In a 2HG game you have 2 opponent's correct?
Or is it 1 opponent but two players?
Got in an argument about this with {Underworld dreams}
Friend didn't seem to get that two people were drawing cards so they'd take 2 damage each turn
Also. was wondering for {tribute to hunger} if its 1 opponent both players would sacrifice a creature right?

Also!
For cards like {Ethereal armor}
Does it count enchantments your team mate plays? Or is it simply ones you've played that count as under "your" control?

You as a team are considered an Opponent. But! You are also considered different players! And your Ethereal Armors only count towards your enchantments :)

Even though you share a life total, there are still 2 players per team. Each opponent will take 1 damage per turn off {Underworld Dreams} for a totally of 2, but you only get to make them sac 1 creature to {Tribute to Hunger}.

810.1.: Two-Headed Giant games are played with two teams of two players each.

810.9.: Damage, loss of life, and gaining life happen to each player individually. The result is applied to the team's shared life total.
Example: In a Two-Headed Giant game, a player casts Flame Rift, which reads, "Flame Rift deals 4 damage to each player." Each team is dealt a total of 8 damage.

Team loses 2 life on draw step..   1 life per player!

Why would it be 2 per player if they're only drawing 1 card each? It's 1 per player for a total of 2 damage to the team each turn.
