Need help with 2 Headed Giant decks (STD)
Deck Help forum
Posted on June 20, 2013, 10:34 a.m. by harrydemon117
My LGS has a Two headed Giant Standard tournament on the 3rd Friday of every month. My partner and I have done well (either 1st or 2nd) for the most part until recently when people started running "double control" teams.
I have built the following two decks to combat this Metagame change:
2HG Reanimator / Land destruction
Please take a look and any comments are welcome!

Basically I'm looking for ways to improve the matchups against double control decks (Either Azorius/Dimir or Izzet/Azorius)

I might consider throwing a few extort tiggers in one or even both the decks. In 2HG extort is huge in keeping your life total up and a good way to damage your opponents without attacks habing to get through. the reanimator should absolutely run Debt to the Deathless and should play it only when the grixis control has a counterspell available to counter and counters targeting the debt.

The only problem I have with Extort is the matchups I'm worried about don't win by bringing our life to 0. They win by milling us out with Jace, Memory Adept and Psychic Spiral or event Nephalia Drownyard and Mind Grind
Not to mention they run board sweepers like Supreme Verdict that you can't counter

Okay,, so i made a couple of tweaks as I do not have the Jace, Architect of Thought s as my brother traded them (even after he KNEW I ran them every 2HG that we play in... sigh)
I am now using Jace, Memory Adept in its place and quite frankly it's a 2 for 1 for me so I can draw and mill his reanimator deck

These worked out great! We made 2 misplays that cost us 2/4 matches but otherwise I think we would have taken 1st. I saw the control decks I expected but we didn't get to face them as we lost our first game (due to a misplay on my part not removing a Bloodline Keeper Flip instead of the Thalia, Guardian of Thraben I DID remove)
