So, it's looking a lot better right now, huh? I have limited possibilities to test this format and there is nearly noone playing highlander with mws. I thank you guys for the help, keep it going and feel free to criticise my choises. Especially my manabase skills are poor not to mention I should build one for highlander! :)

Hello!

There's going to be a highlander tournament soon and I got interested about format. I'm newbie when we are talking about highlander but I have some experience as a magic player. So, I started to examine offical rules and some decklists and ended up to post my current decklist here. I'd really appreciate help, I'm sure you know a lot more about highlander than I do. I barely know anything about metagame - which are the strongest decks at the moment. I also don't know too well older sets/cards which, I think, really sucks because I definately don't even know the existance of some "auto-include" cards. For example at the Morningtide pre-release I was looking through some random pile of a dealer and ended up to buy Kirtar's Wrath and Catastrophe - which I hadn't heard about before.

So, here's my current decklist:

Lands:
5 Island
1 Swamp
1 Plains
1 River of Tears
1 Nimbus Maze
1 Mystic Gate
1 Skycloud Expanse
1 Darwater Catacombs
1 Underground River
1 Caves of Koilos
1 Adarkar Wastes
1 Flooded Strand
1 Bloodstained Mire
1 Windswept Heath
1 Polluted Delta
1 Hallowed Fountain
1 Watery Grave
1 Godless Shrine
1 Tundra
1 Underground Sea
1 Scrubland
1 Dimir Aqueduct
1 Azorius Chanery
1 Orzhov Basilica
1 Faerie Conclave
1 Mutavault
1 Mishra's Factory
1 Urza's Factory (is this srtong enough vs. some color-producing land?)
1 Wasteland
1 Karakas
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
1 Maze of Ith
1 Tolaria West
1 Thawing Glaceries
=39 (less, more, toughts?)

Mana accel:
1 Mind Stone
1 Talisman of Progress
1 Talisman of Dominance
1 Dimir Signet
1 Orzhov Signet
1 Azorius Signet
1 Coalition Relic
=7

Creatures:
1 Liliana Vess (good enough?)
1 Keiga, the Tide Star
1 Kokusho, the Evening Star
1 Angel of Despair
1 Morphling
1 Meloku, the Clouded Mirror
1 Aeon Chronicler
1 Solemn Simulacrum
1 Venser, Shaper Savant
1 Shadowmage Infiltrator
1 Shriekmaw
1 Trinket Mage
=11+Liliana (I'm currently concidering about Court Hussar, would it be worth a slot?)

Sorceries:
1 Mind Spring (good enough?)
1 Akroma's Vengeance
1 Kirtar's Wrath
1 Catasrtophe
1 Wrath of God
1 Damnation
1 Compulsive Research
1 Ancestral Visions
1 Chainer's Edict
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vindicate
1 Deep Analysis (I don't like too much about Analysis and Research because of the sorcery speed)
1 Serum Visions (good enough? should I add Ponder insted?)
=13

Instants:
1 Condescend
1 Memory Lapse (I'm not sure about this, can still help vs. some faster aggros?)
1 Remand (same thing as with Lapse but this is, I guess, a bit better)
1 Mana Leak
1 Counterspell
1 Undermine
1 Absorb
1 Dissipate
1 Forbid
1 Cryptic Command
1 Swords to Plowshares
1 Mortify
1 Terror (good enough? maybe Diabolic Edict?
1 Disenchant
1 Repeal
1 Dominate
1 Impulse
1 Gifts Ungiven
1 Brainstorm
1 Fact of Fiction
=20

Enchantments:
1 Control Magic
1 Treachery
1 Legacy's Allure (good enough?)
1 Oblivion Ring
1 Future Sight
1 Faith's Fetters
=6

Artifacts:
1 Nevinyrral's Disk (I'm going to cut this as I have enough Wraths and this hurts Signets etc.)
1 Sensei's Divining Top
1 Scrabbling Claws
1 Vedalken Shackles
=4


I'd definately want some room for Enlightened Tutor and Pact of Negation. Anything else I should add? Which cards to cut for them? Andvice is appreciated as I earlier mentioned! Thanks!
