808. Multiplayer Rules : Team vs. Team Variant
808.1.
Team vs. Team games are played with two or more teams. Each team may have any number of
players on it.
808.2.
Each team sits together on one side of the table. Each team decides the order in which its players
sit.
808.3.
Any multiplayer options used are determined before play begins. The Team vs. Team variant
uses the following default options.

The attack multiple players option is used (see rule 802).
808.3b
The deploy creatures options and limited range of influence options usually aren‘t used in
the Team vs. Team variant.
808.4.
To determine which player goes first, randomly choose a team. If that team has an odd number
of players, the player in its center seat goes first. If that team has an even number of players, the
player to the left of its midpoint goes first. Turn order goes to the players‘ left.
808.5.
In the Team vs. Team variant, a team‘s resources (cards in hand, mana, and so on) are not
shared. Teammates may review each other‘s hands and discuss strategies at any time. Teammates
can‘t manipulate each other‘s cards or permanents.
