Title: Mindslaver
Post by: 15bm on May 23, 2012, 09:28:53 PM
If I was in a 2v2 match and I used a {mindslaver} I would gain control of both people right?

It says "target player" for that reason.

 'Target Player discards a card' that doesnt mean both have to. You control one person turn. And his ally can choose not to show you his card. Its still hidden infomation we just allow our ally to see

Q: How does Mindslaver work in Two-Headed Giant?

A: You get to control the entire player's next turn, choosing game actions for both players.

Awesome!  Although I wish he referenced a rule, I still don't think the choices of one "head" are the choices of both players, intuitively at least.  Beware 2HG!
