The top decks from the U.S. Open/Nationals and European Championships are listed below. These decks are the decks to either play, or be prepared for... because you will be playing against them . The environment is being redefined by the introduction of "Exodus", which has given rise to some new deck types, and revitalized older ones. Oath of Druids and Spike Weaver have made an impact on the tournament scene, as has Paladin en-Vec, Cataclysm, Survival of the Fittest, Recurring Nightmare and Carnophage. "The Oath", in particular, has given rise to a new deck style featuring disposable creatures. ProsBloom continues to be strong. *Note* - This page best viewed with Netscape 3.0+.
