Tiago Chan

Tiago Chan is a Portuguese former professional player. He experienced the most success during the 2005 and 2006 seasons. He finished 9th at Pro Tour Nagoya 2005 before breaking through into the top eight at PT Honolulu 2006, piloting an Owling Mine deck to 3rd-place overall. He finished 15th at PT Kobe 2006, and came close to being the 2006 Player of the Year when he made the top eight of the 2006 World Championships, but he lost in the quarterfinals in a very unfavorable matchup against Gabriel Nassif. The 2007 season was overall a disappointment for Chan, and his presence on the professional scene dwindled. However, he did win the 2007 Magic Invitational, famously resulting in the creation of a card of his design and his likeness, Snapcaster Mage, released in 2011.
