It's time to team up and flex your commander decks in our first bracket tournament for Commander! We are so excited to launch our first Two-Headed Giant event in years and we're starting off with a bang with Commander.
Players need to team up with another player, and then play games against other pairs in hope of beating the best of the best and taking the Two-Headed crown. Please be aware that tickets are to be purchased for a team of 2, not per person.
As this is our first event of this nature, we are eager to receive feedback from all the players, so please share anything you'd like us to do differently, or that you enjoy about this event in the future - or even other formats you might like to see use Two-Headed Giant!
So, what are the rules for 2HG Commander?
- working in teams of two, each player comes armed with a regular commander deck (up to bracket 4, no infinite combos)- the starting team cannot draw on their first turn- Commander damage is set at 21 per commander- each team has a combined life total of 50- teams take their turns together, and change phases together- during combat players must declare which player/planeswalker is being attacked for each creature- a player can block attacks targeting their teammates- you only control cards you own individually, your only shared resource is life and may only interact with things you directly own or control
This event will have a capacity of 8 teams of 2, in the two-headed giant commander format and will be run using best of 1 SWISS rounds.
Timings:
Registration will begin from 10:30am, with the first round to start at 11am. Rounds will be 1 hour and 30 minutes long with a 5 minute break between rounds (if needed), and will be best of 1.

ID & Decklists:
This event requires all participants to have a MTG Arena or MTG Companion App account. Please have your email associated with that account to hand in case it is needed for sign in.
Whilst decklists are not required for this event, players are required to disclose the bracket of their deck as determined by WOTCs official system. For detailed info on that please see the link here. We recommend the use of the Manabox app as once your deck has been input you can tap the info tab to get your decks bracket automatically. If you are found to be playing cards that would place your deck a bracket higher than that of the one you declared your team may be required to forfeit the round to your opponents and deck corrections be made.
The ban list for Commander should be adhered to, and we do not allow the use of proxies at our events.
Decks up to and including Bracket 4 will be accepted, however we ask that you refrain from including infinite combos in your deck.
