| '''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 [[border|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 box]]es for World Championship Decks were slightly larger in size than typical [[Preconstructed theme deck|Theme deck]] boxes of the era. | | '''World Championship Decks''' were specially packaged versions of four of the top ranked decks used during the [[World Championship]]s, released by [[Wizards of the Coast]] for the years 1997 through 2004. |

While many people at this year's World Championship played this style of deck, Carlos simply played his version better than everyone else played theirs."

| | 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>{{NewRef|ask-wizards-march-2006-2006-03-01|Ask Wizards|[[Jake Theis]]|March 14, 2006}}</ref> | | 2004 was the last year for which Wizards of the Coast released a series of World Championship Decks.
