Decklists
Jakub Slemr, World Champion
"Slemr's deck features a horde of fast, black creatures. Strengthening the speed kill are a variety of spells from all five colors."
Janosch Kuhn, Finalist
"Kuhn's red, white, and blue deck maintains a sharp balance between speed and control".
Svend Geertsen, Semifinalist
"Geertsen's extremely fast monocolored deck is loaded with an army of green creatures. Giant Growth, Bounty of the Hunt, and Winter Orb provide the only noncreature power."
Paul McCabe, Semifinalist
"McCabe's fast red-blue deck puts the opponent on the defensive. A large number of inexpensive, efficient creatures overwhelm the opposition."
