Second, it is possible that we can mill our opponent out of the game, especially if we happen to draw two copies of Drowned Secrets. Two important notes: first, using Wand of Vertebrae to shuffle another Wand of Vertebrae and some other cards back into our deck is a good way to avoid decking ourselves. On the other hand, once we have all of our Arclight Phoenixs and Creeping Chills in the graveyard, it's often better to start milling our opponent with Drowned Secrets so we don't accidentally mill ourselves out of the game. If we have Creeping Chills in our library still, we know we have guaranteed damage if we can mill enough cards to get our Creeping Chills in the graveyard, so we often focus heavily on milling ourselves rather than playing other cards.
Another important aspect of playing the deck is tracking the cards we have left in our deck.On the other hand, the difference between our opponent being at 18 and 17 isn't very much at all, so we're often better off chump blocking with our Narcomoeba to keep our life total high, unless we think we can get our opponent all the way down to 15 (which would mean one less Creeping Chill or Arclight Phoenix attack is needed to kill our opponent). This means that getting our opponent down to 18 life (with something like Narcomoeba) is extremely helpful. Apart from Narcomoeba, all of our finishers ( Creeping Chill and Arclight Phoenix) deal damage in chunks of three. When it comes to playing Standard Dredge, the most important thing you can do is learn to count in threes.While we can try to piece things together with cantrips and jump-start and surveil cards, having at least one card that allows us to repeatedly mill our own cards is very important to the plan of the deck. Ideally, we won't cast anything except cantrips and maybe some removal spells all game, and trust that we can win the game by milling our win conditions into the graveyard. Our most explosive draws always involve at least one of these cards, and often two. The cards that really power the deck are Wand of Vertebrae and Drowned Secrets.While this change is mostly to support our sideboard, it also has the upside of making it possible for us to hard cast our Arclight Phoenixs, which doesn't come up often but is very important in some games. Now, we have a regular Grixis mana base featuring Steam Vents, Watery Grave, Sulfur Falls, and Drowned Catacomb. The original deck played no red mana and only a tiny bit of blue mana. To support the removal plan, we also made some major updates to the mana.The original build of our deck from the Instant Deck Tech really struggled with beating creatures, both in the main deck and in the sideboard. While our main deck is almost the same, dropping the mono-blue sideboard plan and overloading with sweepers and removal after sideboarding greatly improved our matchups against all of the creature decks in the format.
