Hour of Devastation
2HG Rating
86/100
Gains value in 2HG: hits each opponent, damage to each opponent.
- +22Hits each opponent
There are two opponents in 2HG, so every 'each opponent' clause resolves twice against a single shared life total.
- +14Damage 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
+3: Each opponent loses 3 life unless that player sacrifices a nonland permanent of their choice or discards a card. −3: Destroy target creature. Draw a card. −11: Nicol Bolas deals 7 damage to each opponent. You draw seven cards.
