This deck seems cool! I've never been to Worlds and can't go this year, so this is a nice bonus!
 
This is what Worlds promos should be. Locking playable cards like Beach (and, to a lesser extent though it does see fringe play, Champions Festival) behind Worlds invites or shocking secondary market prices has never been something that anyone has enjoyed. A nice fancy alt art of an already-accessible card, which also makes it something of a trophy to keep or grade - as opposed to ruining its condition because you need to play it!
