Not that difficult to achieve using cards like morality shift.

"If you've got 20 creatures in your graveyard, you should have won already."
That's rather .. ignorant. There are plenty of ways to get creatures into your graveyard quickly, that don't involve slowing the game down excessively. Take advantage of another player milling you, forcing you to discard cards, or even force yourself to do that. It also depends on the deck you go against too.

This card is best buds with Pact of Negation.
There's no creature in Magic that has "return an enchantment from your graveyard to the battlefield" as a comes-into-play ability, which is a shame, because Dread Returning a Mortal Combat to play with an overfull graveyard would be the funniest Dredge win condition ever.
Player 1: "I dredge Golgari Grave-Troll again, and..."
Player 2: "Hold up a second. Like, half your deck's in the graveyard already. You don't even have a single Ichorid, Bloodghast, or Bridge From Below in there. Is this your unluckiest game ever, or, uh, does your deck even have a way to win?"
Player 1: *grin* You know how Dredge basically always relies on the same stupid combo?
Player 2: Yeah, tell me about it...
Player 1: Well, *my* Dredge deck's the C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER.

Probably pointless in a Dredge deck since things will be hopping in and out of the graveyard and killing the opponent in short order. It looks like a good alternate win condition in Commander, where games can get drawn out forever and you can have a creature-laden 100-card deck to dump in the graveyard (Traumatize says hi!).

A pity theres that "At your upkeep" clause. Give them time to react.
