What it does
Šlemr, a twenty-year-old computer analyst from Prague in the Czech Republic, said that he wasn't happy with his deck's 3—4 performance in the Standard (Type II) portion of the tournament. However, it came through for him in the elimination rounds. A black weenie deck at heart, it dips into all five colors. It also features a number of creatures that have an effect on entering play, like Man-o'-War, Uktabi Orangutan, and Nekrataal.

Where it came from
The 1997 World Championship Decks were released by Wizards of the Coast to commemorate the top-performing decks from the Magic: The Gathering World Championship held in Seattle. This specific card represents the player profile and deck strategy of Jakub Šlemr, the tournament winner who successfully navigated the competitive landscape with his innovative 'Five-Color Control' build. The release allowed players to experience the high-level strategies of professional competitors using cards that featured distinct gold-bordered backs, ensuring they remained ineligible for official sanctioned tournament play.
The design of these cards focused on transparency and educational utility for the player base. Each deck featured the signature of the professional player on the cards and included a biographical profile card like this one, offering insight into the player's history and playstyle. While these cards were received with mixed enthusiasm by competitive players due to their restricted status, they remain a significant historical artifact, documenting the specific meta-game of 1997 and the rise of Magic's early professional circuit.
