2HG Rating

51/100

Mixed in 2HG — triggers off opponents, but duel-shaped card.

Weak in 2HGNeutralFormat staple
  • +11
    Triggers off opponents

    'Whenever an opponent…' fires for two players instead of one, so these triggers pay out roughly twice as often.

  • −6
    Duel-shaped card

    Cards that reference 'the opponent' or single-combat framing lose reach when the table has two opponents.

  • −4
    Monarch / initiative

    The monarch is still one player, not the team, and the other team can send both players' creatures at that one head in a single combined attack.

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

When Garland enters, target opponent becomes the monarch. Whenever an opponent becomes the monarch, gain control of target creature that player controls for as long as they're the monarch. Creatures you control but don't own get +2/+2 and can't be sacrificed.
