Title: Highlander- 60 card format
Post by: PrinceCharming on August 12, 2012, 10:50:07 PM
Hey,

I know it's an Australian format, but I was wondering if there is anyone on here that plays sixty card Highlander?

I'd be happy to explain the format also, if some of you are unaware.

Cheers.

I would like to know what that is.

The format is similar to commander deck construction.
You're only allowed one of every card except basic land. Your deck minimum is sixty cards. There is no 'banned' list, but rather you get seven points to spend on pointed cards.

Cards are pointed based on how good (or broken) they are. For instance, {{sensei's diving top}} is worth one point, whereas {{necropotence}} and {{black lotus}} are worth three.

Singleton: 60 card deck
Highlander: 100 card deck

Not sure but it does sound like a smaller and "normal magic" version of Commander/EDH (99 plus commander), just ran a google search.

It is essentially very similar to EDH in terms of deck building.

If you google 'highlander deck lists' and stick to the Australian websites, you can see some pretty fun stuff.

The zoo build is pretty popular. It is a fun format. It's more competitive and a little more strategic than commander, in my opinion.
