I just heard from Ken Whitman (he does the printing for Highlander 2ed) over on rpg.net that 2ed is doing so well that he could not take on any other CCGs @ this point.
Kens company maybe small, but it is good news that the game is selling enough that he pretty much has to turn down any other CCG printing jobs.

Besides over here on the main page, where can people even order the 2ed cards? Are any distributors even carrying these cards yet? If so, who?

It is meant to be a true "beta" set to test out the rules and such. You could ask your local gaming store to order some directly from the publisher, but it would likely raise the price. Then in march Set 1, which for the most part will be the same as beta, will be released through distribution.

Oh yeah, especially since the name of the set seems to indicate that he's overcome the Sean Connery issue and we'll be seeing Ramirez's face on cards. Although, even if he hasn't, if he wants to print a whole persona just showing the character's back it's fine by me.
I just want my Ramirez!

The old editions had two, but they just increased Richie's and Methos's power level, since they were the only ones that could use them easily. Paraphrased they were:
Master's Advantage: your opponent's persona card is considered blank. This was deemed too powerful for Richie and Methos and then errattaed to be signature.
Experience Counts: your opponent can't attack where you last blocked.

Last time I checked, Master’s Advantage is a signature card and shouldn’t have been increasing any ones power except the un-printed Remirez. I’ve seen tons of people try to sneak this into their Richie and Methos decks. But going by the directly by word of the 1st Ed rules, No one but Remirez can include Master’s Advantage in their deck. It’s my understanding that if production had been continued, it would have become usable when Remirez was printed in the next set…
Signature Cards - Signature cards are similar to Reserved cards in that only the Immortal named on the card (Immortal Specific name) may include that card in their deck. However, Signature cards can not be used or included by any Persona other than the one named on the card BY ANY MEANS. The Restriction number on a Signature, if present, cannot be altered by other cards or effects. Signature cards have a sword symbol wrapped with an "S" in the upper right hand corner of the card. Example1: Richie Ryan may not include Hogg: Kern. Example2: Hugh Fitzcairn may not use Darius: Pre-Game to include a third Fast Talk. (From the 1st Ed Players Hadbook.)

Read my post closer. I already said it was errattaed to be signature. The actual printed card does not (to my sometimes limited recollection) have the little S on it.

You are correct sir! I did miss the part about it being errattaed at the end of the description. Honestly, I can’t remember if the little S was there or not. After so many arguments over its usage, I may have just added it in mentally. I’ll have to pull out my persona box later and check.
