Eighteen-year-old Alex Borteh came on strong in the last half of the 2000—2001 Pro Tour™ season. He posted an impressive Top 8 finish at U.S. Nationals and followed that up by coming within one match of winning this year’s Worlds. The soon-to-be Ohio State University freshman played a monoblue combo deck that he liked to call “Da Folk.” This deck wins by using Opposition and Static Orb to establish a lock down while legions of Merfolk overrun opponents’ immobilized defenses.
