Instant Deck Tech: GR Spiders (1996, Time Travel Standard)

by SaffronOlive // Mar 28, 2017

Instant Deck Tech time! Some people say that our current Standard is horrible, so instead of looking at another build of Gideon or Constrictor, let's travel back in time to look at a truly horrible Standard deck: GR Spiders, which is widely believed to be the worst deck to ever win a Pro Tour!

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!
