Collect All Four World Championship Decks Relive the excitement of the 2001 World Championships with these four commemorative decks. Tom van de Logt, World Champion-Tom van de Logt's aggressive, black-red "Machine Head" deck used the good ol' "blow stuff up" method. While creatures like Plague Spitter wiped out his opponent's smaller creatures, more ferocious beasts like Flametongue Kavu aggressively cleared the board of larger threats. Alex Borteh, Finalist-Alex Borteh's monoblue combo deck contained twelve 1-toughness creatures. These helped hold the board until his Static Orb-Opposition combo could lock down his opponents' permanents-clearing the way for a horde of Merfolk that pour through for the victory. Antoine Ruel, Semifinalist-Antoine Ruel's blue-black-red control deck survived the pressure in the early game with its almost overwhelming card-drawing capability. And in the end, Nether Spirit kept rising from his graveyard to take down his opponents. Jan Tomcani, Quarterfinalist-Jan Tomcani's green-red-black "Fires" deck used early mono-producing creatures to play a quick Fires of Yavimaya. Shortly thereafter, Tomcani's hasted big creatures pounded opponents' life totals to dust.
