Instant Deck Tech: UG Crush (Standard)

by SaffronOlive // May 24, 2017

Instant Deck Tech time! Almost a year ago Crush of Tentacles decks were en vogue and powerful enough to win some tournaments, but then Den Protector rotated and the strategy faded away. Is it time for Crush to come back with the help of Greenwarden of Murasa filling the Den Protector roll?

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!
