2002 Raphael Levy Biography Card

Set: World Championship Decks

Rarity: Special

(Sixteenth Place) A native of Toulouse, Franch, Raphael Levy posted an impressive 5-1 record during the Standard portion of this year's Worlds playing a blue-green deck he named "Le Wonder Goose." This deck used lots of small creatures — like Nimble Mongoose and Werebear — that get bigger at threshold. The deck used blue not for countermagic, but for cards like Careful Study and Mental Note, which help the deck reach threshold more quickly, and for Wonder in the graveyard, which allows the deck's pumped-up threshold creatures to fly.
