Instant Deck Tech: Selective Drake (Modern)

by SaffronOlive // Nov 1, 2018

Instant Deck Tech time! Crackling Drake has been catching on in Standard, but what about Modern? Can a one-shot kill combo build around exiling our own library bring it to prominence in the format? On Fishbowl Thursday it can! If you want your own deck considered for a future Fishbowl Thursday makes 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!
