The Tournament of Two Heads

  • Steve's Espresso 1801 East Baseline Road Tempe, AZ, 85283 United States (map)

Calling all Old Schoolers in the AZ!

Mike Griffin, founding member of the Desert Twisters and all around Old School aficionado, will be hosting our first ever Two-Headed Giant tournament at the end of March!

We will meet at Steve's Espresso at noon on Sunday the 29th, and play a casual Two-Headed Giant tournament until they kick us out around 5pm! Steve's has awesome little breakfast tacos, bloody mary's and big ass wood tables and benches where we can play. It's also generally quiet on Sundays, unlike a lot of the other brunch joints in PHX.

This will be a casual event with no prize support, and we will be using the Pacific Old School rules and restrictions.

So, find a friend, or just show up and make a new one, and enjoy a Sunday full of cross table Chaos Orb flips, and other such idiocy!

Here's the TL;DR on Two-Headed Giant...

Two-Headed Giant is a fun multiplayer format where two-player teams battle against one another.

Each team has a shared life total that starts at 30 life.

Each team takes their turn together, meaning they draw as a team, attack as a team, block as a team, and go through all phases of the turn as a team.

The team that goes first skips their first draw step.

Teams do NOT share any resources other than life--meaning players can't share cards in hand or mana.

Teams may share information and strategize together.

First mulligan is free.
