2HG Rating
67/100
Mixed in 2HG — team-wide edict, but duel-shaped card.
- +12Team-wide edict
Forcing both opponents to sacrifice strips two boards for one card — the classic 2HG blowout.
- +11Triggers off opponents
'Whenever an opponent…' fires for two players instead of one, so these triggers pay out roughly twice as often.
- −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.
