| '''World Championship Decks''' were specially packaged versions of four of the top ranked decks used during the [[Magic World Championships]], released by [[Wizards of the Coast]] for the years 1997 through 2004. The cards produced were gold-bordered versions, and thus are '''not''' legal for use in [[DCI]]-sanctioned tournaments. The cards were also stamped with the player's autograph. Each competitor's release included their 60-card [[deck]] and 15-card [[sideboard]], 12 blank [[proxy]] cards, and cards with a printed decklist, a biography of the player, and an overview of the four decks release for their respective year. Due to the larger than usual collection of 90 cards per product the deck boxes for World Championship Decks were slightly larger in size than typical [[Preconstructed theme deck|Theme deck]] boxes of the era. | | {{SubTabs |

| ===[[Jakub Slemr]], World Champion=== | | ==Description== |
| "Slemr's deck features a horde of fast, black creatures. Strengthening the speed kill are a variety of spells from all five colors."
| | The cards produced were [[Card frame#Gold border|gold-bordered]] versions and did not have a standard Magic [[card back]], making them unusable in [[DCI]]-sanctioned tournaments. The cards were also stamped with the player's autograph. Each competitor's release included their 60-card [[deck]] and 15-card [[sideboard]], 12 blank [[proxy]] cards, and cards with a printed decklist, a biography of the player, and an overview of the four decks release for their respective year. Due to the larger than usual collection of 90 cards per product the [[deck box]]es for World Championship Decks were slightly larger in size than typical [[preconstructed theme deck]] boxes of the era. |

When asked about 2005 World Championship Decks via an "[[Ask Wizards]]", [[Jake Theis]], Assistant Brand Manager for ''Magic: The Gathering'', stated, "We currently have no plans to release the 2005 World Championship decks. We try to have a full product offering for our fans, and the increased popularity of the [[Fat pack|Fat Pack]] seems to have gobbled up the demand for a fourth ''Magic'' product (after [[Boosters]], [[Tournament pack|Tournament Packs]], and [[Preconstructed theme deck|Theme Decks]])."<ref>{{DailyRef|ask-wizards-march-2006-2006-03-01|Ask Wizards|[[Jake Theis]]|March 14, 2006}}</ref> Simply put: not enough people bought them.<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/172179659953/hi-mark-was-just-wondering-if-there-has-been|title=Has been anything written about why the gold-bordered world championship decks are no longer made?|March 23, 2018}}</ref> |

| ===[[Gabriel Nassif]], Quarterfinalist===
| |
| "Twenty-year-old Gabriel Nassif is considered to be the best player never to have won a Pro Tour event. Designed to beat the ubiquitous 'Affinity' decks, his blue-white control deck also plays well against anti-Affinity decks. Worlds marked the third time in the season that the Parisian had made it to the final day of a Pro Tour event, and his performance earned Nassif the coveted 2004 Player of the Year award -- a title he will defend vigorously next year."

| ==Product Discontinuation== | |
| 2004 was the last year for which Wizards of the Coast released a series of World Championship Decks. When asked about 2005 World Championship Decks via an "Ask Wizards" column [[Jake Theis]], Assistant Brand Manager for Magic: The Gathering, stated, "We currently have no plans to release the 2005 World Championship decks. We try to have a full product offering for our fans, and the increased popularity of the Fat Pack seems to have gobbled up the demand for a fourth Magic product (after Boosters, Tournament Packs, and Theme Decks)." <ref>{{DailyRef|mtgcom/askwizards/0306|Ask Wizards|Jake Theis|March 14, 2006}}</ref> | |
