Good ol' Thug, backbone of Dredge decks. Looks like he picked up a wicked sickle for this round.

The art's dropped in quality but he's still as scary as ever

THIS needed this new art EXTREMELY much, and WOW what a hit! :D

Basically the only reason I didn't want to build a dredge deck was because of Bazaar of Baghdad's price and not quite epic art, and because I knew Golgari Thug was so crucial and I didn't like his art either. :P

Well, now I can buy 4 of these guys at least to go with my Premium: Graveborn cards! (Cabal Therapy and Dread Return) ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

As soon as they make a Foil Promo of Ichorid.....@.@

I find it amusing how much of the Dredge Deck you can get in Reprints: Cephalid Coliseum, Cabal Therapy, Putrid Imp, Dread Return, Golgari Thug, Golgari Grave-Troll....

Very cool new art, although i'll probably always miss the "may"-clause on this guy.
I like the old art about as much, although he was almost too much of a hulk to just be a 1/1 on Ravnica's art.

Fantastic art, fantastic duel decks. I love all the art and new cards, and the decks are well designed. The golgari could have used some rampant growths and doom blades, though, so I added them in myself.

Not as easy to spot this alt-art thug in a spread out graveyard.

Absolutely loving this new artwork. That’s exactly what I imagine Golgari humans to look like.

Combo with Altar's Reap, to get a creature back, then dredge ol' Thuggy here back as well.

If anyone is wondering why this dredge card may be better then some of the others, just imagine you have Narcomoeba Skullclamp and Golgari Thug. I will clamp Narcomoeba, draw 2 cards, clamp golgari thug, trigger on the stack for when it does, put narcomoeba on top of the library. replace the first draw effect with dredge, narcomoeba trigger from mill, goes onto the battlefield, play golgari thug, ect ect.
