Instant Deck Tech time! Is exiling 35 Shadowborn Apostles from our deck with Surgical Extraction to turn on Shelldock Isle a legitimate plan in Modern? On Fishbowl Thursday it is! If you want 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.
