2HG Rating
84/100
Gains value in 2HG: hits each opponent, symmetrical discard.
- +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.
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
Read ahead (Choose a chapter and start with that many lore counters. Add one after your draw step. Skipped chapters don't trigger. Sacrifice after III.) I — You may sacrifice a creature. If you do, each opponent discards a card. II — Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. III — Target opponent may sacrifice a nonland, nontoken permanent of their choice. If they don't, they lose 2 life and you draw a card.
