Flavour text
"The walls of Argive were built by a peaceful dynastic union that has guarded us against war for fifteen centuries. The lesson is clear."
Rulings
In a Two-Headed Giant game, creatures can attack your teammate and planeswalkers your teammate controls without requiring a mana payment. This is a change from previous rules.
If you control Baird, your opponents can choose not to pay to attack with a creature that attacks "if able." If there's no other player, planeswalker, or battle to attack, that creature simply doesn't attack.
