Gains value in 2HG: hits each opponent, team-wide edict, board sweeper.

  • +22
    Hits each opponent

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

  • +12
    Team-wide edict

    Forcing both opponents to sacrifice strips two boards for one card — the classic 2HG blowout.

  • +16
    Board sweeper

    A wrath answers two developed boards at once. Sweepers are premium removal in 2HG.

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.
