These notes explain how Eldritch Moon cards work in 2HG. You can find the regular release notes\u00a0here<\/a>. In fact, the regular notes make a whopping 9 references to Two-Headed Giant this time! Perhaps one glorious day this little addendum will be completely redundant.<\/p>\n

2HG has a few\u00a0quirks, often about\u00a0the combat phase and life total changes, but the majority of\u00a0cards work as you\u2019d expect. The golden rule of 2HG\u00a0is:\u00a0\u201cYou\u201d still refers to you alone, not both you and your teammate.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>An ability that boosts \u201ccreatures you control\u201d for example. See\u00a0the\u00a02HG FAQ<\/a>\u00a0if you want to know more about the rules of the format.<\/p>\n

The weirdest card for 2HG this set is Emrakul<\/a> herself!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to play in a 2HG prerelease\u00a0you should\u00a0also check out the 2HG Hidden Gems<\/a> that shows which cards to look out for. Shadows over Innistrad has its own\u00a0Release Notes<\/a> and Hidden Gems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CARD-SPECIFIC NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"en_IJkKa7OdnB\"<\/p>\n

Campaign of Vengeance<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  • You choose one of the defending players who loses 1 life. The defending team doesn’t lose 2 life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    \"en_baZ8vhEsLP\"<\/p>\n

    Cryptolith Fragment<\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    • The mana ability results in\u00a0each team losing 2 life.<\/li>\n
    • In 2HG your life total is the same as your team’s life total. Thus if both teams have 10 or less life, the third ability will trigger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      \"en_Z2nLZiWA1l\"<\/p>\n

      Emrakul, the Promised End<\/em><\/p>\n

        \n
      • In 2HG when you take control of one player, you take control of both players. MADNESS!<\/li>\n
      • To make up for that: when you take an extra turn, your team takes an extra turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        \"en_2rGZDu8fEd\"<\/p>\n

        Fortune’s Favor<\/em><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Even though you target a specific opponent, teammates are always allowed to share information and talk so in practice both opponents can\u00a0look and decide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n

          \"en_5IUGdsWoS1\"<\/p>\n

          Fiend Binder<\/em><\/p>\n

            \n
          • When this attacks you choose one player as defending player from whom you can target a creature. You don’t get to tap two creatures.<\/li>\n
          • The choice has no bearing on other choices about \u2018defending player\u2019 or who you\u2019re attacking. For example, you can attack one opponent\u2019s planeswalker but target\u00a0the other opponent’s creature with this ability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n

            \"en_KYF4VsKVUr\"<\/p>\n

            Lone Rider<\/em><\/p>\n

              \n
            • While your life total is shared, changes to that life total still happen to players individually. The trigger does not count life gained by your teammate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n

              \"en_qm7aQzTzLX\"<\/p>\n

              Lunarch Mantle<\/em><\/p>\n

                \n
              • As the activated ability is granted\u00a0to the creature, if you put this on your teammate’s creature, he or she can activate it, not you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n

                \"en_XJbw9FPngI\"<\/p>\n

                Mind’s Dilation<\/em><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • The ability looks at both opponents separately, so it can potentially trigger twice each turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                  \n

                  \"en_DghUDwp5Un\"<\/p>\n

                  Otherworldly Outburst<\/em><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • If you target\u00a0your teammate’s creature and it dies, you get the token, not your teammate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                    \n

                    \"en_iMzncn04LG\"<\/p>\n

                    Providence<\/em><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • In 2HG\u00a0setting your life to 26 sets your team’s life total to 26. This only counts as losing\/gaining life for you, not for your teammate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                      \n

                      \"en_SmJC0nloDJ\"<\/p>\n

                      Tree of Perdition<\/em><\/p>\n

                        \n
                      • In 2HG your life total is the same as your team’s life total.\u00a0The activated ability exchanges the toughness with the opposing team’s life total.<\/li>\n
                      • The exchange counts as losing\/gaining life only for the player\u00a0you target with the ability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                        \n
