What it does
Brian Selden, a seventeen-year-old high school student from San Diego, California, says his deck revolves around the interaction between Survival of the Fittest and Recurring Nightmare. The former is used to put creatures into the graveyard and the latter can then bring them into play. With this combo, Selden is able to use his creatures to react to an opponent's threats. The deck also contains over twenty creatures, many of which have an effect when they enter play or perform some other useful function, such as the Spike Weaver. Unlike many similar decks, Selden's dips into blue, primarily for Lobotomy. He said this was the key to many of his victories.

Where it came from
The 1998 World Championship Deck series was released by Wizards of the Coast to commemorate the top players at the Magic: The Gathering World Championships. This specific card represents the deck piloted by Brian Selden, who secured the world title that year. These decks were produced as fixed, non-randomized sets, allowing players to experience and study the exact configurations used by champions on the game's largest stage.
The design of the 1998 decks featured gold-bordered cards with non-standard backs, ensuring they remained distinct from tournament-legal cards while serving as educational tools. The artwork remains identical to the original printings found in standard sets like Tempest and Urza's Saga. The series was well-received by the community for its transparency, providing a window into the professional meta-game of the late nineties and preserving the historical record of competitive play.
