INTRODUCTION

Two-Headed Giant isn't a new format, but the official rules (which used shared turns) certainly don't match the kitchen-table versions some of you might be used to playing. In Two-Headed Giant each team consists of two players, each with a 40-card minimum deck. Both players on a team play a single turn simultaneously, like a giant with two heads. Both players share one 40-point life total. If that total reaches zero, the team loses. Coordination is above-board. Team-mates can look at each other's hands and openly communicate. Further details regarding Two-Headed Giant can be found in an article on magicthegathering.com (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/feature/280).
