You may be wondering, 'How do you even get to that point in the game? You can't cast spells!' I will explain all of this, and the inherent intricacies of this deck, as I breakdown the individual card packages. We usually win with creature beatdown, but we also pack a game-ending combo to take down an unsuspecting opponent by surprise. Despite its cost, Manaless Dredge is very difficult to play correctly due to the sheer number of triggers and interactions to keep track of, and I recommend goldfishing the deck numerous times or playing on Magic: The Gathering Online before taking it to a tournament. We eschew the most basic resource in the game to take full advantage of our graveyard. As the name entails, we play zero mana sources in our 75. Manaless Dredge is one of the strangest decks in Legacy, and arguably in all of Magic: The Gathering.

Without further ado, here is Manaless Dredge! Manaless Dredge falls othe lesser end of this range, sitting at $240-less than the price of a Volcanic Island-and with a TCGPlayer optimized cart it can be had for under $180. In a format where decks cost as much as $2,000, $200 to $500 is not terrible. Legacy is naturally more powerful-and more broken-than Modern, and thus we need to have the most powerful cards possible in our deck in order to compete, even if it means pushing the bounds of the budget. However, if we push our budget to make space for more expensive cards, we also get access to powerful cards. Why? Because decks in the lower price calibers usually cannot compete against decks such as Grixis Delver, Czech Pile, or the myriad of other top-tier strategies. When we discuss budget Legacy, we are not talking about USD$50 or $100-we need to be in the $200 to $300 range. Consequently, the format is very expensive to buy into. The decks in this format play some of the most powerful cards in the game, and many of them are on the Reserved List.

Before I get started, I need to clarify a few things.

Hello and welcome to this week's Treasure Cruisin'! This time, I decided to tread into Legacy and tech one of my favorite decks in the format: Manaless Dredge. This article was originally published on MTG Salvation and has been republished here by the author's request.
