Loses value in 2HG: single-target answer, duel-shaped card.
- −6Single-target answer
Two opponents deploy two boards. Spot removal trades down unless it's cheap or hits multiple permanents.
- −6Duel-shaped card
Cards that reference 'the opponent' or single-combat framing lose reach when the table has two opponents.
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.
