Two Headed Giant Detailed Rules:
The team does not share any other resources other than 30 life. For instance, any reference to "you" on a card still applies to the individual holder.
Effects that read "each opponent" or "each player", however, affect each team member separately. Players can block any creature(s) that are attacking them, their teammates or Planeswalkers their team controls.
- The team that goes first skips their first draw step.
- Limited: Players share a card pool. Players pool the cards they open and build x2 40 card decks together.
- Each team starts with 30 life.
- Neither player on the team going first draws a card on the first turn.
- Each player receives one free mulligan. You don’t put any cards back on the first mulligan, and you put only 1 card back on the second mulligan, etc.
- Mulligan decisions alternate between teams as normal with each player on a team deciding whether to mulligan simultaneously. This means players can’t see what their teammate draws from a mulligan before choosing whether to mulligan themselves.
- Players may communicate freely with each other. Each player can see all information their teammate has, such as cards in hand and facedown cards. Strategy discussions should be done in a brief, timely manner.
