I have play tested this format over 100 times and enjoy the format IMMENSELY. It plays more like chess and relies on synergy more than combo. Please give it a try. The games are usually quite fast compared to normal commander and the replay-ability is much higher in my opinion. I had to nerf blue because it was the most powerful color. Give it a try and let me know what you think, won't you?
I like to play 1v1 best of 3.
CONSTRUCTION:
Highlander: 100 unique cards(other than basic land) in 2 piles.
Land Pile: 40 Land cards.
Library: 60 non-land cards.
- No searching your deck or your opponent's deck.
- Searching your Land Pile for a LANDTYPE or BASIC LAND is allowed. (ex. search for a forest card to get a Bayou). Other Nonbasic Land search is NOT allowed.
- No extra turns! (can still make opponent skip turn/lose turn/give up control of turn)
- Spells/abilities cannot be COUNTERED!
-Your library can consist of any cards in MTG. Your permanents may only produce the color mana of the mana symbol(s) that are ANYWHERE on your commander card.
- The 4color Nephilim are allowed as Commanders and are legendary. Still 21 cmdr dmg.
- 10 card sideboard - the intention of the format is best of 3 games.
-MANA BURN HAS BEEN REINSTATED.
-Effects that define a life total as a trigger are doubled. Felidar/Sorin/MagisterSphinx/Serra's Ascendant/etc! The infect total is doubled as well.
Whenever you 'pay' life, PAY DOUBLE.
Ban list:
1. Anything else that reads “reveal X cards off the top of your deck until you reveal a land”.
2. THE ENTIRE MTG COMMANDER LIST IS UNBANNED!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GAMEPLAY:
- You choose how many land and non-land you draw in your opening hand. Anytime you draw, you decide which pile(s) to draw from. (ex. Cast brainstorm and you could draw 1 land and 2 nonland or any combination you choose.)
- The Land Pile can't be targeted and can only be chosen by DRAW effects. (all REVEAL cards must target a deck.)
- Land can NEVER be put into the library. Plow under, scroll rack, brainstorm, jace, etc.. can NOT be used to put land on top of the library, land goes on the land pile instead.
- You never permanently lose your commander! If it is being put into your library(condemn, etc), you have the option of putting it into the command zone at a cost of an EXTRA counter on your commander.
