Yeah probably so difficult that even in the 0% chance it does come back the cards would be so neutered that what’s point.

A low dredge value helps though and even a few that are quirky would be cool. Like a recurring ETB effect on a cheap artifact with dredge 2 that’s heavy on the lore. Something!

We did get a dredge card fairly recently in [[Shenanigans]], the key here was a niche (but okay priced) effect + a low dredge number. Brings it more in line with the original "fair" use of dredge (re buying useful cards)
