    Aside from there not really being much point, as you noted in your post, there's also the issue that the LoR card pool is really quite small as it is. If you try to go full Highlander with it, you're going to be forcing yourself to take some pretty badly suboptimal cards for no real reason. You'll also have a pretty unfocussed deck that doesn't really have any kind of clear game plan.

    I don't think it's viable to do so at this stage, but possibly in the future. Then again, there's enough cards, so if you really want to then go for it.

    Highlander on HS are a thing because they let you use some very powerfull cards, but without any upside why would you cripple the consistency of your deck?

    There is ONE card that benefits from a highlander build and it's Purrsuit of Perfection.

    (you can run 3 copies of that..) but why would you ruin your deck for it.. you could also play heimer/karma and be able to fulfill the requirement eventually.

    Add in a few cards like Back Alley Barkeep + recall effect and you're not even delayed all that much really - the problem is just the utter lack of consistency :P

    I actually pulled it off twice in an Expedition.

    Heimer and Flash of Brilliance is practically all you need anyways. Don't forget that Heimer technically generates 9 diffferent cards, which is basically half the requirement already, as long as you have enough spells of different mana costs

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Yeah, I've made a few decks that ran Catastrophe, but honestly when you get right down to it most of the time they were just Heimer decks with an emergency fall-back plan. Never needed Karma, just Heimer plus the standard Expedition deck breadth was plenty.
