2HG Rating
44/100
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.
Oracle text
+1: Surveil 2. −1: Any number of target players each discard a card. −2: Return target creature card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. −7: Flip five coins. Target opponent skips their next X turns, where X is the number of coins that came up heads.
