The Surprising Genius of the Worst Deck to Win a Pro Tour

What's the worst deck to ever win a Pro Tour?

While I'm pretty sure it's still this one I think Magic Pro Tour Legend Olle Rade doesn't get nearly enough credit for how innovative his deck really was.

While sure, it's an absolute pile that no one would be caught with in 2024 back in 1996 for how much Olle was doing wrong there's a lot right about this deck.

At the heart of the first win of one of the greatest Magic players to ever play and a first class Hall of Famer this deck spoke at length about how good Olle was at playing his style, metagaming and honestly outplaying everyone back in the early days.

Looks like Block Constructed got broken again and you won't believe the creatures that get it done.

Move over Bloomburrow, there are some old school monsters ready to take you back to the third ever MTG Pro Tour.
