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.
Rulings
If one of the piles is empty, the opponent will choose whether to put the cards from the other pile into your hand or into your graveyard.
Steam Augury doesn't target any opponent. In a multiplayer game, you choose the opponent as the spell resolves.
