What it does
McCabe, a nineteen-year-old college student from Toronto, Canada, played a fast red-blue attacking deck. The deck's main strategy is to put the opponent on the defensive, using a large number of inexpensive, efficient creatures such as Suq'Ata Lancer, Cloud Elemental, Ophidian, and Man-o'-War. It also makes good use of several "pitch" spells like Force of Will and Pyrokinesis.

Where it came from
The 1997 World Championship Decks were released by Wizards of the Coast as a commemorative product, replicating the exact sixty-card decks used by the top eight finishers at the 1997 Magic: The Gathering World Championship in Seattle. These decks were designed to allow fans to experience the competitive metagame of the era, providing a snapshot of the strategies that dominated the highest level of professional play.
The Paul McCabe deck, specifically identified by the collector number pm0a, represents the 'White Weenie' archetype that secured victory for McCabe at the tournament. The cards featured unique gold-bordered backs and signature facsimile stamps, distinguishing them from standard tournament-legal cards. While the deck itself was praised for its balance and aggressive efficiency, these replicas were intended primarily for casual play and as historical artifacts rather than for sanctioned competitive use.
