2HG Rating

98/100

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

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.

  • +12
    Symmetrical discard

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

  • +14
    Damage to each opponent

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

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

0: Exile Kaya or up to one target creature. Return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of your next upkeep. You lose 2 life. −1: Each opponent loses 2 life and you gain 2 life. −2: Each opponent discards a card and you draw a card.
