World champ decks?
Jason Stratos Papadopoulos
I am in the throes of perverse curiosity. Does anyone out there know
what went into a deck or two that won the world championship? How
about some sort of national championship?

We've been discussing the World Championship decks on mtg-strategy-l,

'world champ' deck, but don't have an airplane ticket. I think what WotC
should do is have regional tournaments (citywide, etc), and the winners gets
some small prizes, and an airplane ticket to challenge other regional champs.
The regional champs should have a choice to withdraw and collect bigger
prizes, and just stay as a regional champ (considering they might not have
the time to play another big game..). I don't have a champ deck so I don't
have any rights to say this, but I think many people who do have champ decks
will agree with me....comments? especially from WotC?

Maybe so, but when you get right down to it who gives a hoot? I
realize that the prestige and importance of the award is mind-boggling,
but I suggest you just think of it as a scavenger hunt in which one of
the things you need to collect is transportation both ways.

I think what WotC should do is try to convince MtG players to get
some perspective on just what it means to be "World Champ". For crying
out loud, it ain't the Nobel Peace Prize.

I have a friend who has a champ deck, but I know he isn't loosing
any sleep over the terrible injustice of the world. The failings of the
IU basketball team frustrate Graham a lot more than *any* aspect of the
Convocation tournament system.

No such thing as a champ deck.
Takes a champ player. He'll make good use of whatever deck is handed
to him; if he's given a decent selection of cards, he'll make a good
deck.
