• 102.4. A spell or ability may use the term “your team” as shorthand for “you and/or your teammates.” In a game that isn’t a multiplayer game between teams, “your team” means the same thing as “you.”

Your team

Battlebond introduced "your team". Any card that refers to "your team" refers to you or a teammate. If you're not playing a team game, "your team" just means "you."

Team variants

• Team vs. Team
• Emperor
• Two-Headed Giant
• Alternating Teams

Professional play

In Professional play, most Magic players also work with a team of some sort, to brew and playtest.
