TOP 8 COVERAGE
The age of the khans is fading as though it never happened and dragons are looming on the horizon of Tarkir. In one of the last opportunities to play Fate Reforged/Khans of Tarkir Limited before the dragons take over, Martin Dang from Denmark emerged victorious with a decidedly-non-khan-colored blue-black-red deck, defeating Nikolas Labahn's Abzan deck in the final in two extremely one-sided games. On his route to the final, Dang defeated Daniel Oppliger's blue-red deck in the quarters and Lucas Blohon's white-green deck in the semi-finals. Blohon at least had an additional invite to Pro Tour Dragons of Tarkir as a consolation prize as his quarter-final win bumped him up to Silver level. This was also the ninth Grand Prix Top 8 for Portuguese player Marcio Carvalho.
In total 1,772 players descended on the city of Liverpool to see which of Tarkir's clans would bless them with powerful cards for their sealed decks. Of those, 199 players made it through to Sunday's booster draft. Eight survived to the final draft and when the dust settled only one player was left. Congratulations to Martin Dang, champion of Grand Prix Liverpool.
