Sorry for the Noob question but what is a highlander deck?

Is it something to do with the movie? Or is it just a random name?

    "There can only be one!" ...copy of each card in your deck. The movie is definitely the reason behind the name :D

    It's also called a Singleton or Reno deck; Singleton is pretty self-explanatory, and Reno refers to Reno Jackson, the first Hearthstone card to employ the Highlander mechanic.

    You should check out this week's Rock Paper Scissors article that talks a bit about the history. "A word about Highlander decks"

    TL;DR of it though is Highlander is indeed a movie reference "there can only be one" which means your deck cannot include more than 1 copy of any card.

    it was pretty cool when I watched the highlander movie and had that realization myself.
