2001 World Championship Deck (Alex Borteh)

Alex Borteh's monoblue combo deck contained twelve 1-toughness creatures. These helped hold the board until his Static Orb-Opposition combo could lock down his opponents' permanents—clearing the way for a horde of Merfolk to pour through for the victory.

The cards produced are gold-bordered versions and do not have a standard Magic card back, making them unusable in DCI-sanctioned tournaments. The cards are also stamped with the player's autograph. This competitor release included their 60-card deck and 15-card sideboard, 12 blank proxy cards, and cards with a printed decklist, a biography of the player, and an overview of the four decks release for their respective year.
