Brian Selden, born in 1980 in San Diego, California, was the winner of the 1998 Magic: The Gathering World Championship. His strategy in the tournament was to use two cards, called "Survival of the Fittest" and "Recurring Nightmare" repeatedly. The former card puts creatures into the graveyard, while the latter allows the user to return those and other cards (including the "Recurring Nightmare" card itself) to his or her hand without using any mana.
