2HG Rating

36/100

Loses value in 2HG: poison / infect, single-target answer.

Weak in 2HGNeutralFormat staple
  • −8
    Poison / infect

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

  • −6
    Single-target answer

    Two opponents deploy two boards. Spot removal trades down unless it's cheap or hits multiple permanents.

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.
