The Monstrous Carabid puzzles me – with very little red mana, no unearth, and it won’t be cast – isn’t there a better creature to use just for cycling and perhaps a creature that is pro-white and has flying such as Malakir Bloodwitch? You even gain one life and they lose one life when Bloodwitch comes into play.
Also I added Corrupted Zendikon – I use it on a Crypt of Agadeem to return it to my hand if it is destroyed, but better than that, in place of Fate Stitcher, I run Tideforce Elemental which not only allows me to tap or untap the Crypt, I can untap my creatures and tap my opponent’s creature if need be.
With a timely landfall it gets to untap! That means you have a super-turbo charged mana Crypt!

[...] Dredgevine decklist to a top four finish at a 5K tournament with 232 players. Like the previous graveyard deck in Standard, Dredgevine is great against slow control decks, solid against midrange decks, and [...]

i think bloodghast has a place in this deck… free creatures every turn is very helpful.

Actually, I think the deck has a bad matchup to UW Control because of Tectonic Edge. But it seems to have an improved matchup against Jund (maybe 55/45) because Jund Charm has left most Jund sideboards. Still, a turn two Leech is a big problem.

this is a good wrench to throw in the current metagame of jund vs. blue white control. how would they sideboard against this deck?

pithing needle or spreading seas may answer a crypt of agadeem, which the deck hinges on.

i think this might be at the top of a list of tier 2 sleeper decks.

This is a cool deck. I have been running a couple of different variations just to see it possibilities. Its nice to see that someone has pulled a clever combination going against all the straight forward in standard right now.

Well, on the stack to the above question, the Slavedriver unearths for 4 mana and does 4 ground damage
Extractor Demon unearths for 3, which can be a bit much sometimes, and does 5 damage that is flying plus it’s mill effect.
Sedraxis Specter unearths for 2, and does 3 damage flying and it also hurts their hand.
Slavedriver doesn’t really help the combo, and all you get is a single 2/2 Zombie that can only really chump block.

I love this deck, once I saw it I ordered all of the cards (minus fetchlands, which I traded for) from Troll and Toad. It cost me forty bucks, and it is the funnest deck I’ve played with. Every time I’ve used it, minus a couple of mana screws, I either win on turn 5 or 6, and not many people at the shop I go to runs sideboards, let alone graveyard hate.
I think this is going to become the thing to beat at my shop.
