2HG Rating
98/100
Gains value in 2HG: hits each opponent, symmetrical discard, damage to each opponent.
- +22Hits each opponent
There are two opponents in 2HG, so every 'each opponent' clause resolves twice against a single shared life total.
- +12Symmetrical discard
'Each opponent discards' is a two-for-one in 2HG. Syphon Mind and friends jump several tiers here.
- +14Damage to each opponent
Drain and burn that reads 'each opponent' comes off one shared 60-life total, so the printed number doubles.
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.
