In game one, you can expect to face the usual onslaught of zombie tokens courtesy of Bridge from Below. Traditional Dredge decks run cards in their sideboard to counteract the opposition's graveyard hate, but Pitch Dredge employs a transformational sideboard to dodge its opponent's sideboard cards altogether. The basic idea is that Pitch Dredge has most of the traditional broken graveyard interactions of a normal Dredge deck, but it also gets to play some "free" counterspells like Force of Will (hence the word "Pitch" in the title). If you're unfamiliar with Pitch Dredge, here's how this deck works. Kingneckbeard is the inventor of Pitch Dredge as far as I can tell, and he pilots the deck very well.
Basically, if you choose to not respect the Dredge matchup and you end up paired against a turn one Bazaar of Baghdad you're gonna have a bad time. Dredge is the kind of deck that can sometimes just lose to hate cards, but if its opponents don't respect the deck it usually wins. In second place was Dredge, a deck that hasn't been doing that well recently. Last weekend there was another Magic Online Vintage Power Nine Challenge, and it was won by thediabetical playing Ravager/Thought-Knot Workshops. Magic Online results have been panning out in a similar fashion as well. Decks centered on Thorn of Amethyst (Workshops and White Eldrazi) are doing well, and Grixis Pyromancer is the defacto best Gush deck in the current meta.
The results from recent paper events like the TMD Open, the NYSE, and Eternal Extravaganza have all shown somewhat similar results. Hello and welcome, Vintage people! The annual Vintage Championship at Eternal Weekend is fast approaching, and everyone is paying close attention to how the metagame is shaping up.
