While this was partly because people simply assumed Dredge couldn't work without the banned cards (without Dread Return, the Bridge from Below combo doesn't work, and without the combo, traditional Dredge was off the table in Modern), it's also that the deck was simply lurking behind the scenes, waiting for the right pieces to be printed
The deck also features a ton of acceleration to help you quickly cast your eldrazi creatures as well as removal to deal with your opponents' early game threats
So give it a few more reprints, folks, and we'll see who really comes out on top
From tokens to sideboards, trade fodder to separate decks entirely, the small cells add extra utility for the case
Thats not actually the only strategy at work here, though
Creatures in MTG can be defined by their type and subtype, so we can have human ninjas, human rogues, human warriors, and so on
