Elder Dragon Highlander
« on: October 13, 2009, 11:55:54 PM »
This format has recently been getting pretty popular in New England. My wife Stephanie and I were in the store the other day playing a few games and a couple people expressed interest in playing.


Here's the official website for the format: http://www.dragonhighlander.net/rules.php


The format is really fun and is a great common ground for casual and serious players as the format encourages splashy spells and has interesting deck constraints. I've never had as much fun playing Magic. Add in Planechase and things get even better. Even scouring for cards on Gatherer was a blast.

So, the website has everything one would need to get started in the format. However, designing for a highlander format is a little difficult coming from how Magic is typically played. If anyone has any questions, I'd be more than happy to help them however I could. Additionally, MTGSalvation and The Mana Drain both have decent EDH forums. The Mana Drain forums are frequented by folks who play Vintage regularly and their experiences in that format color how they approach this format. They are much more interested in turning a deck into a well oiled machine (competitive or not) while MTGSalvation takes a much more casual approach. I prefer TMD, though it has less traffic.

This thread is also a great place to organize some games! So, if you have an EDH deck, post your name and what you have so we can all find some new opponents.

13 Card Slots left for the Harvest Time! (Reaper King Deck)   

I either put way too much in or cut way too much I really must find a happy medium between the two

Im thinking of going Slivers using Sliver Overlord as my general but i dont have one of each fetch and one of each old school duel land. But from what I understand I dont necessarily need them.

Just throwing the idea out there....  How do you guys feel about having EDH "events" on Sundays?
