Though only fifteen years old, Ben Rubin has amassed quite an impressive tournament record. He placed second at Pro Tour™—Los Angeles and finished in the Top 16 at Grand Prix—San Francisco, his hometown. Ben played the archetypal mono-red weenie or Sligh deck at the 1998 Worlds. Although he prefers to play a more balanced deck, Rubin thought the aggressive Sligh would work well at this tournament. His deck consists of roughly one-third land, one-third direct damage, and one-third small aggressive creatures.

虽然只有十五岁，Ben Rubin却已累积了相当惊人的比赛记录。他在洛杉矶专业赛™中获得第二名，并在旧金山大奖赛中进入前16名，而旧金山正是他的家乡。Ben在1998年世界冠军赛中使用了典型的小红快攻套牌。虽然他更喜欢使用较为平衡的套牌，鲁宾认为这次比赛使用侵略性的小红会很合适。他的套牌由大约三分之一的地，三分之一的直接伤害，以及三分之一的小型侵略性生物组成。
