Lore

Why it matters

This card features the deck list used by Jakub Šlemr to secure his victory at the 1997 Magic: The Gathering World Championship. These World Championship decks are distinct among collectors for their gold-bordered backs and facsimile signatures, serving as a preserved snapshot of competitive play from the game’s early years.

Card face

What it does

1997 World Champion Jakub Šlemr came within two matches of becoming the first person to repeat as World Champion. The 22-year-old Prague native earned a flawless 6—0 resord during the Standard portion of the Swiss rounds. Šlemr, along with fellow teammate and quarterfinalist Gary Wise, played a mono-black deck coined "Black Control." He used discard effects early with cards like Ravenous Rats, Duress, and Stupor. However, the majority of his deck was dedicated to board control with Cursed Scrolls, Powder Kegs, and Phyrexian Plaguelords.

Provenance

Where it came from

The 1999 World Championship Decks were released by Wizards of the Coast to allow players to experience the exact card lists used by the top eight competitors at the 1999 Magic: The Gathering World Championship. These decks were intended as a bridge for the casual market, offering an accessible way to play with high-level competitive strategies, though the cards themselves were printed with distinct backings and gold-bordered faces to distinguish them from standard tournament-legal cards.

The specific card featuring Jakub Šlemr highlights the deck used by the Czech player who achieved a remarkable career by winning the 1997 World Championship and maintaining a strong presence in the professional circuit throughout the late 1990s. The design aesthetic for this set centered on celebrating the individual player's success, featuring the player's signature on the card face and providing a brief biographical summary that contextualized their achievement within the evolution of professional Magic gameplay.
