2HG Rating
62/100
Mixed in 2HG — board sweeper, but team anthem.
- +16Board sweeper
A wrath answers two developed boards at once. Sweepers are premium removal in 2HG.
- −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.
