Two-Headed Giant (also known as 2HG) is a DCI-sanctioned multiplayer format for Magic: the Gathering in which 2 Teams of 2 players each all play together in a single game. [1] [2] [3]

Each team sits together on one side of the table. Each team decides the order in which its players sit. The player seated on the right within each team is the primary player, and the player seated on the left is the secondary player. Each team has a shared life total, which starts at 30 life.

Two-Headed Giant Constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size; however, you must be able to shuffle your deck with no assistance. Teammates may review each other's hands and discuss strategies at any time. Each team takes turns rather than each player. Both the players on a team take their team turn at the exact same time.

Rules

Two-Headed Giant uses the Unified Deck Construction rules (with the exception of basic land cards, a team's combined decks may not contain more than four of any individual card). Sideboards are not allowed in Constructed Multiplayer tournaments. If a card is restricted in a particular format, no more than one of that card may be used by the team. No players may use cards that are banned in a particular format.

In addition to the above rules, the following card is banned in Constructed Two-Headed Giant tournaments:
