Rules

In this variant, you and your partner sit next to each other, across from your two opponents. The left player of one team takes the first turn, and then play passes to the left, so one team will have the first and fourth turns while the other team will go second and third. You may attack only the player across from you; if that player is eliminated, you may then attack your remaining opponent. Table talk isn’t allowed and life totals aren’t shared.

  • Marching Creatures: You can move your creatures to your teammate’s territory, the space in front of your teammate where his or her cards go. This allows your creatures to block for your teammate and attack the opponents next to your teammate. You move creatures as part of declaring your attack; to move a creature, simply place it in the territory to which you’re moving it. Moving a creature counts as that creature’s attack for that turn and follows the same restrictions; if a creature can’t attack, you can’t move it either. Moving a creature doesn’t tap it and your moved creatures remain under your control—that is, you decide whether they attack or block, when to use their abilities, and whom they attack during your turn. But they can block attacks only for the player whose territory they occupy; they can’t block for you. Your moved creatures can attack only the players next to the player whose territory they occupy, not the players your creatures can normally attack. However, your moved creatures still attack during your combat phase, not your teammate’s, so your moved creatures and your teammate’s creatures can’t attack together

  • Range: Your spells can affect anyone on the table. Global effects affect everyone on the table.

  • Eliminating players: When one player dies, all of his cards are removed from play. This includes creatures which are in front of other players, or which have been controlled by the enemy. It also includes any enchantments, artifacts, and land controlled by that player. However, permanent effects, like +1/+1 counters, are not removed.

Banned & Restricted List

 When playing this variant it is usually decided what Type you will be playing. So, if you are playing Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, or Extended Teams then, follow that format’s Banned and Restricted List.

Mulligan Rules

Standard “Paris” Mulligan is used for this variant.

Before each game begins, a player may, for any reason, reshuffle and redraw his hand, drawing one less card. This may be repeated as often as the player wishes, until he has no cards left in his hand. After the participant, who plays first, mulligans as often as he likes, the decision of whether to mulligan passes to the other player. Once a player passes the opportunity to mulligan, that player may not change his mind.
