Instant Deck Tech: Persistocrats (Pauper)

by SaffronOlive // Dec 27, 2018

Instant Deck Tech time! Are there enough self-sacrifice synergies to make an aristocrats-style deck work in Pauper? On Fishbowl Thursday there are! If you'd like your own deck considered for a future 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!
