1995 World Championships
The 1995 World Championships for Magic: The Gathering, the second Magic World Championship, were held on 4–6 August at the Red Lion Inn Seattle Airport Hotel in Seattle, USA between August 5–7 1995.
Description
This was the first World Championship that was invite-only, and the first that included a team portion. It was a three-day tournament featuring 71 players from 19 countries. The players played ten rounds – five rounds of Sealed deck and five rounds of Standard – where points were awarded for each game win rather than match win.[1] This was also the first tournament where players weren't allowed to change their Constructed deck between the Swiss rounds and the elimination rounds.[2] In the final, the relatively unheralded Swiss player, Alexander Blumke, defeated France's Marc Hernandez 3–2.
