What it does
Though only fifteen years old, Ben Rubin has amassed quite an impressive tournament record. He placed second at Pro Tour™—Los Angeles and finished in the Top 16 at Grand Prix—San Francisco, his hometown. Ben played the archetypal mono-red weenie or Sligh deck at the 1998 Worlds. Although he prefers to play a more balanced deck, Rubin thought the aggressive Sligh would work well at this tournament. His deck consists of roughly one-third land, one-third direct damage, and one-third small aggressive creatures.

Where it came from
The 1998 World Championship Decks were released by Wizards of the Coast to commemorate the top eight finishers of the 1998 Magic: The Gathering World Championship held in Seattle. This specific card represents Ben Rubin, who placed in the top tier of the tournament with his signature deck design. These decks were printed with gold-bordered backs and facsimile signatures, explicitly distinguishing them from tournament-legal cards to serve as both a historical record and a learning tool for players to analyze the professional meta-game of the late nineties.
The design of the 1998 Championship series prioritized educational value, allowing the average player to experience the precise deck configurations that defined the pinnacle of competitive play. The artwork retains the original illustrations from the cards' initial printings, while the layout was updated to include the player’s name and a dedicated biography card. These decks were well-received by the community as a significant milestone in Magic: The Gathering history, bridging the gap between professional-level strategy and the broader player base.
