Distinction of different Highlander formats

Hi,
as I'm a player of the German Highlander format with some knowledge about the Canadian Highlander format. When I choose "Highlander" as format for a deck, I see lots of cards marked as illegal. This is puzzling me a bit, because it doesn't reflect the German Highlander banned list nor the Canadian Highlander points list.
What is this Highlander format that bans even Wood Elves?
Would it be possible to make a distinction?
Best combo
As the banned lists for EDH and German Highland quite different, I don't think that this is fixing the problem. So just look at the difference...

Chaos Orb, Falling Star, and Shahrazad are banned from Vintage, and as such, banned from EDH as well

Good point! But that doesn't change much regarding the problem...

Try setting your deck to Commander/EDH
