In order to compete in any format, you either have to be as fast as the fastest agro deck or be able to significantly disrupt it. Goblins can win on Turn 4 so I developed a combo deck that can win on the same turn.
I've seen others with Necrotic Ooze but they were very suboptimal. Imo you need as much dredge as possible with Tolarian Winds and Flux. The way dredge works with these cards is that you discard your hand first, then draw, including replacement effects. So if you have a dredge card in your hand and cast Tolarian Winds, you can discard it, and dredge. Dredge is accumulative, meaning if I discard one dredge card, it is likely I can dredge into others. This sequence often puts 20+ cards into my gy by turn 3, which makes it likely I will find my combo pieces. Winning on turn 4 only requires Triskelion and Phyrexian Devourer in my gy and either hard-casting Necrotic Ooze or using Unburial Rites on it.
I also included Sheoldred and Stormtide Leviathan as two Unburial Rites targets as Plan B, in the case that I miss on my combo.
The deck is called Bob Marley as a play on the word dredge (dreads). |
