Svend Geertsen Bio (WCD-SG0A) - World Championship Decks 1997

Geertsen, a sixteen-year-old high-school student from Copenhagen, Denmark, played a mono-green deck known affectionately as "Señor Stompie." Of the eight finalists, Geertsen had the best record in the Standard (Type II) portion of the tournament, going 6—0—1. This deck is overloaded with fast green creatures, thirty-three in all. The only noncreature cards are Giant Growth, Bounty of the Hunt, and Winter Orb. The deck also exploits the interaction between Rogue Elephant, Harvest Worm, and Heart of Yavimaya.
