Card

Golgari Thug

Creature — Human Warrior


When Golgari Thug dies, put target creature card from your graveyard on top of your library.
Dredge 4 (If you would draw a card, instead you may put exactly four cards from the top of your library into your graveyard. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand. Otherwise, draw a card.)

"What is death?" he asked the raven. "Your next birth," it replied.

Rulings

    Dredge lets you replace any card draw, not just the one during your draw step.
  • 2013-06-07
    Once you decide to replace a draw using a card’s dredge ability, that card can’t be removed from your graveyard “in response.” (Replacement effects don’t use the stack.)
  • 2013-06-07
    You can’t use dredge unless you’re going to draw a card and the card with dredge is already in your graveyard.
  • 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
    One card draw can't be replaced by multiple dredge abilities.
  • 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
    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.
