Would there be anything wrong with running both Brothers Yamazaki as my general(s)? I know EDH is only one of each card, but from a flavor standpoint, they would work better together.
i think id be pretty cool to have both start in the general zone and you keep track of both of their general taxes. so if you play the left one multiple times it will cost more while the right one is still 2R.
Yeah, I think if I was going to do this, it'd have to be either each of them keeping their own general damage tabs, or one of them assigned as the "supreme commander" and dealing damage as a general, with the other one dealing damage normally.
Edit: Of course individual taxing would be necessary.
I think 99 and 2 generals. If it's 98, then it's a thinner deck, so I'd draw specific cards about 1.01ish % more often. Anyone else have an opinion on that?
I'd go with a 98-card deck, and have both of them count towards the same general damage total. They're really, really weak on their own, and not so strong together that the slight advantages you'd get with the above setup would be at all unbalanced.
You may be right there. Rafiq swings for 8 on turn 5 without acceleration, Brothers would swing for 8 turn 6, so it's not horribly broken, except the having to block both of them.
I love creative deck concepts like this and I'd be honored to play against it in person. Go with 98 cards, individual general taxing and combined general damage and good luck!
My wife runs them in her "Alice in Wonderland" deck as Tweedledum and Tweedledee. definitely weak due to slim odds of seeing both but flavorful. As a twin general they would be more interesting and not OP I would think.

Any powerlevel concerns related to using Brothers Friggin' Yamazaki as a generals duo are redic; you could have them have separate tax increases and shared general damage without a hint of powerlevel concern. I think it's an awesome idea.

That sounds like a fantastic idea. I'd love to see a deck built around a two-card commander, with the discussed rules exceptions.

Probably a 99 card deck. Treat them as one general, but I could definitely see it going either way.

I was thinking playing them at the same time for some reason. Don't know why. You're right.
