606.9c.

If an effect would set a single player's life total to a number, that player's team's life total becomes that number.

Example: In a Two-Headed Giant game, a player is on a team that has 25 life and plays a spell that reads, "Double your life total." That player's life total is considered to be 13 for the purpose of the spell, so the spell sets that team's life total to 26.

606.9c.

If an effect would set a single player's life total to a number, that player's individual life total becomes that number. The team's life total is adjusted by the amount that player's life total was adjusted.

Example: In a Two-Headed Giant game, a player on a team that has 25 life plays a spell that reads, "Your life total becomes 20." That player's life total is considered to be 13 for the purpose of the spell, so it becomes 20 and the team's life total becomes 32 (25 + (20 — 13)).
