As a noobish, I could enjoy this, as it would be a great learning experience. There's no way (I am aware of) to go back and look at other peoples turns after I lose to them (for good reason), and this limits how much I learn from losing - I can observe a few key things. Some games (Supreme Commander, a RTS, for one) let you see every replay anyone else has ever done... that REALLY accelerates the learning curve.

As far as the cooperation,obviously it would help expand magic paths quicker, and might help more one-dimension races, but there's no problem with that. I wonder how often 2 players on the same team might change things back and forth, or how much one whole team would be played by the one best player.
