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

    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 this enchantment enters, you become the monarch. At the beginning of your end step, if you're the monarch, return up to one target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. Whenever a creature you control dies, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
