COLLECT ALL FOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP DECKS

Relive the excitement of the 2003 World Championships with these four commemorative decks.

DANIEL ZINK

World Champion
Daniel Zink's white-blue-green "Wake" deck is a control deck at heart. Once the powerful enchantment Mirari's Wake is in play, the deck produces more mana, draws more cards, counters more spells, and makes more Soldiers than opponents can possibly handle.
DAVE HUMPHERYS

Semifinalist
Dave "The Hump" Humpherys' blue-green deck combines the many madness cards from the Torment set, including Basking Rootwalla, Arrogant Wurm, and Circular Logic, with discard-enablers like Aquamoeba and Wild Mongrel for tremendous effect.
PEER KRÖGER

Quarterfinalist
Hometown hero Peer Kröger's "Reanimator" deck was a nightmare for his opponents! This black-red deck excels at putting scary monsters into the graveyard and then bringing them into play.
WOLFGANG EDER

Quarterfinalist
Wolfgang Eder introduced the black-red "Goblin Bidding" deck to the world at the European Championships. The typical Goblin hoard deck gets an incredible midgame play in Patriarch's Bidding, which brings every Goblin in the graveyard back into play.

DANIEL ZINK
 World Champion

Daniel Zink, a student from Bochum, Germany, played the control deck that defined this year's World Championships. The white-blue-green "Wake" deck is named after the powerful enchantment that's the heart of the deck. Once Mirari's Wake is in play, the deck procudes more mana, draws more cards, counters more spells, and makes more Soldiers than opponents can possibly handle. Zink had help from fellow German and 2002-2003 Player of the Year Kai Budde in adapting the "Wake" deck to the post-Eighth Edition environment.

DAVE HUMPHERYS
 Semifinalist

The Top 8 is familiar territory for professional Maic player Dave Humpherys. With over $130,000 in career winnings and a Pro Tour championship of his resume, "The Hump" advanced to the Worlds semifinals for the second year in a row where he lost to eventual champion Daniel Zink. The blue-green madness deck he played has been a Standard mainstay for more than a year. It revolves around Torment madness cards like Basking Rootwalla and Circular Logic, together with discard-enablers like Aquamoeba and Wild Mongrel. Humpherys, who recently earned his Ph.D. from MIT, credits this version of the deck to Norway's Sigurd Eskeland.

PEER KRÖGER
 Quarterfinalist

Hometown hero Peer Kröger played his own version of the classic "Reanimator" deck to an impressive record during this year's World Championships. The twenty-eight-year-old communications and computer science student nicknamed his deck "Herbert Wise" after the famous H.P. Lovecraft work "Herbert Wise — Reanimator". Winning with this is a two-step process: Step 1. Use Entomb or Buried Alive to quickly get daunting creatures into the graveyard. Step 2. Bring the creatures back ti life with Zombify or Doomed Necromancer. The mostly black deck also uses Burning Wish to find just the right answers to deal with opponents' plans.

WOLFGANG EDER
 Quarterfinalist

Wolfgang Eder introduced this black-red "Goblin Bidding" deck to the world at this year's European Championships. The twenty-two-year-old student from Weinheim, Germany, says the inspiration for the deck came from trying to give the typical Goblin tribe something to do in the midgame. He achieved this by adding black to the deck for Patriarch's Bidding, which brings every Goblin in the graveyard back to play. And with cards like Goblin Warchief and Siege-Gang Commander, those Goblins have haste and bring friends with them! A resolved Patriarch' Bidding  is usually game over.
