Instant Deck Tech: Esper Spirits (Flashback)

by SaffronOlive // Jul 22, 2016

Instant Deck Tech time! As I'm sure you know, today is release day for Eldritch Moon and one of the most hyped tribes in the set is Spirits. As a result, for today's flashback Instant Deck Tech, I thought it would be fun to go back and take a look at the Spirits deck from the original Innistrad Standard with the help of the Esper Spirits list Jon Finkle used to Top 8 Pro Tour Dark Ascension in February 2012!

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!
