Title: 2HDG
Post by: Gabriel Gusso on October 16, 2013, 09:22:37 PM
Well, in a two headed giant game, whenever you attack an opponent, both your opponets may block, or only the targeted one?

You attack the player across from you. Only that player can block.

And what if i have No Mercy on play and my ally gets attacked? Does the attacking creature dies?

No. It only affects you,  like {Collective Blessing}.

Curly brackets, link {my post and around the blue stuff} is the stuff.

This is a good one for an infect deck, isn't it? {Blowfly Infestation}

I used this combo when wither was relevant. Very powerful. Just know that the counters could possibly be placed on your own creatures.

You attack and block as one. You dont choose a player to attack and they can block any creature coming at their team. You do choose a player with anything that targets like {searing spear}.

Huh. I need to inform my Casual group of this, thanks.

Yeah your fnm should check the rules.. I played 2hg at the past 4 prereleases..  You attack as one and block as one.
If 1 player runs out of cards in library, that team loses.   
Check the ruling on some enchantments though.. Like sphere of safety.  That actually works great.  It only counts the player that owns its enchantments, but in order to attack the team, card requirements must be met.
Target player effects still target a player.

{Underworld Dreams}
Would it deal 2 damage each turn when the enemy draws or one?

Yeah, my mate and I have always attacked only the person across from us, but have played to be able to block ANY creature coming at our side. If he got attacked, I could block for him. Hell, that's how it works in the Xbox Arcade games too.

I have searched for some rules and now I know that you may even see your friends hand and make plans... What I don't like is that this is just like a person playing two decks.. Anyway, going to keep playing as I did, but blocking as one.
