Loses value in 2HG: duel-shaped card.
- −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.

If that player doesn't, you mill X cards, where X is the number of influence counters on Palantír of Orthanc, and that player loses life equal to the total mana value of those cards.
