2HG Rating
40/100
Loses value in 2HG: single-target answer, team anthem.
- −6Single-target answer
Two opponents deploy two boards. Spot removal trades down unless it's cheap or hits multiple permanents.
- −4Team anthem
Anthems only pump creatures you control — your teammate's board is untouched, so they're worse than they look.
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.
