Much like the MWS question, Anyone interested in playing in the underpowered online variant, German Highlander on MTGO?

Look for Zimagic in the Casual or Anything Goes room or get on to me here.

Looking forward to some underpowered games!

I'd like to encourage a debate on bannings in the Highlander format  and the differences between the current list and the list which is generally being taken for reference, the Legacy list. Most people's criticisms are raised with a knowledge of the format and an understanding of the powerlevel of the cards being discussed.

Asi in particular on The Mana Drain has raised questions about some of the current HL bannings and lack of other bannings.

For reference here are the differences between the two lists:
Banned in HL (Legal in Legacy)
Crop Rotation
Dust Bowl
Lion's Eye Diamond
Mystical Tutor
Power Artifact
Protean Hulk
Trinisphere
Umezawa's Jitte

Banned in Legacy (Legal in HL)
Bazaar of Baghdad
Black Vise
Channel
Demonic Consultation
Demonic Tutor
Dream Halls
Earthcraft
Entomb
Frantic Search
Goblin Recruiter
Grim Monolith
Gush
Hermit Druid
Illusionary Mask
Land Tax
Mana Drain
Metalworker
Mind's Desire
Mishra's Workshop
Necropotence
Oath of Druids
Replenish
Time Spiral
Windfall
Yawgmoth's Bargain

How much are each of these cards overpowered in a HL format in themselves and not in multiple copies as in Legacy? Goblin Recruiter is obviously not as strong as a singleton as it is in multiple copies, providing a constant and depandable form of CA advantage and board pressure, if it hit, for a deck that ran no other form of refilling it's hand and a high count of cards to hit with it's ability.

More worrying would be cards like Bazaar of Baghdad, Demonic Tutor, Entomb, Mishra's Workshop, Necropotence, Oath of Druids, Yawgmoth's Bargain that have consistantly proven themselves to be either cogs or locii for degenerate combos and have a well-above-average power-level.

From the other side, there is some mystification as to the presence of certain cards on the HL list: Crop Rotation (now that academy is gone), Dust Bowl, Mystical Tutor (given the lack of any other tutor bannings), Power Artifact, Protean Hulk (an interesting debate about this: degenerate tutor or crap rare?) & possibly Umezawa's Jitte.

Looking forward to the discussion!
