The Dredge Mechanic - Failed MtG Designs

Throughout all of Magic, there have been tons of powerful mechanics, but few have been as instantly problematic as Dredge. The ability was printed once and only revisited on a single card, whereas other problematic mechanics have at least been revisited at some point. Despite such a short print run, Dredge has been a game defining mechanic in multiple formats for years, and Wizards has previously said they regret making the mechanic. Today, we’re going to go over exactly why this mechanic was so broken and why Wizards hasn’t ever really tried to fix it.
