Dang Does It

Denmark’s Martin Dang swiftly claims the Pro Tour Dragons of Tarkir championship title with his Red Aggro deck.

PRO TOUR DRAGONS OF TARKIR

SUNDAY COVERAGE

Denmark's Magic scene has been red hot the last few months, and Martin Dang is the latest in Danish Magic success. His Red Aggro deck, with a very light splash for four copies of Atarka's Command, allowed the Dane to blast through the field of 408 Pro Tour competitors and on to the Sunday stage. When he got there, Dang made swift work of his opponents thanks to his cheap, efficient creatures and slew of burn spells. With this Pro Tour victory following up his recent win at Grand Prix Liverpool, Dang now looks toward the Magic Online Championship in May, where he'll be competing for his third title in three months.

Pro Tour Dragons of Tarkir proved to be a melting pot of dragons, with 114 of the winged behemoths making an appearance in the feature match area. Special tributes were paid to Dragonlord Silumgar and the terrifying Dragonlord Atarka. In the end, it was Atarka's roaring command that ensured a fiery end to the whole thing, and Dang was happy to lead the charge.
