Title: Tips for a Newbie Two Headed Gaint Sealed Tournament
Post by: Cakeisfun on April 12, 2012, 12:01:34 PM
My card shop is host a Two Headed Giant Sealed For FNM this week. Any tips for a first timer at one of these Two Headed Giant Sealed? Thanks :)

Try to make sure your decks have some synergy. Otherwise it makes for a bad night

P.s. It's a 4 innistrad and a 4 dark ascension, if that helps

I'd say it's based on you and your partners card pool dude. But like said before, make sure you two have tons of synergy. It's all about team work.

Ok then, is there any cards I should look out for when we open the packs that are really good?

A deck of flyers is really hard to deal with in limited format. It's pretty much unblockable for 80% of the time. If your partner and yourself work out a good balance of creatures and removals (burn/destroy/exile) you should have no problem dealing with what your opponent drops.
Argo is a much better strategy in limited too. As its only 40 cards, you get to see your key cards more often, don't hesitate to put in that 5 or 6 drop flyer as he will win you the game most of the time. And as there are very few board wipes in those two sets, hordes of creatures can be hard to deal with. (especially flyers, as I mentioned before)
But yeah synergy is key.
Good luck, have fun.

Mill cards are great in a sealed tournament because the decks are only 40. I got destroyed playing against a guy at a sealed draft that pulled an {increasing confusion}. I'd suggest one person goes control/mill and another person goes aggro

{increasing savagery} is nice. My last 2 headed giant, me and my teammate won with a 17/17 {shriekgiest}

Awesome! What deck did you end up building and what did your partner make?

Also what did you find was the strongest combo that you saw?

And above all, did you have fun?! :)
