Deckmasters 2001 is a box set that was released in December 2001. Richard Garfield and Jon Finkel were tasked with designing decks to pit against each other. Obviously meant to be a series,[2] referring to the Deckmaster brand, a follow-up set has never been published.
Deck Building Rules
The card pool was Ice Age and Alliances, and the reprint policy had to be taken in account. Each could only use four rare cards in the deck, and no more than two copies of any one card. Color hosers were not permitted.
Actual Match
About a month after the set was released, Garfield and Finkel played the match as promised, with Finkel winning 2 games to none.[3][4][5] The first game was fairly even, and was lost due to Garfield making a number of mistakes based on rules that had changed since he invented the game. Game 2 wasn’t even close, with Garfield mana screwed after his first two lands, and Finkel killing him quickly with a prompt Balduvian Horde.[6]
Contents
The contents of the box set are:
- The two 62-card prebuilt decks, each featuring 60 white bordered Ice Age and Alliances cards and two exclusive black bordered premium cards
- Two 20-sided Spindown life counters
- A 10-by-14 inch poster of Lhurgoyf fighting Goblin Mutant
- A full-color booklet containing decklists, expert analysis, biographies, behind-the-scenes stories
- Embossed metal Deckmasters case which can hold over 700 cards in standard sized sleeves or eleven 60 card decks.
The four premium cards in the box set are:
