Okay guys, you can get your creative juices round this one...
At UK Gencon there will be a 15-card Highlander tournament with a prize of a Black Lotus. I`d like to own a Black lotus...just long enough to turn it into an equivalent number of £££ that is.
FORMAT.......Standard Format. Legal sets are 6thED, Urza Block & Masques Block. Decks must consist of exactly 15 cards, with a sideboard of 3 cards. No more than one copy of a card may be included in the deck except for basic land. For those unfamiliar with the format, players play magic as normal, but u do not lose the game by being decked. when your deck runs out, u just carry on playing until one of the players reaches 0 life total.
Rounds will be best of 3 & timed at 30 minutes per round +5 extra turns. depending on numbers, the event will likely be 6 rounds of swiss, with a top eight KO played best out 5 games) to decide the standings.
BANNED LIST..Thran Foundry (destiny)
Serra Avatar (saga)
(And Crumbling Sanctuary will soon be added I think)
So what do you think, anything come to mind?
From a straight theory point of view the key will be card advantage, and these are some of the ways of gaining it in this format:
Hammer Of Bogardan
Nether Spirit
Squee + Spellshaper
Diabolic Servitude
187 effects
Repopulate
Lin Sivvi/Informer graveyard recursion
The most viable combo deck would probably be Sneak Attack (esp if I`m wrong and you CAN use Palinchron with Sneak)
My first deck tried to use Pirates - it`s terrible...
Birds Of Paradise
Llanowar Elf
Rishadan Cutpurse
Rishadan Footpad
Rishadan Brigand
Ghitu Slinger
Avalanche Riders
Phyrexian Ghoul
-
Stone Rain
Repopulate
-
Rishadan Port
City Of Brass
Karplusan Forest
Forest
Island
I`ve no idea about this format at all, so it`s open to the floor.
