Steven O'Mahoney-Schwartz is an American Magic: The Gathering player. At the height of his career in the late 1990s, he was considered one of the best players. He is well known as a friend and teammate to Jon Finkel.
O'Mahoney-Schwartz first qualified for the Pro Tour in its inaugural season, at Pro Tour Columbus. An unimpressive finish left him outside the top sixty-four needed to win money, and unqualified for the World Championship.
The following season saw O'Mahoney-Schwartz make it back to the Pro Tour with a higher degree of success and consistency. He played five of seven events winning money at two of them.
The following year was O'Mahoney-Schwartz's break-out season. He reached the quarter finals of Grand Prix Toronto, the first event of the season. After a weak finish at Pro Tour Chicago, he made top eight of the second Pro Tour of the year in Mainz. In the elimination bracket, he made it all the way to the finals before losing to Matt Place. A string of Grand Prix top eights including wins in Madrid and Zurich put him in third place in the Player of the Year Race, at the end of the season.
At Pro Tour Los Angeles the following year, he reached the top eight for a second time. He won the event, defeating Mike Long, Terry Lau, and Jon Finkel in the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals respectively. His other top finishes that season were at Grand Prix Boston and Oslo.
