GENERAL NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n

You<\/strong><\/p>\n

The golden rule for 2HG is\u00a0\u201cYou\u201d\u00a0<\/em>still refers to you alone, not both you and your teammate.\u00a0<\/strong>Look for the word \u201cyou<\/em>\u201d in the card text, such as \u201ccreatures you control get +1\/+1<\/em>\u201d, etc.<\/p>\n

Each<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cards that say\u00a0\u201ceach opponent\u201d<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0\u201ceach player\u201d<\/em>\u00a0do affect more\u00a0players than usual.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vindictive Vampire will deal 2 damage total to the opponents and\u00a0you<\/em> still gain only 1 life.<\/p>\n

\n

NEW MECHANIC: SPECTACLE<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Spectacle’s condition is that an opponent lost life this turn, but it doesn’t matter who caused that loss of life. If your teammate damaged your opponents you can cast a card with spectacle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    COMBAT<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Angelic Exaltation<\/p>\n

      \n
    • It does not count as “attacks alone” if your teammate also attacks with one or more creatures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      <\/p>\n

      Forbidding Spirit<\/p>\n

        \n
      • The attacking team chooses for each creature they declare as an attacker which defending player it attacks. That means that this ability does nothing most of the time in 2HG, as your opponents can simply choose to attack your teammate with everything. This is a recent change from how it worked a year ago.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        <\/p>\n

        Sunder Shaman<\/p>\n

          \n
        • When you declare this as an attacker you choose which opponent it attacks. If this is unblocked only that opponent will be damaged and you can only target an artifact or enchantment they control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n

          <\/p>\n

          Orzhov Racketeers<\/p>\n

            \n
          • When you declare this as an attacker you choose which opponent it attacks. If this is unblocked only that opponent will be damaged and only they will discard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n

            LIFE TOTAL<\/p>\n

            <\/p>\n

            Angel of Grace<\/p>\n

              \n
            • In 2HG the life total is shared, therefore this ability will apply to damage dealt to your teammate because that reduces your life total and this ability does not specify that it only applies to damage dealt to you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
