So i am going to a two-headed giant tournament. Since we are teamed with whoever we choose. I was wondering what a good duo would be. I know one team is going brothers yamazaki, but we are playing for prizes so i kind of want to win.
I am thinking an aggro and control/def would be the best.
Technically, anything that deals damage to each opponent would “double” under 2HG rule, and any extra turn effect would mean both you and your teammate would get a turn, so I’d go WU control (Augustin?) + a token damage deck that features Purphoros/Impact.
One idea is going 2x purphy. Mass token generation and rocks to get purpjy out quickly. That could start dealing a lot of damage fast.
My experiences were pretty varied, there were events where some of the decks were quite competitive and we earned our wins, and others where we basically curbstomped everyone. Don't know what meta you expect to encounter, but I would prepare for a control deck or two. Maybe something like Purphy paired with Izzet/Azorius/Simic token counterspells?

yea i am building an aggro deck, my friend is going for support deck filling with draw and control. I will be the one dealing damage while he keeps the board empty.

Input and suggestions?

If so, I think that the most powerful thing you can do is probably some sort of pair of Aristocrat style decks. Do something like Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest + Teysa, Orzhov Scion, or Thraximundar + Grimgrin, Corpse-Born, or Kresh the Bloodbraided plus Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, or whatever.
The important thing is that both decks are black, so you get to spam opponents with Blood Artist, Falkenrath Noble, and Poison Tip Archer, draw all the cards off of Harvester of Souls, gain tons of mana off of Black Market, etc. Grimgrin + Thrax are especially interesting as you can do Zombie Tribal, since several zombies don't actually care who controls them for tribal effects (see Zombie Master, Lord of the Undead, Gempalm Polluter, Shepherd of Rot, Soulless One, Noxious Ghoul).
