Combine your sealed pool with a friend\u2019s and build the best two decks. With more cards to use, Two-Headed Giant decks will generally be stronger than their single-pool counterparts, so craft yours accordingly. Here are a few tips to help guide you toward this format\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HIDDEN GEMS<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Evasion:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> With more creatures in play, board stalls can happen very quickly. Evasive creatures are critical! Flying is critical both on offense and defense. Also keep an eye out for creatures in the set that can\u2019t be blocked like <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Tetsuko+Umezawa%2C+Fugitive&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive<\/a>. On the other hand, creatures with menace like <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Stronghold+Confessor&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Stronghold Confessor<\/a> tend to be much worse with twice as many potential blockers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Countermagic:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Being able to shut down an enemy spell is twice as likely to happen with two spell-casting opponents. With stronger decks there are more must-answer bombs overall and the risk of devoting a turn to counter an enemy spell (say, with <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Wizard%26%238217%3Bs+Retort&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Wizard&#8217;s Retort<\/a>) is less problematic when your teammate helps advance the board. Even situational counterspells like <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Unwind&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Unwind<\/a> find their targets more often.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Situational Answers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Cards that only interact with specific card or creature types are normally relegated to the sideboard but with two opponents they\u2019re more likely to have a target. Remember that matches just one game &#8211; you won\u2019t have a chance to grab a silver bullet after seeing what you\u2019re facing! Look for versatile cards that answer multiple threat types like <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Blessed+Light&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Blessed Light<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Fiery+Intervention&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Fiery Intervention<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Synergy:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The larger shared pool means decks can be more synergy-based than when you\u2019re on your own. You\u2019re also likely to have more cards like <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Rat+Colony&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Rat Colony<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Powerstone+Shard&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Powerstone Shard<\/a> that benefit from multiple copies. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember to check for that sneaky text, \u201cyou control\u201d &#8211; many cards in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dominaria<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> only impact your own board!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Quick Tips<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Play or draw:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In 2HG sealed it\u2019s often correct to choose to draw if your decks aren\u2019t incredibly aggressive. Drawing two extra cards on your first turn can be a significant advantage if you\u2019re planning for a longer game.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Mulligan: <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each player has one \u2018free\u2019 mulligan. Use it aggressively! If you have a sub-par hand, pitch it back and try again. Don&#8217;t risk a mediocre opening seven.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>BETTER WITH FRIENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As we mentioned earlier, 2HG matches are best of one. You want as many of your cards as possible to be efficient and flexible. That doesn\u2019t only mean packing cards that answer different threats; it can also mean engaging with your teammate.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Utility: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Pegasus+Courser&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Pegasus Courser<\/a> attacks, you can choose any another attacking creature to gain flying, including a teammate\u2019s.

It can be yours, your teammate\u2019s or even an opponent\u2019s &#8211; choice is valuable!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Combat Tricks: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instant-speed spells that don\u2019t specify creatures \u201cyou control\u201d can be great at fouling up combat math for the opponent. Watch for (and watch out for) common and uncommon tricks like <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Adamant+Will&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Adamant Will<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Arbor+Armament&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Arbor Armament<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Blessing+of+Belzenlok&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Blessing of Belzenlok<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Fervent+Strike&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Fervent Strike<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Gift+of+Growth&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Gift of Growth<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/2hg\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Run+Amok&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Run Amok<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Suit Up: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pay attention to restrictions on your auras and enchantments.
