Card Collection

Look at the top six cards of your library. You may reveal a creature card from among them. If that card has mana value 2 or less, you may put it onto the battlefield and it gains haste until end of turn. If you didn't put the revealed card onto the battlefield this way, put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Destroy target land that is snow or could produce C. Overload 4BB (You may cast this spell for its overload cost. If you do, change "target" in its text to "each.")

Destroy target enchantment. If a permanent you controlled or a token was destroyed this way, draw a card.

Draw four cards, then choose X cards in your hand and discard the rest.

R: Target creature with power 2 or less gains haste until end of turn and can't be blocked this turn.

Choose one — • Destroy target artifact. • Destroy target enchantment. • Exile target card from a graveyard. Reinforce 1—W (W, Discard this card: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.)

As long as Breathkeeper Seraph is paired with another creature, each of those creatures has "When this creature dies, you may return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of your next upkeep."

Flying, lifelink Whenever this creature or another creature you control enters, if that creature entered from a graveyard or you cast it from a graveyard, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.

Menace Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, you may sacrifice an artifact. If you do, flip a coin. When you win the flip, copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy. When you lose the flip, Breeches deals damage equal to that spell's mana value to any target.

At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice this enchantment unless you pay BB. At the beginning of your end step, create a 0/1 black Thrull creature token.

1W, T: Another target creature you control gains flying and lifelink until end of turn. At the beginning of your end step, if you gained life this turn, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card.

Twenty-three-year-old professional Magic® player Brian Hacker of San Diego, California, thought he had a good chance of winning the finals with his white weenie deck. Hacker said his deck was well set up to defeat his opponents with its twenty-something aggressive creatures—including a number of shadow and en-Kor creatures. Unlike traditional white weenie decks, which rely on Armageddon as a major threat card, Hacker's deck uses Cataclysm, which he feels better complements the use of Empyrial Armor.

Pro Tour™ veteran Brian Kibler piloted his green-white-red "Red Zone 2K2" deck to an impressive finish at this year's Worlds. This deck quickly tried to put its many creatures into the "red zone," the attacking zone on the playmats used on the Pro Tour circuit. The twenty-one—year-old Kibler attends Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and is part of the "Mini Colony" playtest group that designed the Red Zone 2K2 deck.

Brian Selden, a seventeen-year-old high school student from San Diego, California, says his deck revolves around the interaction between Survival of the Fittest and Recurring Nightmare. The former is used to put creatures into the graveyard and the latter can then bring them into play. With this combo, Selden is able to use his creatures to react to an opponent's threats. The deck also contains over twenty creatures, many of which have an effect when they enter play or perform some other useful function, such as the Spike Weaver. Unlike many similar decks, Selden's dips into blue, primarily for Lobotomy. He said this was the key to many of his victories.

Flying This creature gets +1/+1 as long as you control another blue creature.

Whenever this creature attacks, target creature an opponent controls gets -1/-1 until end of turn. Encore 3B (3B, Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token copy that attacks that opponent this turn if able. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.)

Whenever this creature deals damage to one or more creatures, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "2, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.") At the beginning of each end step, if you sacrificed three or more Clues this turn, you may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield.

(If a creature has multiple instances of prowess, each triggers separately.) Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, target creature you control can't be blocked this turn.
