Play Rules/Modifiers
Play, plan, and battle as a team. In Two-Headed Giant, the life total is shared and starts at 30 life. In Two-Headed Giant, each two-player teams shares a starting 30 life and takes their turn simultaneously. The team does not share any other resources other than 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.
- Constructed: Only four copies of any non-basic land card are allowed to be shared between teammates. 60 card deck.
- Limited: Players share a card pool. Players pool the cards they open and build decks together. 40 card deck.
-

- There is no unified construction, though each player's deck should be a legal Commander deck by itself.
- Each team starts with 60 life.
- A team loses when they take 21 or more damage from a single commander OR have 15 or more poison counters.
