The Rise of Dredge: A Modern Sideboard Force to Be Reckoned With

As we eagerly anticipate the release of the June metagame report, one thing is becoming increasingly clear - Dredge is here to stay in the world of Modern. For those who have been following the scene, it's no surprise that this deck has been making waves, but its recent meteoric rise to prominence has left many players scrambling to adapt.

The journey to Dredge's current status as a top-tier deck began when Golgari Grave-Troll was unbanned in early 2015. Since then, players have been experimenting with various builds of the deck, slowly but surely perfecting their strategies. However, until recently, Dredge struggled to crack the Tier 3 watermark.

That's all changed now. With its current form, Dredge is a force to be reckoned with, and those who underestimate it do so at their own peril. As someone who has fallen victim to its power, I can attest that it's not just a passing fad - Dredge is a serious threat that demands respect.

My recent purchase of an Infect deck on MTGO was meant to be a fun diversion, but it quickly turned into a baptism by fire as I faced off against none other than the mighty Dredge. And let me tell you, it was not a pleasant experience. The decision to scrimp on Grafdigger's Cages, which would have provided some much-needed protection against this aggressive deck, now looks like a costly mistake.

If you've been paying attention to the Modern metagame or spending time in the MTGO Leagues, you've likely already encountered Dredge in all its gory glory. Its ability to churn out an endless supply of tokens and grind out victories has left many players struggling to keep up.

As we look ahead to the future, it's clear that Dredge is here to stay - at least for now. And if you're not prepared to face off against this formidable foe, then it's high time you started adapting. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out in the world of Modern, one thing is certain: Dredge is a deck that demands respect and attention.
