In a Two-Headed Giant game, the first chapter ability deals to damage to each player on the opposing team, reducing that team's life total by 4.

As a Saga with read ahead enters the battlefield, its controller chooses a number from one to that Saga's greatest chapter number. The Saga enters the battlefield with the chosen number of lore counters. Neither choosing the number nor putting the counters on the Saga use the stack, and neither can be responded to.
