Loses value in 2HG: incremental lifegain, duel-shaped card.

• −5
  Incremental lifegain

  60 shared life is a bigger pool than 20, so small lifegain is proportionally weaker — and it's the same pool your teammate is spending.

• −6
  Duel-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.
