86/100

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

  • +22
    Hits each opponent

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

  • +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

Repartee — Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell that targets a creature, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
