Did a 2HG on Sunday, didn't have a partner but had a pretty good one. I ended up running BR and he went for UG. It was more gameplay synergistic than typal, allstars were the frog that draws you stuff when it bounces and Innkeeper's Talent. We also had the elemental snake but it was either immediately removed or just winmore. 2 of our opponents also had the snake which was way harder when I didn't seem to draw any of the 8 removal spells I was packing. Ended up going 3-1 overall, and I pulled a Three-Tree City and a Ledger Shredder special guest which is great! Though I am a little jealous that my partner even managed to pull a Winter Three-Tree City!
Wow I've never run into that. I've just assumed everybody would keep whatever they opened. I've even lucked out twice with partners who are really only interested in limited and will only keep the cards they can immediately flip for another draft
In all the ones I've done we each opened our own prerelease kit and then loaned each other whatever cards we needed for our decks. But that's just my experience 🤷♂️
Solid run and solid pulls all round. Congrats to you both.
Man, I'd love more 2HG engagement where I am. The odd little tweaks to power and synergy really make for interesting subtly different gameplay.
I imagine the gift/exile-bounce spells does a lot better in 2HG.
Yeah I drafted 2 Teapot Slingers specifically for 2HG. They really pack a punch especially when they stack. Run Away Together was another allstar
