Knights of the Black Rose
52PlayableCreature — Human Knight
March of the Machine Commander
2HG Rating
52/100
Mixed in 2HG — triggers off opponents, but incremental lifegain.
- +11Triggers off opponents
'Whenever an opponent…' fires for two players instead of one, so these triggers pay out roughly twice as often.
- −5Incremental lifegain
60 shared life is a bigger pool than 20, so small lifegain is proportionally weaker — and it's the same pool your teammate is spending.
- −4Monarch / initiative
In 2HG the monarch is held by a team, so the crown swings between two players and is much harder to steal back.
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
When this creature enters, you become the monarch. Whenever an opponent becomes the monarch, if you were the monarch as the turn began, that player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
