Rulings

6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-01-12

    You can't attempt to use a dredge ability if you don't have enough cards in your library.

  • 2024-01-12

    One card draw can't be replaced by multiple dredge abilities.

  • 2024-01-12

    Dredge can replace any card draw, not only the one during your draw step.

  • 2024-01-12

    If an effect puts a card into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," you're not drawing a card. Dredge can't replace this event.

  • 2024-01-12

    Once you've announced that you're applying a card's dredge ability to replace a draw, players can't take any actions until you've put that card into your hand and milled cards.

  • 2024-01-12

    If you're drawing multiple cards, each draw is performed one at a time. For example, if you're instructed to draw two cards and you replace the first draw with a dredge ability, another card with a dredge ability (including one that was milled by the first dredge ability) may be used to replace the second draw.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Golgari Thug

7 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Golgari Thug — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
