Team-wide edict
Forcing both opponents to sacrifice strips two boards for one card — the classic 2HG blowout.

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

Each player sacrifices a creature of their choice. If you sacrificed a creature this way, you may return another permanent card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
