"professional magic player aeo paquette played the deck that defined the metagame at the 2004 world championships: 'affinity.' against a field full of decks designed to beat affinity, this nineteen-year-old canadian piloted his deck to a 5-1 record during the standard portion of the tournament. paquette credits his friend jeff cunningham for helping him design an affinity deck that could compete so well against the field."
note: the cards in this deck are gold-bordered with an alternate card backing and are printed with the player's signature. they are not tournament legal.
