Hamilton Highlander

In an age of extraordinary greed, the evil of the realm can be held at bay by one mystical technique: paying $10 for stuff. This extends into the world of Magic the Gathering, and so enters Hamilton Highlander.

In the Hamilton Highlander format, you build a full commander deck, and the budget for the entire deck must be equal to or under $10. As an act of grace to make this budget less restrictive, the Hamilton Committee has declared that basic lands do not count toward the budget. This website contains the tools for pricing and sharing deck lists.

What does this format mean for the game? It means that you get led into some strange corridors of deck building, often left unexplored outside the format. A lot of old cards that have gotten power crept into obscurity are at a very attractive price point. And what happens if some shoreline sorcerer decides to print a legendary Thomas the Tank Engine that dominates the meta? Well, it’ll hike in price and stay out of Hamilton’s domain.

So now I welcome you to join us in our budgeting and engage in the best format that this or any card game has ever seen.
