Statement regarding the Companion mechanic:
Companion is the most talked about ability from Ikoria and is creating a lot of buzz among players.
When the mechanic was first introduced, WotC announced that Commander, the biggest 100 card singleton format, would allow Companions even though Commander does not have a sideboard. Additionally, the card Lutri, the Spellchaser was preemptively banned because the singleton nature of Commander means, that every deck is meeting it’s Companion criteria right away.
While we already leaned towards not following this example but rather stick to the official rules, which require the use of a sideboard for Companion to work, we wanted to see how the mechanic was dealt with in all kinds of different settings before drawing a final conclusion.
Unfortunately, the ability is already warping every competitive constructed format around itself, leading to repetitive gameplay and frustrated players calling for changes. A free 8th. card you have every single game apparently is way too powerful, even with some built-in restrictions.
We will thus follow our initial approach:
Highlander does not have a sideboard, which Companion requires. We are not going to make an exception to this rule, which means the Companion mechanic does not function in Highlander.
You are still allowed to play these cards in your regular deck, but not as a Companion that starts outside the game.
Also in der Tat, im Highlander ist Companion als Mechanik nicht erlaubt. In Elder Dragon Highlander (also Commander) dagegen schon, da ist Lutri allerdings schon gebannt. Zum vollständigen Beitrag
