About:

"Dom's the name, Singleton's my game. When it comes to Magic, I love 100-card singleton formats, having been a passionate Commander player for quite some time. When I arrived in Berlin in late 2017, I quickly found myself active in the European Highlander scene. In my opinion, Highlander is the most fun you can have with Magic and I have made it my mission to convince as many people as I can.

"What's Highlander, you may ask? Just shuffle your Commander into your decks and then play some 1-vs-1 and you will slowly start to rethink deck building and gameplay. If you want to know more about this skill intensive, historic, creative, and passionately played format, stay tuned and follow my articles on Cardmarket. You may catch my occasional Commander content as well. Plus, if you're like me and into fresh new formats, stay evenly tuned for some wild Pioneer brews and deck techs!

"I'm also very much into game logic and the social aspect of Magic. Expect some texts that, like, really make you think. Or something.

"You can find me play Highlander almost every Friday night at Der Andere Spieleladen (ASL) in Berlin (8 pm). If you want to play HL, come by and say hello!"

It's time to take a look at what dwells deep in the underworld and high up in the heavens of Theros Beyond Death. Singleton formats in particular stand to gain a lot of exciting toys. That's not just true for Commander, but also for the competitive world of one-on-one European Highlander!

Why You Too Should Play European Highlander

Before Commander caught on, players had already been enjoying a singleton format for years. It was named Highlander — originally for the catchphrase of the 1986 cult classic which stipulates that "There can be only one," but the format also seems to want to live forever.
