerlange in manaless dredge you never cast anything (except for lotus petal), so colors are never an issue. However, I think it might be playable, as free creatures from the yard are always nice, I would have to playtest to see if it's worth a spot.

It might be played. Returning ichorids and Narcomebas gets this thing into play. The only downside being that it comes in on the Endstep, so it has to wait a turn to be used to dread return things.

The issue is it comes in tapped and doesn't further the game plan of dredge. It takes up a slot that could otherwise be an actual enabler or win con. The card will come into play sure but so what.

It would be good in manaless dredge, if it just weren't that last line: "at the beginning of the next end step". Both Cabal Therapy and Dread Return are sorceries so that clause slows it down entire turn, and that's too slow.
Coinman1863 manaless dredge doesn't play Lotus Petal. It doesn't do anything besides producing mana. What would manaless dredge do with mana?

I feel like Flayer of the Hatebound is just stronger. Manaless Dredge really doesn't have the room to cut anything from the engine itself. That would mean the only things you're able to cut are the disruption cards (Chancellor of the Annex, Force of Will, etc.). Those might be fine if you want more of a glass-cannon style deck, but you probably just lose to any other combo deck since they go first.

Prized Amalgam, Seems too expensive, as well as costing multiple colors, IDK
