wotc
In a Two-Headed Giant game, each player on a team gets a chance to pay life. The team's life total is adjusted in between.
wotc
If a player chooses to spend life, their life total goes down immediately. This will affect how much life that player can spend the next time the process gets around to them. If a player chooses to pay life three different times during this process, for example, that counts as three separate instances of losing life, not as one.
