What it does
Jan Tomcani, from Bratislava in the Slovak Republic, came out of nowhere to stun everyone by posting a perfect 6—0 record in the Standard portion of this year's Worlds. Tomcani then proved that his run was no fluke by working his way up to the quarterfinals, where he lost to Alex Borteh in a close five-game match. Tomcani played a version of "Fires," the green-red deck that defined much of this year's metagame. Tomcani's version, which splashed black, follows the normal Fires archetype of playing cheap creatures followed by Fires of Yavimaya and big creatures like Blastoderm or Spiritmonger.

Where it came from
The 2001 World Championship Decks were released by Wizards of the Coast as a way for players to experience the high-level strategies used by the top competitors at the Magic: The Gathering World Championships. Each deck was a near-exact replica of the deck piloted by a specific professional player during the tournament, featuring gold-bordered cards that are not tournament-legal but serve as a functional historical record of the competitive meta at the time.
The 'Jan Tomcani' deck was created to commemorate the Slovakian player's performance at the 2001 World Championships in Toronto. The deck, a version of the popular 'Counter-Sliver' archetype, showcases the intricate design philosophy of the era, where deck-building relied heavily on the synergistic potential of the Sliver creature type combined with powerful disruption spells. These decks are highly regarded by collectors as a preserved snapshot of the professional circuit's evolution.
