In Two-headed Giant EDH, what is the ruling/consensus for both players in a team sharing the same card?
Asked by JoyTheEnbySliverLover 5 years ago
If I had, for example, an Elvish Mystic and my partner has one two, would it be alright? If it is, how about legendary cards? Do they follow the same ruling? I have had some difficulty finding a specific ruling on this topic and wanted to confirm the ruling. As far as I can tell there is no problem. All help is appreciated and I look forward to your answers. Thank you in advance.

Also, to cover this as well, just in case, your titles says “sharing the same card”, and you cannot share resources or cards on the battlefield. For example your teammate cannot tap your Elvish Mystic to get the mana. Likewise, you cannot tap your Elvish Mystic and “donate” the mana to your teammate.

To build on the above, because you are not technically sharing the card, and each player controls his or her own permenants, each member of a 2HG team may control a copy of the same-named legendary permanent.

Raging_Squiggle: in constructed non-edh, any card thats not a basic land can't be used by more than one team mate. the rule you quoted is actually the old rule. it has since been changed

For non-sanctioned anything, you can do whatever.
For sanctioned non-edh: In Constructed, Two-Headed Giant has unified Constructed rules. This means that across the two decks, only four copies of any non-basic land card are allowed to be shared between them. In Limited, Two-Headed Giant games share a card pool. Players pool the cards they open and build decks together.
For sanctioned edh (for whenever LGS’s do that), generally it’s the same rule of unified construction, meaning that the two decks cannot share any card.
