Several families of Drake bear as arms the wyvern, or two-legged dragon and it is worthy of remark that in giving to various pieces of cannon the names of monsters and animals of prey, that of ' drake' was assigned to a peculiar species of gun, as those of caliver, basilisk, culverin, fawconet, saker-all appellations of serpents and rapacious birds-were to others. Le Dragun, the Anglo-Norman form, occurs in the Hundredorum Rolls, but the nearest approach to this that I have seen in modem times is Drago, a name which existed at Ely about a century since. The name is "not from the waterfowl, but from Anglo-Saxon draca (Latin draco,) a dragon. The surname Dredge is derived from the Old English word draca or from the Old Danish word draki, which both mean dragon. It was a name for a person who was a a fierce, powerful person. You can then use Dredge to pull that card to the top of your deck and access its powerful stats and abilities far sooner than if you just skipped on the mechanic altogether.Dredge is an ancient name dating from the times of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. For example, the Hunter card, Azsharan Saber, on death, sends a ghost of itself to the bottom of your deck. The information is very useful if you are paying attention.įinally, Dredge has a few cards that interact with it indirectly. This knowledge is also very powerful because you can more easily predict what cards are going to come up at any given time. What does this mean? Well, it means you know what the last two cards in your deck are going to be 100 percent of the time. The cards at the bottom of your deck will stay there. Not only that, but Dredge doesn’t force a shuffle once used. This lets you play future turns with more certainty than usual, and this power is not to be underestimated. This lets you guarantee your next draw - whether that be from a Draw mechanic, or simply when you start your next turn. Firstly, putting a card from the bottom of your deck to the top of your deck is great.
