Problem is, this matchup really doesn't happen all that much anymore. Essentially, having four free ]s is very good.

Against burn, the race to 0 is real, and the life gain makes the matchup that much better. The matchup CC helps improve against the most, burn, practically doesn't exist anymore, at least not in the competitive scene. This ends up meaning dredge is a lot more variant game one, where it either has an explosive couple of turns and closes it out quickly, or you draw too many dead cards and do nothing. From my testing, most opening hands have at least one of those two cards. Now, you have 8 cards you never ever want in your hand, and this scenario happens a lot more. Before CC, having 4 ] meant every once in a while you had to mulligan a hand because it essentially had 1-4 blank cards. The most obvious being it doubles the number of cards in your deck you absolutely never want to draw. That said, it's not without it's downsides. I think, overall, CC has made dredge better. In matchups where you're racing in life totals, it gives that little bit of extra reach to close out games quicker. Creeping chill is really good in this deck.I have a few thoughts on ] in dredge that I wanted to share, and I was hoping to get some thoughts from other players who've played with it as well.
