This is a quick reference guide on\u00a0how cards from Battle for Zendikar work in Two-Headed Giant.\u00a0These explanations assume you’re already familiar with how these cards work in a normal\u00a0game. You can find the regular release notes\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While in most cases the wording of the card itself makes it sufficiently clear how it works in 2HG (see Golden Rule below), there are some areas with extra rules baggage. This mostly concerns the combat phase and life total changes.\u00a0Cards with such\u00a0interactions are explained here so you do not have to look up the specific\u00a0rules themselves. If you do want to know more about the rules of the format in general, check out the\u00a02HG FAQ<\/a>\u00a0as well.<\/p>\n

The most important thing\u00a0to remember is the Golden Rule of 2HG: “You” still refers to you alone, not both you and your teammate.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0For example, cards that boost “creatures you control” or cards that trigger whenever something enters the battlefield “under\u00a0your control” or whenever “you cast” something still only look at your own cards. There are a few rare instances where “you” does refer to your team but those will always be specifically mentioned in the Release Notes.<\/p>\n

If you’re going to play in\u00a0a 2HG prerelease and you would like to know which cards to look out for, you should also check out the 2HG\u00a0Hidden Gems<\/a>\u00a0article.<\/p>\n

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

New Mulligan Rule<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starting with the Battle for Zendikar prerelease the new mulligan rule will go into effect (read the full explanation here<\/a>). After every player is done with mulligans, each player who has less than seven cards can scry 1, in turn order. For Two-Headed Giant there are two things to keep in mind.<\/p>\n
