Dana Fischer was born in July 2010, and lives with her mother, father, and older sister in Carmel Valley, San Diego.

[1] Fischer's next goal was to become the youngest player to make the second day of a Grand Prix tournament, which would have required six match wins.

[4][6][7][8] She got a sponsorship from ChannelFireball, a popular Magic retailer, and tournament organizer, and a documentary video made about her by 60 Second Docs.

[11] Originally competing in another country would have been a celebration for making day 2 at a United States Grand Prix, but it became a family trip instead.

[11] In March 2019, aged eight, Fischer achieved her goal of becoming the youngest player to reach Day 2 at a Grand Prix, in Los Angeles.

[17] Her continuing goal is to get more kids and women to play Magic, to show that, as she says, "young people can do amazing and hard things".

[4] Since the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con,[1] she has attended matches in cosplay as the Elf planeswalker Nissa Revane – though she replaced the original costume's black wig and pointed ears with a ChannelFireball baseball cap that she places pins on and wears backwards or sideways.
