In retrospect, his opponent in the finals piloted a list many of us would likely have preferred: Creatures (12) Lands (20) Spells (29) 4 Fireball 4 Lightning Bolt 1 Icy Manipulator 1 Sylvan Library 1 Control Magic 1 Regrowth 1 Mind Twist 1 Demonic Tutor 1 Time Walk 1 Chaos Orb 1 Ancestral Recall 1 Channel 4 Chain Lightning 2 Psionic Blast 1 Black Lotus 1 Mox Emerald 1 Mox Jet 1 Mox Ruby 1 Mox Sapphire Sideboard Lestrees deck was an early foundational piece of Magic technology, giving birth to the first Zoo deck (so named for the Kird Apes and Savannah Lions that would go on to replace Argothian Pixies)
In Summary This is a long article, and while there is a lot of detail here, I also want to make sure it has clear takeaways for those who aren't diving in as deep, so here's a summary: Early information and data on Commander Brackets is very encouraging
The details of the ending aren't worth sharing, but it was a major letdown for nearly everyone in the game
Other staples come from Alchemy sets, but each set usually has one or two Historic-playable cards
A Chaos Rising ETB, for example, currently has a market price of $79.99
Because of this, the chase card of the set routinely costs over $600 on the secondary market
