Yeah, we had quite a long discussion regarding this game type on the 'old' boards. I'm always down for something new, so I'm willing to give it a go. If everyone's interested in giving it a go, we'll have to pick generals and finalize rules.

Yea, about the Generals: I think perhaps we should not maintain the 'Legendary' rule, but still restrict others from using our General. For example- If P-Chan chose to play with Godsire as his General, then none of the rest of us could use Godsire in our decks. Just a thought.

And I am all for a new format, change it up.

What's your reasoning for wanting to eliminate the Legendary rule? Just curious. That's pretty much a staple of all the Highlander rules I've ever seen, and it's not like there's a shortage of guys to pick from.

Essentially I had thought to make it easier for everyone to play with the current cards they owned, but after looking through some legendary creatures online, most of them are not too costly. I think I have narrowed my own choice down to two creatures-

Szadek, Lord of Secrets (UB)

or

Kresh the Bloodbraided (RGB)

You'll never get the 21 point General damage victory with this guy. :)

Yea, yea. You won one of two games asshat! And Visara is on loan, so you get the win - with an asterisk ;)

Anyway, I have constructed my deck using Kresh the Bloodbraided, so whenever the rest of you turkeys get a deck built, Black & Tan are ready. I think Cherrybomb has decided on Rafiq of the Many, not sure, but what about the rest of you?

I guess I'll have to start work on a Highlander deck then. I was waiting to see if the rest of you clowns were actually going to build something since I spent a decent amount of time working on a deck last time and nothing ever came of it.
