My esteemed readership, In case you have not heard the news: Highlander is happening more regularly now on Cockatrice. Aesthetics and convenience in operation aside, the software is really helpful in cramming a lot of games into a small timeframe. We also found a tournament mode which allows to have almost no downtime between matches, as we simply rotate between tables once a match has […]
I believe we are entering a new age of HL magic deck building. Sounds too big? Maybe. But there is a lot to think about when looking at the latest card printings. Let’s call it the Question. The topic of redundancy in HL is a big one. Especially Paul Witz has lately advanced this topic with his ultra low curve radical tempo thoughts. It has […]
So … I can already tell you that this tournament report of Continental Cup 2019 is going to be a little irregular. But just in case you are worried where this is going: I loved the tournament, met many great people, am happy about everything I experienced and it has made me think a lot. I might have even picked up some life lessons, even […]
As I’ve stated many times before, I believe Highlander is the best Magic the Gathering format out there. The sheer amount of possibilities in deck building and game situations and the fact that it is very competitive at the same time still amaze me after years of playing. I will never stop.

It’s still the biggest European tournament of our […]
First of all: I will go as hype as never before in this article and whenever you think it goes too far – it doesn’t. 2016 was the year of surprises. Most were unfortunate. BUT YOU LIKELY MISSED THE BIGGEST ONE. A positive one at that! The unlikeliest surprise of all (and by that I do mean unlikelier than Trump and all that other stuff): […]
Months have passed since my first piece on building 5C. Months that felt like years. That’s the way it should be I guess. Life happens. But the 5C quest still exists. And you know what: I haven’t changed my current 5C list for about two months. It’s REALLY good. But to get there wasn’t easy and I still don’t play it well enough. No practice, […]
Look. I’m a Gruul. By heart. Always have been. I need to be first on board. I need to attack. I need to strike fear in my opponents eyes. Waiting isn’t my thing. I was anti blue. Impatient „“ kinda guy. I like trampling all over silly chump blockers. I was a Naya warrior for a long time. Had some tournament success. I kept inventing. […]
