These 4 slots in your 60 cards list will only be relevant 10% of the time (again, just in terms of muligans), aka when you will have a starting hand composed of one Shambling Shell or more and no other dredgers. With the same list and 4 Shambling Shell on top (16 dredgers in total), we end up with 9,92% of chances of having no dredgers. With only our 12 basic dredgers (Golgari Grave Troll, Stinkweed Imp & Golgari Thug) in a 60 cards list, we have 19,06% of chances of having no dredgers in our starting hand.

What is the real impact in terms of preventing us from taking muligans? To increase the number of black creatures in our deck in order to feed Ichorid and stack on Nether Shadow.ġ.To increase the redundancy of the apparition of dredgers when we dredge.The main reason in my opinion: to prevent us from taking mulligans and therefore timewalking us.To be short, it is in my opinion not relevant enough and we shouldn't play it anymore. The card I would like to specifically discuss about is Shambing Shell. Thanks a lot Mr Keller, and please don't be too rude if I turn out to be wrong or incomplete on a few points :)


Before talking about an important card of the deck (or not!) aka Shambling Shell and introducing a list which I think could be relevant in the new Legacy metagame following the bans of Death Rite Shaman & Gitaxian Probe, I would like to start my first post on The Source by thanking Michael Keller for having been so far one of the biggest contributors to Manaless Dredge, and kind of a Personal Tutor for myself thanks to his numerous and valuable inputs over the years on this forum.
