A standard list (or one like yours) will probably end up being around $130, maybe a little more.  Bridges ($15), Ichorid ($6), and Therapy ($5) are the most expensive mainboard pieces.  Elesh Norn ($12) and Iona ($7) are the more expensive sideboard cards but those are usually singletons.  Most of the rest of the cards are <$2.

*Prices are just estimates. 

Then just practice with it, and it won't be a disgrace.  Its a super fun deck to play, even with all of the grave hate in the meta

Well I need to buy Elesh Norn and Iona anyways for my reanimator. I decided I'm going to sideboard a bic lighter for when grafdigger's abomination comes out.

Adam Prosak wins SCG Cincinnati with dredge! His list can be found here

What I like most is the four Careful Study and four Faithless Looting. I will probably adopt some number of Study in my list. It's definitely the best draw spell in games two and three, since it advances your plan, digs for answers, and doesn't cause you to over-commit. 

His only target was FKZ, which was a good choice in my opinion. With LED, I think it would have been wrong for him not to use that guy.

He opted to use three of Breakthrough and Cabal Therapy. I can get behind three Breakthrough, since it's the card I side out the most by far. Most of the times it feels like overkill, to be honest. Less than four Therapy probably isn't optimal though. He did win the event with three so you can't discredit him, but Therapy is what starts making tokens in most games and you always want to see one. He didn't even toss the fourth in the sideboard, which is crazy. Although, he did stick the fourth Breakthrough in there. 

To boil it down, he used 10 gold lands, 11 dredgers, 15 draw, and lots of discard. This list has more discard than I've ever seen, I think. 4 Looting, 4 Study, 4 LED, 4 Pimp, 3 Breakthough, 3 Therapy... that's very impressive. 

I think he knew everyone was packing burn hate, instead of grave hate, and took advantage of the situation. 

Dredge has a big target on its back now, but that's when you can actually test how good you are with it. Playing through hate is going to make you better with the deck, so now is the time to improve.

That list only has 56 cards I presume Jin and Elesh were in the 60.

I'm playing this list tonight at a small local store. It'll probably be 15 or so people. 

4 City of Brass
4 Gemstone Mine
4 Undiscovered Paradise

4 Putrid Imp
4 Golgari Grave-Troll
4 Stinkweed Imp
4 Golgari Thug
4 Ichorid
4 Narcomoeba

4 Lion's Eye Diamond
4 Breakthrough
4 Careful Study
4 Faithless Looting
4 Bridge from Below
4 Cabal Therapy

Sideboard
4 Chain of Vapor
2 Ingot Chewer
2 Wispmare
3 Coffin Purge
2 Dread Return
1 Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
1 Iona, Shield of Emeria

---

I have heard a few people at the Source preaching over and over again how Dread Return is a sideboard card. I mean, they have been so persistent about this for months, so I'm going to give it a try. After only a few matches online, I think they might be right though. I think there is enough sacrificing between Therapy and Ichorid. Coliseum isn't great with Paradise and between the 12 other draw, there is a sufficient amount.

LED can come out in multiples and so can Ichorid and Breakthrough. Those are the three cards I board out most.

Post-board:
6 enchantment hate
6 artifact hate
3 surgical extraction & loam hate
4 combo pieces
   - Elesh Norn: Dredge, Tribal, Maverick
   - Iona: ANT, Elves, Blade

Pretty excited about it. I'll try to keep track of my games and write a report.

Hey hey hey here is this wicked dredge deck that runs off NO MANA. It is basically dredge make zombies kill but it doesn't run Flame-kin which I consider still very viable. In any case here it is :3
3  Dakmor Salvage

3 lands

4  Bloodghast
3  Gigapede
4  Golgari Grave-Troll
4  Golgari Thug
4  Ichorid
1  Iona, Shield of Emeria
4  Narcomoeba
4  Nether Shadow
4  Phantasmagorian
4  Shambling Shell
4  Stinkweed Imp
4  Street Wraith
1  Woodfall Primus

45 creatures
4  Bridge from Below
4  Cabal Therapy
4  Dread Return

12 other spells


Sideboard

1  Akroma, Angel of Wrath
1  Ancestor's Chosen
1  Blazing Archon
4  Contagion
1  Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
1  Gigapede
1  Inkwell Leviathan
1  Iona, Shield of Emeria
1  Llawan, Cephalid Empress
1  Sphinx of the Steel Wind
1  Stormtide Leviathan
1  Terastodon

15 sideboard cards


 It is not quite the turn 1-2 combo that Mana dredge can pull off but it has variety in its killings. Discuss?

EDIT: Apologies forgot to add who this was it was Nicholas Rausch who used it to win the StarCity Games Open
