If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand. Cards with dredge have a number after the ability and the reminder text for the ability reads “If you would draw a card, instead you may put exactly X cards from your library into your graveyard. Since the guild uses dead material to cultivate new growth, it made sense to have a mechanic centered around the graveyard. Dredge was introduced as the defining mechanic of the Golgari guild back in the original Ravnica block. Today it’s about dredge, a mechanic that is just as broken as phyrexian mana and now has a deck named after it. Phyrexian mana is a great example of this, but that’s another topic. Every now and then Wizards of the Coast releases a mechanic that is too good for Magic, like those that break the fundamentals of the game.
