Title: Glacial chasm for 2
Post by: Double-O-Scotch on October 20, 2012, 11:23:16 AM
In two-headed giant (or two-headed whale) if I play a glacial chasm, is all damage dealt to just me reduced to zero? Or all damage dealt to my team reduced to zero?

If we have shared life total does it save my partner from damage too?
Example. I play glacial chasm and {hurricane} for 10. Do we take none and our opponents take 10? Or do we take 10 and our opponents take 20?

Hmmm... Im still unsure about the rules on that. I have an itch that you take 10 and they 20. My group plays it casually so we just go with the protection for one protects both however.

I'm reading up on the rules but haven't read anything specifically ruling on this.

Each head is its own player. The hurricane example is easy, your team takes 10 theirs takes 20. For sure

As for the way the chasm works... Not as well as you'd hope. Whenever attackers are declared, technically the attackers declare which player (or "head") they are attacking. So if you have chasm out, your opponents can keep attacking your partner's head and hitting your life total. This also gets around effects like {Isperia, Supreme Judge} and {Ghostly Prison}.

I think it sucks, but that's the ruling.

But when you cast a {time stretch} and target yourself your partner gets the extra turns as well
