Two Headed Giant (symbiotic relationship)

Deck Help forum

Posted on July 20, 2012, 3:41 a.m. by duck121

Would anyone like to make two decks with me for Two Headed Giant, that work together in a type of symbiotic relationship?

me and a friend played an all spell deck[me] and a white token deck once. When the tokens get rolling its hard to stop and thats on its own. Adding in control/burn seems like a perfect fit. Defensive/mill would be cool. Just take a deck you like, find it's weaknesses and partner up a deck to counter it.

And how about 'team' cards? Both play some things like Accumulated Knowledge or Flame Burst (and possible Pardic Firecat ). Red-Blue seems like a good combination anyways...

The 4 limit rule hurts 2HG sadly, but you can totally still have some fun. I'll have to see if I can think of any ideas today

Best pairing I've played against was a mono blue Hedron Crab based mill deck paired with a B/x (cant remember the color for the life of me) reanimator deck. One would mill out your big nastys and the other guy would yank them out of your graveyard, blue would counter, black would kill. it was SCARY tagteam.

My partner was a pure blue control when we played, Everything in his deck was counter, control, or something like it. The only creatures he had where a few Guard Gomazoa . I ran crazy ramp, infinite combo a few times, and then a U/B/W board lock with Stormtide Leviathan , Angelic Arbiter , Painful Quandary at the forefront of this deck. Haven't played 2HG in a while tho.

it seems to me any "sword and shield" partnership is the best way to format it, however it seems so... dull. is there a way we could take it and make it more interesting then that? or would it be how you play it?

It tends to be the most effective because it is the most reliable. One deck more often then not always plays faster then the other, The "Sword". and the Other always is more protective then the other, The "Shield". but you can play 2 Swords. Or you can play a Sword wich is can block an attack and play with an Aggro deck (the Dagger lol). It depends How you want the game to be.

I'm building Orzhov Extort that combos out via Vizkopa Guildmage and Exquisite Blood ... My buddy is building a wall deck.

Sorry to Reanimate this thread.
