I noticed that Wizards started to offer Dual Commander on their GPs as a sideevent :o
I also met some old highlander players in Utrecht which asked me if I would like to play a game of Dual Commander...
Will Duel Commander surpass Highlander in Germany in the next years?

NO!

But seriously, asking if something x wil ill thing y is wrong approach. As side
events are more or less at tournament organizer's discretion, I would ask from
them why they decided on dual commander, but not French EDH, Canadian highlander or
this highlander.
One can reach them here: info@tournamentcenter.eu
And from what I know tournament organizers: they want that things run as
smoothly as possible. Against this is our proxy system (IE/CE/gold cards)
which make sanctioning and policing a tournament more complicated.
Just to say that Duel Commander and French EDH are two different names for the same format :)
I look at the Duel commander a bit differently - to me it is a way to bring Commander players (usually very casual players) to play 1on1 and therefore to bring them maybe even to Highlander and vice versa - to bring Highlander players to play more Commander.
Two very different communities, with very different player opinions on games and cards, but same target - to seek more fun in this game.
More formats means more fun to me and I think those 2 formats are as close as possible to each other while both being somewhat special.
I even started mixing those 2 formats in Bratislava community right now - one week HL tournament and Duel Commander the other.
I will update you, if it works and if it makes people play both and therefore bring more players to both formats - mainly HL of course :)
Duel Commander down to 20 life. Playable 4C and partner commanders printed. Time to dig up this post.

Is it time for a convertion to create a much bigger community?
