Three Ways to be Successful in a Two Headed Giant Game

First off, let me explain what a Two Headed Giant, in Magic: The Gathering, is. A Two Headed Giant is a 2v2 game where partners share a life total of 30 and also share blockers. Here are some ways one can be successful at winning these matches.
1) Make sure you choose a deck that can help your teammate out.

A good example of this is a life-gaining deck along with an aggro deck of any type. One teammate can sit back and constantly raise their life total while the other can constantly attack with their multitude of creatures.

A bad example of this is a burn deck along with a weak tribal deck, such as elves or myrs. The person with the weak tribal could be struggling to put out creatures, and may not have a lot of lands. Well the other person with the burn deck is feeling impatient, and your enemy is building a pretty large force, so he decides to cast "Destructive Force" (When this card comes into play, each player sacrifices 5 lands and 5 damage is dealt to every creature.) Congratulations Mr. Pyromaniac! You just killed off all of your partner's elves and now he has a single land that can produce mana. Good luck winning a 2v1 now!

2)If your teammate is struggling, try to divert the attention away from him to yourself.

Here is the situation. Your teammate has been getting no land cards for 13 turns. In his hand is a Damnation (Destroy all creatures on the field) that could come in handy now. One of your opponents have been making him put the top cards of his library into the graveyard and a few of those have been lands, which he needs one more to play Damnation. In your hand, you have a Grave Titan (6/6, Deathtouch. Whenever Grave Titan comes into play or attacks, you may put 2 1/1 zombie tokens onto the battlefield) which would make your opponents forget about your partner. Well sure enough, your opponents do forget about your partner, and he gets his last needed mana to play damnation. You cast Ghostaway on your Grave Titan (exile target creature, return it to the battlefield next turn) so it doesn't perish. You wind up winning the game from behind.

3)Try to combo with your partner to lead to a swift victory.

Combos in decks are hard to pull off. But when with a partner, it becomes easier, so why not try to take advantage of that while you can? If you can coordinate with your partner on when to use cards that work together, you're already one step ahead of your enemy.
