Arzakon is the final boss of the Magic: The Gathering (MicroProse) game (also known as Shandalar). He is the only enemy in the highest difficulty tier[1].
The two expansions, Spells of the Ancients and Duels of the Planeswalkers each had variations of the final decklist. Since they could be installed seperately, cards added for Spells were removed for Duels. The deck for the latter ended up being only one card different to the initial deck, but the former had much less overlap.
Arzakon's Deck
Original
In the original game Arzakon plays a five-colored 107-card deck.
Spells of the Ancients
In Spells the deck's filename remained 0999.dck, as it was with the original, but it was renamed "Climatic Battle". It has a stronger focus on Artifact Creatures, and uses the Urzatron combination of lands - Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant, and Urza's Tower for acceleration.
Duels of the Planeswalkers
Arzakon's deck in Duels was almost identical to the original version. The only difference was that it didn't include a copy of Mishra's Workshop.
