84/100

Gains value in 2HG: hits each opponent, symmetrical discard.

  • +22
    Hits each opponent

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

  • +12
    Symmetrical discard

    'Each opponent discards' is a two-for-one in 2HG. Syphon Mind and friends jump several tiers here.

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.
