I know we allready discussed this issue but I am concerned that the conclusion "wishes dont matter in the highlander format since we dont have a sideboard" is not quite satisfying. Whys that? bc of the following:

"In a sanctioned event, a card that's "outside the game" is one that's in your sideboard. In an unsanctioned event, you may choose any card from your collection."10/1/2009 Quoute from the Wizards of the Coast gatherer.

That leads us to the question: what happen if someone will play a wish in a highlander tourney (which is a unsanctioned event)? I cant find anything in the rules section which can give a proper answer to this question.

Well I just found this on Facebook and want to share it with you guys. This site offers techs, reports and videos of every format which is available on MTGO.
Interessting for us is the 100 Card Singleton Archive. There are two guys (the travis-guy is building good decks the other one, is not allways using the best choices and makes some mistakes but still funny to watch his games) which are posting their decks and even show some tournament plays (I wasnt aware that there are continous "Highlander" Tournaments on MTGO.)

Well they have their own bannings (Painters Servant+Grindstone, all the mirage tutors etc. are allowed) but still interesting to see some "live" Highlander action. I allways want to see some Highlander coverage between all this legacy/extended/standard videos popping on GG´s Live, YouTUbe or the official MTG site. So have fun

Does anyone have some MTGO experience? I mean what are they paying for Force of Will´s, Mana Drains, Moats etc, online?


and btw. offtopic, just found this card :http://magiccards.info/query?q=Riding+the+Dilu+Horse&v=card&s=cname

I never saw this card b4. Its just amazing. Its like "this creature get two +1/+1 counter and is unblockable for the rest of the game" I mean for three mana its quite cheap for the effect. just wondering no one was ever posting this on zoo or W/G

I dont know if there is allready a thread for but I saw this nice guy and was just stunned.
