I was thinking it would be more of a value play against MUD and BUG type decks.

I've always liked this effect. Is it vintage playable in this form at 1cc?

This is bad in vintage. You could play it in modern with that top deck tutor they just printed, I wonder if there is some design space they (WOTC) are trying to push?

@ajfirecracker ...
-spoils of the vault

Are Entomb and Reanimate playable now?

I would use a gitaxian probe in a combo list and maybe a mystical?

Just want to mention that in a deck like this Grafdigger's cage is really good, asymmetrical, grave hate.

I was looking at a draw 7 ish deck that uses a land mana base instead of rituals. Stuff like lotus vale is good too if use time spiral.

Would Dredge play crop rotation if misstep was restricted?

Summary

In modern there is a deck that uses Eldritch Evolution and Allosaurus Rider to get early Griselbrands. There is a lot of card disadvantage there. In vntage we have Skyshroud Cutter. This does not get Griselbrand, but there are still good options for a win con.

This is the best card to get agaist most blue lists and may work against some Forge Shops lists.

I like this guy against Dredge. Fetching a Glacial Chasm and Strip mine, before setting up a Dark Depth win is good.

Conclusion

I just wanted to let people know this is out here and encourage people to mess around with it. this is on par with flash hulk, and we have preordain now. I also think serum powder is worth trying.
