Two Deck FAQ

What is the Two Deck Format? It’s an alternate format that divides a 60 cards Vs deck into two 30 card decks. One deck is your character deck(containing your Characters and Equipment) the other is your writer deck(Containing Plot Twists and Locations).

What are the deckbuilding rules? Minimum of 30 cards in each deck, with no more than 4 copies of any given name/version. Army cards are the exception, which have no maximum. The standard Vs banned list is held in place.

 How do you Draw Cards? Alternating from the writer deck to the character deck. The rotation resets at the beginning of each turn. Example: If you draw a card during your recovery phase and it comes from your Writer deck your first out of draw phase draw would still come from the writer deck the next turn. Replacing resources is considered to be drawing cards. If another player’s effect replaces the card it still follows your rotation.

How Do Search Cards work? Search cards target the deck containing the target for your search. If you play a Bat Signal, you will search only your character deck. Alfred Pennyworth, Faithful Friend can search either deck as he searches for Equipment OR Plot twists.

What about cards that reveal the top card? Cards that say to reveal the top X cards of your deck alternate between decks following your draw rotation. Example: Cerebro says reveal the top two cards of your deck. You’d reveal in the rotation order, revealing the top card of both decks.

How do you win? Standard Vs rules. Each player gets 50 endurance, etc.

Are there Separate KO’d Piles? No. A single KO’d Pile is used. Effects that put cards on the Top of your deck put their targets on the appropriate deck. Example: If Poseidonis activates targetting a plot twist it goes on your Writer deck, you cannot put it on top of your character deck.

Any other questions can be left as a comment and I’ll update as more questions arise.

  1. Looks really fun. I will start a Realms thread for the format when I get home, unless it is already started when I get there!

    Thank you Kenpachi-san, I will let you know what people say about the format. I’m tired of silver/modern. I want fun older stuff.

    Sounds like it’ll be a blast. If you ever want to try it out in hobby league let me know and head on up to Wilson and we’ll make sure it happens. I’ll let you know if I ever get a chance to try it out.

    I think I might just try to rock that out. You guys do HL every Friday, yes?
    Also: Are any of you coming on the 12th for BYOS and Strange Bedfellows?
