Deck Overview Card Illus. | | Rarity | | Color | | Source | 1999 World Championships decks | 1999-? | Info | Collect All Four World Championshop Decks
Relive the excitement of the 1999 World Championships with these four commemorative decks.
Kai Budde, World Champion — World Champion Kai Budde's red-artifact deck employed more than 30 artifacts to generate large amounts of mana. Big creatures like Masticore or Covetous Dragon became a threat to any opponent, and a well-timed Wildfire added the finishing touch.
Mark Le Pine, Finalist — Mark Le Pine's aggressive "Sped Red" deck applied the pressure early with 11 fast creatures before shifting into land-destruction mode. A late-game Cursed Scroll and Hammer of Bogardan would finish all his mana-crippled opponents.
Matt Linde, Semifinalist — Matt Linde's speedy mono-green deck contained 26 low-cost creatures. Supplementing this nasty creature assault were four Rancors and four Giant Growths. If his opponent wasn't smothered by turn five, Linde's Cursed Scrolls would pick up the slack.
Jakub Šlemr, Quarterfinalist — Jakub Šlemr's mono-black deck controlled the board with Cursed Scrolls, Powder Kegs, and Phyrexian Plaguelords. His "Black Control" creation also pounded his opponents early with discard effects found in Ravenous Rats, Duress, and Stupor.

(Champion)
Known as the "King of the Grand Prix", Kai Budde earned an unprecedented three Grand Prix titles in 1999. Though he went only 4-2 during the Swiss oirtion of the World Championships, he cruised through the Final 8 to become the 1999 World Champion. The 109-year-old köln, Germany native played a red-artifact deck that contained more than 30 artifacts. He used those artifacts to quickly generate huge amounts of mana, with which he could play a big creature like Masticore or Covetous Dragon. He would then finish off his opponent with a well-timed Wildfire.

(Semifinalist)
Semifinalist Matt Linde is no stranger to high-level Magic® competition. The 18-year-old Maryland native was the 1998 U.S. National Champion. Linde played a very fast mono-green "Stompy" deck with 256 creatures — 24 of which cost two mana or less to play. Supplementing this furious creature assault were four Rancors and four Giant Growths. Though the deck was designed to win by turn five, it did feature four Cursed Scrolls in case the game dragged on.

Šlemr, along with fellow teammate and quarterfinalist Gary Wise, played a mono-black deck coined "Black Control". He used discard effects early with cards like RAvenous Rats, Duress, and Stupor. However, the majority of his deck was dedicated to board control with Cursed Scrolls, Powder Kegs, and Phyrexian Plaguelords.
