What it does
Twenty-three-year-old professional Magic® player Brian Hacker of San Diego, California, thought he had a good chance of winning the finals with his white weenie deck. Hacker said his deck was well set up to defeat his opponents with its twenty-something aggressive creatures—including a number of shadow and en-Kor creatures. Unlike traditional white weenie decks, which rely on Armageddon as a major threat card, Hacker's deck uses Cataclysm, which he feels better complements the use of Empyrial Armor.

Where it came from
The 1998 World Championship Decks were released by Wizards of the Coast as a way for the general public to experience the strategies used by top competitors in the Magic: The Gathering World Championship. These decks were non-randomized, fixed-list reproductions of the exact decks piloted by eight finalists during the 1998 tournament in Seattle. This specific card represents the player bio insert, a hallmark of the series intended to provide context and prestige to the professional players who defined the competitive meta at the time.
The design of these decks emphasized a professional aesthetic, utilizing gold-bordered backs to ensure they could not be used in sanctioned tournament play. The bio inserts were crafted to highlight the achievements of players like Brian Hacker, who earned his spot as a deck designer and representative of the era's peak skill level. While the cards themselves were functional, the inclusion of personal biographies sought to humanize the competitive circuit and foster a stronger connection between the burgeoning professional scene and the broader player base.
