Battle for Zendikar
2HG Rating
54/100
Mixed in 2HG — combat fog / damage prevention, but duel-shaped card.
- +10Combat fog / damage prevention
You're defending against two attacking players out of one shared life pool. Fog effects buy a full team turn.
- −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.
