Holy Random Pile of Batman - 60 card themless highlander

Written on friend's request


"The closer to 40 cards, the better". How many times did you hear that when building your Deck? I bet many times. While that is true, it doesn't mean that decks with over 40 cards are bad. The prime example of it is 60 card themless highlander. (60CTH for short) What is it you might ask? The name is self-explanatory. It plays 60 cards, has no theme, and is highlander, means that it plays no more than 1 copy of each card. However, it doesn't mean that it just plays 60 completly random cards with no real strategy, like most decks of new players. To help you grasp the concept, here is the example build:

The pro of 60CTH are the fact that it's pretty much impossible to side against. And to easily handles commonly used stuff like Chain Dissapearance of Effect Veiler. Also, it's a very versalite deck, as you can include pretty much everything in it.


Excluding 60CTH, there are crapload of possible 60 card highlanders variants, but quoting my friend:
I tried 60 card ratbox highlander, 60 card zombie highlander, 60 card high monster beat highlander, 60 card chaos highlander, 60 card high monster beat chaos highlander, 60 card plant highlander, 60 card DARK highlander, 60 card machine highlander, 60 card Gravekeeper highlander, 60 card monarch highlander, 60 card synchro-heavy highlander, 60 card WATER highlander, and a few other builds that never really got through the first few duels. They occasionally showed a fun combo or something, but all performed worse than 60 card themeless highlander.


But in all seriousness, the deck is actually pretty good and playable. Give it a try sometimes.
