Black Lotus

Fun fact:

Dan is the youngest Pro-Tour winner ever, having won at age 15. He has since won three more times, and has an additional three top 8s.

Background:

Dan Ladd has always been a championship Magic player. Ever since his first pack of cards, the game has spoken to him in ways he couldn't fully understand. After his first Pro-Tour win, Dan became a Magic sensation. He continued to play and he continued to dominate the tournaments he went to. After so many years of winning, Magic was beginning to become stale. Somewhere along the way, he had lost that special bond. It was time to retire.

On the day Dan was set to make his retirement announcement, a package arrived at his door. The package had come from Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic. Opening it up, Dan found a deck of cards and a note that read, "The fun has just begun."

Dan started to examine the cards, wondering what was so special about them. As he was examining a fireball card, flames burst forth from the card and set his couch on fire. After additional property damage, Dan realized that these weren't just Magic cards. These were magical Magic cards, designed to actually cast spells. With his love for Magic returned, it was time to once again prove he was the greatest champion.

Developer's Notes:

Dan's ability to use brainstorm gives him a wide range of options for each battle. Knowing when to use brainstorm is key to being able to play Dan effectively, as no one set of specials covers every possible set of situations.
