Dredge
Dredge is a static ability that functions only while the card with dredge is in a player’s graveyard. “Dredge N” means “As long as you have at least N cards in your library, if you would draw a card, you may instead mill N cards and return this card from your graveyard to your hand.”
A player with fewer cards in their library than the number required by a dredge ability can’t mill any of them this way.
Disturb
Disturb is an ability found on the front face of some double-faced cards (see rule 712, “Double-Faced Cards”). “Disturb [cost]” means “You may cast this card transformed from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than its mana cost.” See rule 712.8c.
A resolving double-faced spell that was cast using its disturb ability enters the battlefield with its back face up.
Rulings
All players get to see which card you chose at random.
Except for the card that you return to your hand, reordering your graveyard won’t affect anything that’s currently targeting or enchanting a card in your graveyard. Whatever it is will be able to track the card it’s targeting or enchanting as your graveyard is reordered.
The easiest way to choose a card at random from your graveyard is to turn your graveyard face down, shuffle it, and pick a card. You’re not normally allowed to reorder your graveyard, but since this card lets you do it anyway, it’s okay to mix the cards up while you’re picking randomly.
If you have multiple cards in your graveyard with the same name, and one of them is being targeted by another spell on the stack or enchanted (with Spellweaver Volute, for example), you must differentiate them so you know which one (if any) is chosen at random. In that case, it may be better to use dice to choose a card at random, or temporarily use a proxy card to represent the targeted card.
