Instant Deck Tech: Axebane Alchemist (Pauper)

by SaffronOlive // Mar 8, 2018

Instant Deck Tech time! It's Fishbowl Thursday, and this week we're heading to Pauper to check out a deck that's looking to make infinite mana. How does one manage to make infinite mana with just commons? What's the best payoff once you mana to make infinite mana? Let's break it down! Then, if you want your deck considered for a future edition of Fishbowl Thursday make sure to leave a link in the comments, or you can email me at SaffronOlive@MTGGoldfish.com.

Don't forget, if you want to see this deck made into videos, you can vote by liking, commenting and subscribing to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel!
