The Decks to Beat, Nov '97

The top decks in major tournaments from around the world are listed below. These decks are the decks to either play, or be prepared for... because you will be playing against them. Right now the environment is wide open, and the deck listings are given in *Tentative* form. Strongest tourney cards to emerge from TE include Wasteland, Propaganda and Mogg Fanatics. I'm still looking for strong deck archetypes, so if you have a deck listing you're willing to share of a strong tourney winning deck, please send it in. I'm still looking for a good example of a Stasis deck that is built with the new environment in mind. *Note* - This page best viewed with Netscape 3.0+.
