Notes
 
Won 1996 US Championship

Source: Inquest #17 (Sept 1996), p.74; author: Jeff Hannes

"It's not your standard Necro deck, though the theory isn't all that different.  Destroy your opponent's resources with Icequakes, Strip Mines, Hymn to Tourachs and Hypnotic Specters, then rely on the various Knights and Orders to bring your opponent down.  The Lightning Bolts are actually the most defensive cards in the deck."

Dennis Bentley: "I won because my deck did one thing - it killed the other person.  I had nothing special in the deck at all.  There were no funky two- or three-card combinations, except Necropotence and the Ivory Tower, and I only got that out two or three times through the whole tournament."
