Being multiple cards down does not help us going into mid or late game, and if we are not fast enough, the opponent has access to more resources to try catch back up and start to take over. Dredge also tends to mull more often to find a good combination of synergy cards and put graveyard cards back into their library. Having an 8th card in hand is strong, and we don't have access to that. Yorion and the other companions also pose a threat but maybe not as clear a threat as the Lurrus + graveyard hate interactions. Lurrus is definitely the biggest problem for dredge at the moment. Dredge can easily fight through 1 piece of 'one time use' graveyard hate, but not turn after turn.

Now imagine this same loop turn after turn but with a Tormod's Crypt or Nihil Spellbomb for example. Lets talk Lurrus first, we have all seen Lurrus loop Mishra's Bauble for insane card draw value. However, established decks have some new tricks up their sleeves and there are also some new players on the block.

If we could play a companion we would, but unfortunately there is no companion that freely slots into our deck (almost as if this was the intended design of the companions).

Being a dredge gamer in modern for a couple of years now I am not putting down my favorite deck despite the shifted meta game, but would rather try tune it to combat all the new tech, as well as catch people by surprise if it has fallen off their radar slightly. Lurrus, Yorion and friends have made their way into modern and just as in standard, the decks using the companions have climbed to the top of the meta game tier list. I love playing decks that use the graveyard as a resource, nowadays I have plenty of decks to choose from that satisfy this criteria since Lurrus of the Dream-Den has been printed.
