How do you rate the banned-list on a scale from 1 to 10 (1=poor, 10=great)?
8
How do you rate the highlander mulligan on a scale from 1 to 10?
10 (100 cards, so the probability for extremely messed up hands is in practice greater than when playing with 60 card decks)
How often do you play Highlander (mp.org-rules) in average
Once per week
How often have you played on a HL-GP?
Never
Which cards are missing on the banned-list and why? (max. the 5 most important ones)
To name a few:
Gifts Ungiven: To my experience a player who plays Gifts wins the game almost certainly. Power level is just ridiculous.
Mana Drain: What the hell... Do I really need to explain? Also see the next category.
Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale/Library of Alexandria/Moat/Imperial Seal/Ravages of War/Imperial Recruiter etc etc.
While these cards may not necessarily be too powerful (many of them do seem quite broken to me), the thing is that I don't see why they shouldn't be banned just because of their current prices. It would be a shame if highlander, too, became a contest between purses. On the other hand playing constructed MTG is expensive and people just have to face it, and of course anyone can make "it's a slippery slope" -type of arguments if we start banning cards for being too expensive, but I think the tip of the iceberg could easily be cut off, especially since many of the pricey cards are quite broken anyway. This would also compliment the current policies well (WC-cards are allowed etc.). I am not aware is this currently a "problem" at all, since I've got no idea how many highlander-people actually own these cards. This isn't the most acute issue, but something I think people should give some consideration in near future.
Which cards should be deleted from the banned-list and why? (max. the 5 most important ones)
My experience in highlander is so limited, that I cannot answer this question properly.
