Big Apple Highlander
Big Apple Highlander is a two-player singleton format using cards available in the Premodern sets (cards from 1995-2003).
Deck Construction Rules
A deck must contain at least 60 cards in the main and up to 15 cards in the sideboard.
With the exception of basic lands, no two cards in the deck may have the same English name.
Banned cards include: Amulet of Quoz, Bronze Tablet, Jeweled Bird, Rebirth, Tempest Efreet, and Timmerian Fiends. Other cards that are banned in Premodern, such as Yawgmoth’s Will or Brainstorm, are legal in Big Apple Highlander.
Play Rules
Similar to a typical Premodern match, players start at 20 life and the winner is determined in a best-of-three with sideboards accessible after the first game.
