<p>No doubt, <a href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=452961" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Underrealm Lich</a> is cool. Still I am wondering, how it interacts with <a href="https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Dredge" rel="nofollow noreferrer">dredge</a>, such as on <a href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=89001" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Life from the Loam</a>.</p>

<p>As both are replacement effects, I should be able to choose which happens, shouldn't I?</p>

I'm curious what interaction between dredge and Underrealm Lich you see that involves putting something "on top" of anything else. The existing answer seems to be correct, but if you can elaborate on your intention then a more detailed answer could be possible.

"On top" seems to imply you think the stack is used, but that's not the case. You apply one of your choice. (Then if still applicable, you apply the other.)

"On top" as in colloquial speech for "apply first".

No doubt, [Underrealm Lich](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=452961) is cool. Still I am wondering, how it interacts with [dredge](https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Dredge), such as on [Life from the Loam](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=89001).

As both are replacement effects, I should be able to choose which happens, shouldn't I?
