If I CAN, what about cards that simply say "search draw pile"? Is that assumed to read "search holder's draw pile" or "search YOUR draw pile"?

Great question. I'm glad i got this clarified.

More questions!

Let's say my team-mate and I both have Plague with Diseases out, or Crown of Thorns, for example. I'm guessing it would be cumulative due to the wording on the card, is there something I might be missing that prevents that from being true?

Also, Hidden Treasures states "Once per turn, if your lone green brigade prophet begins a battle, you may play an Enhancement or discard an evil Enhancement in an opponent's deck."

If me and my team-mate both have them out. And I make a rescue attempt with a lone green brigade prophet, can I play an enhancement, and have him discard an opponents evil enhancement from deck?

I find this problematic.  I'm not sure there's a better solution, but that's a very fine (and occasionally fuzzy) line to draw.

The line is actually very clear because it whether the word "your" is on a card is an objective criteria.  As for the rule causing problems, I understand your concern, but so far it hasn't.

The official rules for teams include BOTH an intro-prep phase and the second player draws three rule

I agree with Mike.  You are correct that intro-prep hasn't been adopted by the other formats of Redemption though.

Let's say my team-mate and I both have Plague with Diseases out, or Crown of Thorns, for example. I'm guessing it would be cumulative due to the wording on the card, is there something I might be missing that prevents that from being true?

I believe that you are correct that these would be cumulative.

If me and my team-mate both have [Hidden Treasures] out. And I make a rescue attempt with a lone green brigade prophet, can I play an enhancement, and have him discard an opponents evil enhancement from deck?

I believe that if you both had HT activated, then you could do what you suggest here.  However, if he had already used HT on his turn during his own attack, then he would not be able to use it again.

So if only I have Hidden Treasures and my opponent attacks with a green brigade prophet, can I play an enhancements?

No, what I was getting at, is, let's say YOU have Hidden Treasures up, and your teammate attacks with a green brigade prophet. You can't play an enhancement because you can't play enhancements on your teammates heroes, however, you CAN discard from an opponents draw pile.

1) How are the players supposed to sit? Side to side or in a round table every other seat?

The players on the 2 teams should alternate around the table.  So it should go A1, B1, A2, B2.

2) Am I aloud to show my partner my hand?

Only if you show it to all the players at the table.  And even then, it probably would be considered a little weird

I think the reason the answer is no is so as to not have mayhem wars.  (ie if someone draws their hand faster and plops it and mayhem down and no one else gets an intro-prep it seems quite unfair...)

Can I play dominants during intro prep phase? According to Reyzen's explanation in the Teams Official Rules thingy, no.

I think that I agree with Reyzen.  For Intro-prep to be fair, everyone should get to do it with their original 8 cards.  Then as soon as the 1st turn starts, you are welcome to play your Mayhem if you like

     How does Burial Shroud work in TEAMS?  From the way the card is worded, both of the opponents of the player who activates Burial Shroud do not get to attack the player who activated it, but they can attack the player's ally, and the ally of the player who activates Burial Shroud still is allowed to attack and rescue.  In our playgroup's opinion this is not the intent of the card.  This would make Burial Shroud underpowered in TEAMS.  Our playgroup is requesting an errata for Burial Shroud that will work in all forms of play.
     Our recommendation is to rephrase the special ability in this way: "Holder and holder's partners may not make a rescue attempt or be attacked.  May be used twice."
