Mixed in 2HG — cheap interaction, but duel-shaped card.

+6
Cheap interaction
Turns are shared and fast in 2HG. One- and two-mana answers let you hold up interaction without losing tempo.
−6
Duel-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.

Oracle text

{B} , {T} : Choose target opponent who has at least two fewer creature cards in their graveyard than you do as you activate this ability. Destroy target nonblack creature that player controls.
