Michael Billinghurst

Michael has been around the Melbourne competive magic scene since 2012, and the highlander scene for almost as long. He's a huge fan of counterspells, drawing cards and is known for playing Esper control decks wherever he can, (and sometimes where he can't). His highlander accolades include a Moxing day victory in 2018, and back-to-back Online leagues in early 2021. You can find him having strong opinions on niche sideboard cards on the highlander discord, or in a BEMB tshirt at every highlander event he can get to.

Points Announcement: Dominaria United

Since the last points announcement we’ve had the largest paper highlander event ever, with 2022 Highlander Masters, and a return to consistent paper play amongst most of the highlander scene, resulting in a significant uptick in event results and data. Overall we still believe 7 point Highlander is in an excellent spot, with a broad variety of archetypes and play styles seeing some success. However with some new members on the committee, we’ve taken a look at some of the historical points, with an eye to free up some cards that aren’t seeing play, and revitalise some struggling archetypes.
