Final Fantasy Commander
2HG Rating
51/100
Mixed in 2HG — triggers off opponents, but duel-shaped card.
- +11Triggers off opponents
'Whenever an opponent…' fires for two players instead of one, so these triggers pay out roughly twice as often.
- −6Duel-shaped card
Cards that reference 'the opponent' or single-combat framing lose reach when the table has two opponents.
- −4Monarch / initiative
In 2HG the monarch is held by a team, so the crown swings between two players and is much harder to steal back.
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.
