Augment is basically a way cooler version of auras that only work on certain creatures.

The real rules question for this set is "What happens if an augment creature gets put onto the battlefield by itself?"

I would be unashamed to admit that I would probably play an MTG-inspired 18xx, with dinosaurs.

810.8b If a player concedes, his or her team leaves the game immediately. That team loses the game. Something to bear in mind. I just want to see how many times I can resolve that spell in a single game.

Unless I'm missing something, Better than One seems like mostly downside TBH. You now have two boards to defend and take twice as much hurt from "each opponent suffers $badthing," and benefit basically only from double card draw. You can't augment eachother's creatures (probably?) and your steamflogger boss doesn't help his riggers.

Don't you get double land drops as well? There is some 2HG awkwardness but it seems pretty strong for a 2 mana card. It seems like a weird set to draft because there are 2 cards in every pack that you can't put in your deck and there's a lot of cards that don't really do much or which are situational like the Augments. You might have a lot of trouble getting enough playables.

Elyv posted:double card draw is good It is very good, but IMO not worth having to defend two boards that will both likely be at best half as developed as your opponent's. But it is fun and funny, in this, the joke set.

If the activated ability has no valid target upon resolution, it counters itself and so never moves the card out of your hand.

In Two Headed Giant creatures can be blocked by either player, which helps.

It says they become your teammate, I didn't realize that meant in the 2HG sense. I guess that makes sense flavorfully

As far as "playables" go, I've noticed that the power level is very, very low. Probably by design, so there may be more playable cards in your pool than you might think. They couldn't make a set this low-powered in black-border.

Augments can get onto the battlefield pretty easily with things like elvish piper and then rules lawyer can make them stick around. If this were black border they'd need to cover what the hell happens there but it's silver so

I also thought this at first, but was disappointed the text was just a rehash of Steamflogger Boss's joke. The actual reason for the mechanic is even better though!
