The purposes of this primer thread are to: Far less comprehensive primers can also be found on other MTG forums. Past primers on this forum were written in 2012 by Michael Keller (Hollywood) and in 2009 by Damon Whitby ( Parcher). This is a primer and discussion thread for Dredge with and without Lion’s Eye Diamond in Legacy.

I am 6’2” and do not own any Volcanic Islands (unnecessary tidbit sorry). I appreciate decks that are considered “outsiders” and thoroughly enjoy writing about my tournament experiences. I have played Dredge, Food Chain Goblins, and Two-Land Belcher in Vintage and Dredge, Goblins, Belcher, Spiral Tide, Spanish Inquisition, Burn, and Cephalid Breakfast in Legacy. I currently play on MTGO under the handle Ryan_Leaf (tl dr story). I have played in various Legacy scenes including Chicago, NoVa, Baltimore, and Dallas over the years.

My underwhelming claim to fame is that I beat David Gearhart (deep6ixer) and Roland Chang in Legacy at one point, and am undefeated against Doug Linn (hi-val) in my lifetime. A short blurb/justification about me: I have played Magic since 1999 and have played Dredge since it was printed in Ravnica block.
