GT's attempt at a deck contest (Registration desk)

[Gate Troll]

This is a challenge to build a Highlander deck. I'll explain the details later once I've gotten at least 5 people signed up but I will say this, it can be FotR block, TTT Block, RotK block, WotR block  or Hunters. Anybody up for the challenge?


Sign up deadline:

Highlander? Sweet! I'll join.

I don't think Highlander works in block, though. 1 copy per deck with that small a card pool?

Then, for that matter, why cut out hunters block, the one format it might work in?

[Thranduil]

This is cool, I'll join. But I think NB's right that when you can only have 1 copy of each card you need more cards available than just in a block format. In MTG Elder Dragon Highlander for example you can use cards usually banned or no longer available in standard format.

Heh. Well...then again, MtG has a heckofalot more sets, so they put a 100 card deck minimum rule to preserve the flavor of highlander.

Perhaps a 40 card highlander might work for block.

Okay then, Hunters block added. It has to be somewhat of a challenge though.

 I'll join.

Yeah, but it needs to be attainable.

We'll take a whack at it...I guess.

[Gate Troll]

Okay, lets get this going. I'm posting the contest thread now.

Sorry, stuff's so busy, and I don't really have the time, I'll have to drop out. And...I still don't see how highlander would ever be played in block. Its really low-power and tough in open, block...uh...yeah.
