Here's the list :
.705 4 Bridge From Below
.666 4 Cabal Therapy
.700 3 Dread Return*
.675 2 Flame-Kin Zealot
.684 4 Golgari Grave-Troll
.678 4 Golgari Thug
.691 4 Ichorid
.1967 3 Life from the Loam
.681 4 Narcomoeba
.680 4 Stinkweed Imp
.398 4 Bazaar of Baghdad
Just mulligan till having a turn 3 Bazaar of Baghdad (I found that after turn 3, you must have an insane luck to win)

Ooh I won this challenge finally. It was a hard job. No tricks work anymore. Serum powder does not work either. Anything that let you start with more than two cards in your hand makes you kicked out immediately.
Also, 40-card decks are not allowed anymore.

In the end, this is the 60-cards dredge deck that worked it out for me:

.398 4 Bazaar of Baghdad
.12 4 Bayou
.1707 4 Overgrown Tomb
.403 2 City of Brass
.8981 4 Narcomoeba
.1518 1 Imperial Seal
.62 1 Demonic Tutor
.8524 2 Dread Return
.7865 4 Golgari Thug
.5824 3 Ichorid
.7967 4 Stinkweed Imp
.8900 4 Bridge from Below
.171 4 Nether Shadow
.1860 3 Ashen Ghoul
.1542 4 Crop Rotation
.5971 1 Living Wish
.7862 4 Golgari Grave-Troll
.7894 4 Life from the Loam
.7844 2 Flame-Kin Zealot
.17 1 Black Lotus

WARNING: do NOT use Golgary Thug in duel. Golgary Thug in duel is bugged. If you attack or defend with it the program will lock out.

Hint: when you are proposed with mulligan you will see in what order you are going to draw the cards on the next turns. As Squee said, mulligan until you see that you can get a Bazaar at most on turn 3 (tutors and Crop Rotations are there to help you out on it). You can withstand turn 4 if in the first three turns you are going to get dredge cards, so that when you get the Bazaar you can soon start dredging.

Also, there is a bug in the Bazaar. If you play Bazaar at turn 1, at that turn it will make you discard only one card instead of three. So, in this case be sure to discard your best dredge card first!

I was not used to dredge decks. I found the dredge playstyle extremely fun and challenging.
Good luck!

Went with a dredge approach. I really want to stress that Korath's 10x faster AI seems to really help when attacking with >100 damage worth of hasted zombies. Cross your fingers and mulligan until you have a Bazaar of Baghdad in your first 3 or 4 cards, then win.
