So what exactly is highlander? Or skittles, for that matter? We don't know how to play any of these formats. Occassionally we'll find some funky banned/restriction lists for some of these formats, but we don't know anything else about them. Anybody with a few minutes to post the rules of some of these formats, please do so.

We've been toying around with the idea of just 60 card legacy singleton decks, but other than that we know no other casual formats.

None of us possess any real power, either, and we aren't going to bother with proxies for this.

Again, thanks for the suggestions, but the rules for these formats would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everybody, I'm looking for some links / information on popular casual formats for my playgroup to start trying out. We're all getting sick of multiplayer legacy/extended, and if we have to sit through another 2 hour long emperor game one of us is going to flip. Any suggestions for some other formats we might try playing?

I've seen mention of "Highlander," "250," "Skittles," "Type 4," and "Singleton (pretty self-explanatory?)" but I'm having a hard time finding some comprehensive rules/restrictions for these formats. Perhaps I'm just not searching the forums hard enough, but if anybody has some links to the information we'll need to play these formats it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if anybody has suggestions on different formats we could try playing or any kinds of "house rules" they find to be particularly fun I'd be glad to hear about it. For example, in our group we've all donated some permanents with global effects (i.e. howling mine, furnace of wrath, etc) to a community stack that we sometimes treat as a mini-deck where the top card of the stack is revealed and affects the game as if it were in play for an entire round of turns, before a new global affects replaces it.

Let me know what casual formats you're playing for fun with your group. Thanks.
