Rulings
In a Two-Headed Giant game, Underhanded Designs's first ability causes the opposing team to lose a total of 2 life. You still gain only 1 life.
The number of artifacts you control is checked only as you activate Underhanded Designs's last ability. It's not checked again as it resolves.
You can pay only once each time Underhanded Designs's triggered ability resolves. You can't pay more to cause your opponents to lose more life.
