Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Life from the Loam, from Ravnica: City of Guilds. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

Dredge was born in Ravnica: City of Guilds as the Golgari Swarm's signature mechanic, and Life from the Loam showed how far it could go. The spell itself is modest: two mana to return up to three land cards from your graveyard to your hand. Dredge 3 is the twist. Whenever you would draw a card, you may mill three cards instead and return Loam from your graveyard to your hand, ready to cast again.

Players spent years finding engines for it. Cycling lands turn every cycle into another dredge and another three lands back; fetch lands get cracked and recovered turn after turn; Wasteland and Strip Mine become a recurring lock on an opponent's mana; and Seismic Assault converts the returned lands straight into damage. In Commander, landfall and lands-in-graveyard decks treat it as a repeatable source of value that never stays dead for long.

This is the original Ravnica: City of Guilds printing, collector number 172, illustrated by Terese Nielsen, in non-foil: the card's first appearance, from the set that introduced dredge to Magic.
