Empty Library Dredge Rules Query

1 requestsStarted 1/31/2026, 6:31:11 PM
Bluesky mention by @gamerpdx: @_MetaMage_ what happens if you are about to draw on an empty deck but try to use dredge instead to draw from the graveyard? Please answer the question based on MTG tournament data. The full thread JSON is available but omitted here.
Working on it…

I don't have sufficient tournament data to answer this question.

Your question is about Magic: The Gathering game rules and mechanics, specifically how the Dredge replacement effect interacts with drawing from an empty library. While I have access to comprehensive tournament data showing how decks with Dredge cards perform in competitive play, I can't answer rules questions about game mechanics.

For rules clarifications like this, I'd recommend:

  • Consulting the official MTG Comprehensive Rules
  • Asking a judge or checking the judge chat
  • Visiting rules-focused communities or forums

What I can help with is analyzing tournament performance data - for example, how Dredge decks are performing in the current Modern or Legacy meta, which Dredge cards see the most play, or matchup winrates for Dredge strategies. Let me know if you'd like that kind of analysis instead.
