Symmetrical discard
'Each opponent discards' is a two-for-one in 2HG. Syphon Mind and friends jump several tiers here.

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

When this creature enters, each player discards a card. Unearth {1} {B} ( {1} {B} : Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step or if it would leave the battlefield. Unearth only as a sorcery.)
