1996 Decipher World Championship was the first Star Wars CCG World Championship, played in Vail, Colorado. Raphael Asselin (Canada) defeated Bjørn Sørgjerd (Norway) in the final. Joe Alread finished 3rd and Kevin Reitzel 4th.[1][2]
The constructed pool was Premiere - A New Hope. Mains decks dominated: there was still little to counter Sense / Alter, or the raw power of Obi-Wan and Vader. Trandosite notes Joe Alread using seven Dark Maneuvers in his Dark deck.[1]
Format
- Environment: Premiere - A New Hope
- Site: Vail, Colorado
- Field: 32 (Wikipedia Round 1 count)[2]
Finalists
The twelve finalists, alphabetical, from Trandosite (via Alex Tennet): Joe Alread, Raphael Asselin, Sergio Domenech, Paul Todd Feldman, Greg Hefner, Brent Johnson, Maarten Logghe, Wayne Martinez, Kevin Reitzel, Dennis Shea, Bjørn Sørgjerd, Rusty Zion.[1]
Several finalists later became Decipher staff or Squadron Members (Kevin Reitzel, and on Trandosite's list Tom Lischke, Kyle Heuer, Carl Mike Hardy, Paul Todd Feldman).[1]
Results
Asselin's lists are the Scrye-era championship lists as reconstructed on SWCCGDB (2018). Reitzel published his own 1996 pair in 2025–2026 from the decks he kept; a commenter remembered those lists in Scrye. Sørgjerd and Alread Light and Dark lists are the Scrye-era championship lists as transcribed by Vermithrax (2013). Reitzel's Light on that transcription is 55 cards; this wiki uses the 60-card pair Reitzel later published from the decks he kept.
