Format announcement: Brothers' Highlander Spring 2019 B&R&C update

Brothers' Highlander, our team 100-card singleton format, goes from strength to strength and is growing fast.  A few recent highlights from gatherings:

Chris C's back-to-basics carry case

The Hive's Andrew T gets in on the action with his awesome Hell-themed deck (opposite my Primal Clay beatdown machine)

A personal highlight - it took me some years to achieve, but yes, I activated a Legends "bandy land" to put two Legends into a band - making the crucial contribution to beating down a Wall of Ice!

With spring upon us, we have refreshed the rules - see below!

Rules: Swedish Old School rules (i.e. modern but with errata for Chaos Orb)

Printing legality: Standard UK reprint policy, i.e. any non-proxy non-foil card with original art in the original frame is legal. No CE or IE. Revised Serendib Efreet and Plateau are also legal.

Mulligans: Paris Mulligan is not played. Instead, after drawing their initial 7 cards, either player may declare a Gentleman’s Mulligan and show their hand to their opponent. In the event that it contains 0 or 1 mana source, or 6-7 mana sources (i.e. a mana screw or a mana flood), that player can shuffle their deck and draw a fresh 7. There is no limit to the number of Gentleman’s Mulligans that can be declared. (A mana source is any zero-converted-mana-cost card which produces mana - i.e. a land or a Mox, or similar).
