Template:Infobox expansion 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. 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. The resulting decks are showcased in this set.
Obviously meant to be a series, reffering to the Deckmaster brand, a follow up set has never been published.
Contents
The contents of the box set are:
- The two 62-card prebuilt decks, each featuring two exclusive premium cards plus other white bordered Ice Age and Alliances 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:
Decklists
Garfield
Garfield is a red / green deck. Drop creatures as fast as you can, and use the red spells to clear the way for them to attack. Most of the creatures in the deck have such a high toughness that red burn spells won't kill them.
Creatures (17)
1 Lhurgoyf
The rares in this deck are Elkin Bottle, Jokulhaups, Karplusan Forest and Lhurgoyf.
Finkel
Finkel is a black / red deck. The deck starts by summoning effecient, versatile and hard-to-neutralize creatures. Clear a path with spot removal, and finish by hurling great balls of fire at the opponent. Use the Necropotence whenever you can.
Creatures (15)
Enchantment (1)
The rares in this deck are Balduvian Horde, Necropotence, Sulfurous Springs and Underground River.
