Ed: If anyone sees two white enchantments that say : "target creature gets +x+x where x is the number of basic land types you have in play" I lost them from my basic lands deck. i think i enchanted a teammate's creatures and may have lost them in the suffle.
Ed: the complete magic set is back at BnD. I have organized the cards by color, creature vs spell, casting cost and finally alphabetical. Artifacts, creature artifacts, mana generating artifacts, gold and land are in a box by casting cost and alphabetical (but not separators for each mana cost). I did this because i think it makes deck making much easier. I ask that cards go back to their appropriate spot, or leave them in a pile and i will put them away.
Everyone, feel free to pillage specific cards, revamp or completely disassemble any deck that i have put together (they are all in starter boxes). If you pillage a few cards from a deck, leave it separated so that if i want i can sub in another card. seriously, take any cards you want from any deck. I have all the decks entered into magic workstation so i can even recreate them.

2 headed giant rules
each team starts with 30 life.
Each player gets one free mulligan regardless of landage in hand.
Any one-shot effect or characteristic-defining ability that refers to the “defending player” refers to one specific defending player, not to both of the defending players (ie hypnotic spectre).
For Islandhome or Landwalk abilities, it works if either player has the land type.
In a Two-Headed Giant game, a player plays Flame Rift, which reads, “Flame Rift deals 4 damage to each player.” Each team is dealt a total of 8 damage
The Two-Headed Giant variant can also be played with equally sized teams of more than two players. Each team’s starting life total is equal to 15 times the number of players on the team. (These variants are unofficially called Three-Headed Giant, Four-Headed Giant, and so on.)
Other Multiplayer rules
In other multiplayer games (besides 2head giant, no one skips their draw step on turn 1.
Vintage Play
Since this seems to be the format we use I think we should restrict these cards as they are listed. By the way, time walk is so nasty... So yeah, only one of these cards is good from now on, yes? [2]
Rules Questions
Question: If I fork a spell that "gives me another turn after this one" does that mean I get two? Do they stack?
--Edmiao 10:07, 30 July 2008 (MST) my guess is yes they stack.
Question: If a card says "When player plays..." or "When you play..." and the spell is countered, does that still count as being played?
--Edmiao 10:07, 30 July 2008 (MST) i think countered spells count as not being played. ie a countered instant does not buff your wee dragons (which have +2/+0 for each instant played this turn)
Links to decks and strategy
Decks
JASON: Here is a fun theme: 5 color, all casting cost 3 or less.
JASON: You dont need dual lands (though a pain land or two helps) for this deck because the casting costs are all so low. Here is an example (off the top of my head, with only cards I know):
4 forest
3 swamp
4 mountain
3 island
3 plains
4 blue-black pain lands
1 Zuran Orb
1 Savannah Lions
2 Swords to Plowshares
1 Balance
1 Land Tax
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Slith Firewalker
2 Giant Growth
4 Rancor
1 Berserk
4 Blastoderm
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Underworld Dreams
4 Hypnotic Spectre
1 Necropotence
2 Counterspell
2 Power Sink
1 Unsommon
2 Lim-Dul's Vault
Cha-Ching! This deck should work very well in duel, but, as with all my designs, get pwned in multi. Its a common theme, but nothing like other peoples decks. EDIT: Ok, I couldnt think of a green creature when I made this, so now I put in Blastoderm. It costs 4, so its a bit too large, but its rad. Really, the idea is some green creature for the theme to provide muscle.
