Even before Once Upon a Time was banned, we wanted more dredge creatures, and now that it is no longer legal, going up to four copies of Golgari Thug is a really easy choice to help ensure we have a dredger in our opening seven as often as possible. The problem is that we also can't really mulligan with the deck (unless we have Serum Powder) since every mulligan we take puts us another turn away from discarding to hand size, which is our only way to start dredging and filling our graveyard). Basically, for a hand to be keepable, we need a dredge card (either Stinkweed Imp or Golgari Thug) or maybe Phantasmagorian, depending on what the rest of our hand looks like. By far the hardest part of playing Manaless Dredge is figuring our which opening hands you can keep.(I was worried we wouldn't win a match.) The deck can actually be pretty powerful when it gets a good starting hand, although it is also wildly inconsistent and easy to hate out. Record-wise, we ended up going 2-3 with Manaless Dredge, which is actually a lot better than I had expected.(Playing more copies of Golgari Thug, Sword of the Meek, and Salvage Titan likely improves the deck even if Once Upon a Time were still legal in the format-in our experience, Once Upon a Time was the ultimate trap card, making us think we could keep a hand without a dredger and then almost never hitting a dredger.) The good news is that Once Upon a Time isn't actually very good or necessary in the deck. Yes, the build of Manaless Dredge we played for our videos had Once Upon a Time.Dread Return Targets in Mainboard or not, etc.). What exactly is it that makes the LED version so strong? Also, how exactly is LED used? Can you only use it's ability to activate a Flashback'd Faithless Looting? When is it wrong to use LED? How does it's ability affect the optimal sequencing of spells?ĮDIT 2: Also if anyone would be willing to, I'd appreciate if people would post their decklists for LED Dredge, as there seems to be a variety of mainboard and Sideboard choices specific to each player (e.g. Is this due to playing lands allowing for stronger sideboard answers to RIP, Leyline of the Void, Tormod's (Graveyard hate etc.)?

I seem to be getting told that the LED version is not only more consistent, but more resilient. I'd just like to hear various Dredge players (and non-dredge players) opinions on the decks. Which is more resilient? Which does better in tournament? And are they both fun to play? What are the advantages of running Manaless Dredge over the LED version (Other than the financial savings)?
