Deck Challenge: Couples Decks

The goal is to make two decks for two headed giant. I thought of this when trying to build something for me and my fiance to play together. They need to support and help each other in some way. Each deck needs to either build on the other in some way or work together to a common goal. It is also possible to make one deck protect the other while the other gets its going. Really any two decks that need the other to have a chance at victory work. This is not meant for a tournament environment but for a casual one. You can, however, make tournament decks if you so choose.

The deck is meant for each player to have a copy of it. This is legal in all non-tournament formats. Even two headed giant.
According to the official rules in the magic the gathering comprehensive rules the 4 cards of a single name in all decks on a team rule only applies to tournament teams not to casual teams. The casual rules in the official rules document do not say such. This deck is meant to be played with two casual players each sharing a copy of it. Do not play it in a tourney, it will lose even without that tournament rule.
The regular rules: http://www.wizards.com/magic/comprules/MagicCompRules_20110930.pdf
The tournament rules: http://www.wizards.com/ContentResources/Wizards/WPN/Main/Documents/Magic_The_Gathering_TwoHeaded_Giant_Tournament_FAQ_PDF1.pdf
You'll see the regular rules don't include the 4 card limit. They made special rules for tournament play that do. These do not apply in regular play.

I decided to take advantage of the shared life total:
deck 1 protects deck 2 while it gets Felidar Sovereign.

in all honesty its pretty simple how this could work. tournament decks could be something along the lines of one person runs blitz infect, the other runs HEAVY control proliferate. protects the infect deck and life totals from spells while the infect deck blasts through some damage.

infect deck would be :manab::manag:

proliferate deck would be mono :manau:

if you dont want to be cheap and run infect, then run a myr deck with an infinite myr combo. yet again second deck is mono :manau: control, minus proliferate, add more control.

XD best i can think of off the top of my head. thats more tournament based than anything tho. i'd have to think more for a more casual/viable deck set for kitchen magic.
