65/100
Gains value in 2HG: symmetrical lock piece, cheap interaction.
- +9Symmetrical lock piece
Stax and tax effects tax two opponents for the price of one, while your team plans around them together.
- +6Cheap interaction
Turns are shared and fast in 2HG. One- and two-mana answers let you hold up interaction without losing tempo.
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.
