In reply to Michael. I've been messing around with the deck all weekend on MTGO and have never once been happy with or wished that I had Troll. I'll be writing an update to this with more finding for next week most likely.

I can tell you that Lotleth troll is an essential piece to the deck. It allows you to discard your dredge spells or get your vengevines and gravecrawlers in the yard that you need to. It’s the only creature in the deck that can play defense and can regenerate. Not to mention sometimes you just discard a bunch of creatures to it and your opponent cannot remove it and a big trampling threat is enough to get the job done.

In reply to q ed2. I'm on board with Vengevine.

Foil Insolent Neonates are probably a good pickup if you can still find them cheap.

In reply to Chaz V. Prized Amalgam foils too, it's almost always a 4x - card proved to be a very good boon to the archetype.

I was just looking at Dredgevine lists in the recent SCG Modern States results.

It for sure seems it’s creeping up in relevancy, and there’s a few cards of note (which you also outlined) that seem like very good positions to have in stock.

Gravecrawler seems ready to start increasing, much like Geralf’s Messenger recently did. It had a DD printing but from the looks of it did absolutely nothing to slow it down. Foils are still the play I think, and are less than a 2x multiplier.

There’s also Goblin Lore, which seems incredible value.
