Poison / infect
A 2HG team loses at 15 poison counters rather than 10, so infect clocks are slower than the raw numbers suggest.

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

Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.) At the beginning of your upkeep, create a 1/1 green Phyrexian Insect creature token with infect for each poison counter your opponents have.
