    Combat fog / damage prevention

    You're defending against two attacking players out of one shared life pool. Fog effects buy a full team turn.

  • 5
    Incremental lifegain

    60 shared life is a bigger pool than 20, so small lifegain is proportionally weaker — and it's the same pool your teammate is spending.

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

Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn. You gain 1 life for each attacking creature.
