2HG Rating

82/100

Mixed in 2HG — hits each opponent, but monarch / initiative.

Weak in 2HGNeutralFormat staple
  • +22
    Hits each opponent

    There are two opponents in 2HG, so every 'each opponent' clause resolves twice against a single shared life total.

  • +14
    Damage to each opponent

    Drain and burn that reads 'each opponent' comes off one shared 60-life total, so the printed number doubles.

  • 4
    Monarch / 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

At the beginning of your end step, if you're the monarch, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
