Mixed in 2HG — symmetrical lock piece, but symmetrical card advantage.
- +9Symmetrical lock piece
Stax and tax effects tax two opponents for the price of one, while your team plans around them together.
- −12Symmetrical card advantage
Shared draw feeds two opponents and only one teammate. The math is against you in 2HG.
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
Players can't draw cards. At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player exiles the top card of their library. If it's a land card, the player puts it onto the battlefield. Otherwise, the player casts it without paying its mana cost if able.
