Instant Deck Tech: 1996 Necro (Historical Standard)


Instant Deck Tech time! As we wait for Aether Revolt to release, instead of looking at a current Standard deck, for Type 2 (Standard) Tuesday this week we are heading into a time machine to look at one of the most broken Standard decks of all time: Necro from 1996!

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!
