Eidolon Dredge is a brew I invented as a Golgari deck a while back, and which I now play on MTGO as a BUG deck. It seeks to dump eidolons into the graveyard with dredgers, then return them back to your hand to pump mongrels or hounds and punch the enemy in the teeth. The deck is good against affinity, infect, stompy, and U decks. It struggles with sacrifice effects and has no game at all against teachings due to them tutoring main deck answers.
Besides having some matchup issues, the deck also has little in the way of sidedeck support as it very dominant spots. It needs 12 cards to dump things into the yard, needs at least 8 dredgers, needs 12 multicolored spells and requires 9-12 eidolons. It also has only one other option for discard creatures, which is the greatly inferior Oblivion Crown.
The side is mostly what I need help with, as the deck itself feels pretty tight right now.
every time I see and eidolon list I feel like it should be using borderposts when possible since they can fix mana and potentially give you another multi-color spell for cheap, but, if the list is too tight already, then not much point. I think the lack of any evasion or any way to remove chump blockers will ultimately prove to be a big obstacle.

Sadly as BUG is enemy colors only Mistvein Borderpost would work. I have a few too many eidolons, I could switch some of them for the borderposts.

You could run Rite of Consumption. It would work somewhat like Fling in Affinity.
