Just make it so it check at the start of the game.
It’s a good Idea.
Check Start of Game AND current Deck 
So you can still counter it, and not abuse it fort Decks with double Cards at Start.
I like the way you think 
I disagree though.
If highlander cards are too powerful, they can be adjusted. Mana increased of effect change to lessen their power.
If the check at the time of play is replaced by a start of the game check leads to highlander decks breaking the game, then ok, nerf would be needed.
But as it stand, having an entire deck archetype, archetype that add variety in deck construction, an archetype that give chance for some cards to see play that wouldn’t otherwise because underpowerd, an archetype accessible across all 11 class, to have this archetype completely nullify by a single deck is ridiculous.
And that’s only plague DK. Only plague DK have an automatic win vs highlander decks while struggling against other deck. This is very reminiscent of rock paper scissor. Wouldn’t it be better to have a more balance meta, that games are not decided by simply queuing into the wrong or the right class?

You really can’t.
The state of the actual reno hero card has something to do with it’s high cost.
When a card has a high cost you can have a decent amount of your deck go even before you play it.
And reduce the cost will only get things worse while make it higher makes the card just not worth the restriction.
Basically there is a limit of how much high cost you can design Highlander payoffs and reno hero is on the very thin line if not already past it.
If this card see any changes it will be to end it’s viability for good.

good riddance i say, reno has been terrible for this game, along with Brann. along with wheel of death, along with boomboss, along with otk shaman, along with zarimi. all have been terrible for this game.
no thx we didnt need this when original reno was released and we dont need it now
unless it upgrades your hero power at the start of the game
all cards checking your deckbuild at the beginning of the game give you an upgrade

if reno checks at the beginning it would need and “start of the game” effect too!

Just nerf thevreno hero card problem fixed.
What if the issue is not Reno itself but warrior’s ability to rotate through the deck that fast it could safely run Reno even with duplicates?
At times it feels like warrior does it better then gaslight rogue and that could be the root cause of the problem.
Redundancy in thread detected. Offering own wisdom: I agree Highlander is a stupid name, why can’t we call it something like Singleton instead?
No clue what game you playing but have not lost to a plague dk with my highlander deck in over 21 games against them.

not every highlander deck are equal, some rely heavily on highlander cards, and for others, highlander is just a nice bonus.
Either way, outside warrior, most class fails at highlander strategy. I can’t remember the last time i faced a highlander priest or paladin.
Warrior doesn’t even need Reno to be able to win you know.
it is just a good addition to deck. Reno warrior have a lot win condition no matter what you do it gets a way to defeat you.
Name is inherited from MTG and existed like 20 years before hearthstone had even begun developement. There are other names too straight from MTG, like “mill” for example. Many players picking up HS having played the other game carried names with them. And it syuck around.
