Gains value in 2HG: hits each opponent, team-wide edict.

    Hits each opponent

    There are two opponents in 2HG, so every 'each opponent' clause resolves twice against a single shared life total.

  • +12
    Team-wide edict

    Forcing both opponents to sacrifice strips two boards for one card — the classic 2HG blowout.

Ratings start at a neutral 50 and are adjusted by rules derived from 2HG's structure — shared 60 life, shared turns, two opponents. They'll be recalibrated against real play rates once teams start submitting decklists.

Oracle text

When Acererak enters, if you haven't completed Tomb of Annihilation, return Acererak to its owner's hand and venture into the dungeon. Whenever Acererak attacks, for each opponent, you create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token unless that player sacrifices a creature of their choice.
