Loses value in 2HG: duel-shaped card.
- −6Duel-shaped card
Cards that reference 'the opponent' or single-combat framing lose reach when the table has two opponents.
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
Target opponent sacrifices a creature of their choice, discards three cards, then loses 5 life. You return a creature card from your graveyard to your hand, draw three cards, then gain 5 life.
