2HG Rating

79/100

Mixed in 2HG — hits each opponent, but incremental lifegain.

  • +22
    Hits each opponent

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

  • +12
    Symmetrical discard

    'Each opponent discards' is a two-for-one in 2HG. Syphon Mind and friends jump several tiers here.

  • −5
    Incremental lifegain

    60 shared life is a bigger pool than 20, so small lifegain is proportionally weaker — and it's the same pool your teammate is spending.

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

As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature. Flying When this creature enters, each opponent discards a card and loses 2 life. You draw a card and gain 2 life.
