Two-Headed Giant

Okay, so lately I've been playing a ton of Two-Headed Giant lately and was wondering what kinds of deck-pairings people use when playing.

What I'm really looking for is NOT: "Oh look. Two Infect decks smashed together work well. Cool."

What I'm really looking for is one of three things:

First Possibility: Two Tribal decks working two different variations of strategies within the Tribe to work well together.
Example: Two Cleric decks. One focusing on protection whereas the other is focused on saccing clerics and relentlessly attacking with meaty clerics.
Cleric Protectors: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=190703
Cleric Aggressors: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=190739

Second Possibility: Taking a powerful singluar kind of deck and splitting it into two pieces to work more efficiently.
Example: A meaty green stompy deck split into a buffing deck and a creature-pumping deck.
Team Booster: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=191657
Team Boosted: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=191746

Third Possibility: Two totally unique decks that meld together in extremely complex, but astoundingly powerful ways.
Example: I got none for you! This possibility is the one I'm most intrigued by so get crackin!


Thanks guys and Good Luck! :D

A creatureless duo. Head one leads the assault backed by head two who copies head one and protects the pair with countermagic and redirects.

My friend Arty is making two decks for competitive EDH ("commander"). From the short glimpses it looks like they'll be the crazy interwoven type you mentioned.

I'll ask him if I can post them when he's done. He's calling them Gemini :D

I have a couple I like to run:

First, I ran my elf-pump deck (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=103549) alongside my buddy's basically-out-of-the-box infect deck, and we murdered.

A personal favorite that pairs well with almost any deck is my defender deck--http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=90235. Boosts Aggro, Control, etc., and also has some odd win conditions.

Lastly, I mostly run this in Emperor, but it also works great in two-headed: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=129690 Built around abusing multiple opponents.

My 2 favorite tag teams done were Tribal Red Goblins & Tribal Black Goblins. THE 1 all my friends hated was B,U Proliferate & My Simics http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=158522 we got hell for running this combo.

Me and my friend ran some all multi-color decks that abused Defiler of Souls. He had a U/G deck that i can't exactly recall but had plenty of counters. I had a B/R deck that would help with everything else.

Rough example:
