MTG Salvation

Simple enough question

I'm not sure how I feel about it, I can see both sides making good points

YES
- While there are four players, it's one team vs one team so it's basically a variant on one-on-one

NO
- There are four players, answers are aplenty

Normally we just grab a multiplayer deck and roll dice for teams.

EDIT: We do it as nothing more than a change of pace.

I stopped playing 2HG EDH because the games were so swingy - even more than regular multiplayer EDH. We used the regular ban list and whatever decks we had on-hand at the time. If I were to give it a shot again, using the deck building restrictions of regular 2HG (no more than 1 of any non-basic card shared between decks, in this case) would be more important than using a particular EDH ban list, I think. I'd probably start with a combined ban list (both regular and duel) too.

I don't know, what list of bands do you use when playing?

Or did you mean banned list?

If it's the latter, then multiplayer is a game of three plus people - whether that's 2HG or Emperor or otherwise - so that looks like it would follow a multiplayer list to me.

we don't use it, but i wish like hell we did.

the problems with 1v1 using the multiplayer banlist are doubled by adding a second player. i get so tired of edric.

they're also timed rounds for some stupid ****ing reason.

Whenever we play 2HG we never use the 1v1 ban list, have never even considered it tbh.

The few times I've played 2HG EDH, this is exactly what we've done. Seems to work.
