About
I was introduced to Magic: the Gathering over the winter holiday in 1993, when a friend of mine who was an avid gamer showed me how to play. We used his Alpha, Beta, and Arabian Nights cards. Unsleeved of course - it's not like they were worth anything 😱 I've been playing even since. I've been a software engineer for 30 years, and you can see my LinkedIn profile for more about my background.

It's early days for Vulcan Highlander: the format is very new and not widely play tested yet, and your feedback is very welcome. You can get in touch on Bluesky.
The Vulcan Highlander symbol
It's inspired by an unofficial astrological symbol for Vulcan, which some apply to the asteroid 24522_Zoozve, which has an orbit similar to Venus'. There was once a hypothetical planet Vulcan inside the orbit of Mercury, but it was never found.
Vulcan was a proposed planet that some pre-20th century astronomers thought existed in an orbit between Mercury and the Sun. Speculation about, and even purported observations of, intermercurial bodies or planets date back to the beginning of the 17th century.
