Duly noted.  That's kind of what I was getting at.  My experience with split offense/defense has been very limited as it does appear to be quite an advanced strategy and the results were not favorable the times I've seen it attempted.  I'm glad to know it has reached success.

We won all of our games legitimately with no time outs. The defense deck used I am Creator and had three Heroes that could band to most of the Heroes in the offense deck. The offense deck was fast, so it got those Heroes out quickly. It also contained all of the Dominants.

So the defense deck did have some offense.

If they are slightly more advanced, it's possible to do well with 2 completely different decks as long as none of the cards in one deck contains the counters to the other deck.

Teams happens to be my favorite category and I have found that knowing your partner's playing style helps out A LOT.

Here's a don't do: I highly recommend that you DO NOT suggest that one player builds their deck solely as offense (T1 only) while the other builds on defense (i.e. one player has all heroes and the other has all EC's).  It's very risky and I haven't seen any positive results with that strategy.

mark underwood and i won mw regionals in 2010 with that strategy. But its risky. Yes most all defesense deck for teams still have a few offesseive cards.
